The present invention provides a biasing means for a container twist lock in which the biasing means is a torsional spring with spiral coils that has a first end that engages within the twist lock assembly and a second end that engages with the shaft of the 5 twist lock assembly. The torsional spring provides a more robust and secure engagement of the head of the twist lock assembly. The addition of an indicator arm operatively engaging with the spring provides a way of assessing the condition of the twist lock spring as either being in the lock or unlock position.
