Ningbo Hansheng Machinery Parts Co., Ltd. (Ningbo Yifei Machinery Parts Co., Ltd.) is a Container Casting Parts manufacturer and supplier based in Ningbo, Zhejiang, China. Founded in 2003 and operating from a 5,000 m² facility, we produce container corner castings, twistlocks, lashing equipment, and fixed fittings through sand casting, investment casting, die casting, and forging. Our parts serve container manufacturing, logistics fleets, port terminals, and intermodal transport equipment. We support OEM projects with dimensional control, material certification, and surface treatment options.
Our Container Casting Parts Range
We supply three main product groups under this category. Each group addresses specific connection, locking, or structural requirements in container handling and transportation.
Container Corner Castings & Fixed Fittings
ISO 1161 corner castings (top left/right, bottom left/right) in special cast steel, 178 mm × 162 mm × 118 mm, 11 kg/piece. Available with BV or ABS certification. Also includes bridge fittings, dovetail foundations, single/double stackers, welding cones, lashing eyes, eye plates, turnbuckles, and lashing bars. Used on dry cargo, reefer, open-top, and GP containers.
Twistlocks & Locking Devices
Manual, semi-automatic, dovetail, and intermediate twistlocks machined via CNC for precise fit with corner castings. Side-mounted twistlocks (ZG 270/500 steel, hot-dip galvanized) for bolting or welding to footings. Essential for securing containers to chassis, ship decks, or container buildings.
Lashing Equipment & Accessories
Lashing D-rings (galvanized or forged steel), tension levers, lashing bars, and related spare parts. Designed for lashing systems on trailers, trucks, and vessel decks. Hot-dip galvanized or powder-coated for corrosion resistance in marine environments.

Manufacturing Processes & Quality Control
We produce container parts through sand casting, investment casting, die casting, and forging, depending on the part geometry, quantity, and mechanical requirements. Key production equipment includes wax injection machines, CNC machining centers, and heat treatment furnaces. Quality assurance follows ISO 9001:2008, with 100% dimensional inspection and material verification via spectrometer. For corner castings, we can provide BV or ABS certification upon request.
- ✓ Spectrometer analysis for material grade confirmation
- ✓ Dimensional control with CMM and gauges (typical tolerance ±0.05 mm on critical features)
- ✓ Surface treatment: hot-dip galvanizing, powder coating, painting, or zinc plating
- ✓ Traceability from raw material batch to finished part
Application Fit & Integration
Container casting parts are used in standard freight containers, refrigerated containers, open-top containers, and special project containers. They also serve intermodal chassis, trailer bogies, port cranes, and lifting equipment. Our parts are designed to meet ISO 1161 and EN 12079 dimensional and strength requirements, ensuring interchangeability with global container fleets.
For port and terminal applications, we supply lashing rings and bridge fittings that withstand repeated loading cycles. For container buildings, side-mounted twistlocks allow structural attachment without additional support legs. We also support custom designs for non-standard container sizes or specialized transport frames.
Information We Use to Configure Your Solution
To prepare a quotation and select the appropriate casting or forging process, we need the following project details:
- • Part drawing (PDF, AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or Pro/E) with dimensions, tolerances, and thread specifications
- • Material grade or performance requirements (strength, hardness, corrosion resistance)
- • Annual or per-order quantity (for process selection and tooling amortization)
- • Surface finish and coating specification (e.g., hot-dip galvanizing, powder coating)
- • Certification requirements (BV, ABS, material test reports)
- • Delivery terms and target port
Our engineering team reviews the working point, load conditions, and production target before recommending a casting method and machining sequence. We provide samples for approval before mass production.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you provide BV or ABS certification for corner castings?
Yes. Our ISO 1161 container corner castings can be supplied with BV or ABS certificates. We also offer material test reports upon request.
Can I order only top left/right corner castings without the full set?
Yes. You can order TL/TR or BL/BR individually. The standard set includes 2 TL, 2 TR, 2 BL, and 2 BR, but we accommodate partial sets.
What surface treatments do you offer for twistlocks and lashing rings?
We offer hot-dip galvanizing, powder coating, painting, zinc plating, and epoxy coating. The choice depends on the marine or road transport environment.
What is the typical lead time for container casting parts?
Lead time depends on the part complexity and quantity. Standard corner castings and twistlocks are typically shipped within 2–4 weeks after order confirmation. Custom parts may require additional time for tooling.
Do you stock container corner castings in your factory?
Yes, we maintain stock of standard ISO 1161 corner castings. Contact us for current availability and pricing.
Can you machine twistlocks to non-standard dimensions?
Yes. We accept OEM orders and can machine twistlocks and other container parts according to your drawing. CNC machining ensures repeatable accuracy for custom designs.
