Container mover attacher ideas

[Farmer_Joe]

Gonna build a tool to move shipping containers, I’ve got the drawbar and axle off an 8 tonne spreader, just looking for best ideas to attach these easiest to the container easily,

my plan was a bit of steel across the holes at front/rear with some round 50mm bar with ovals welded on so you put them in and
twist them to lock it to the container?

would have something a bit more beefy than just a girder would require some uprights just looking for ideas on locking it to container with relative ease

We just used a D shackle last time....

 

[Farmer_Joe]

me to, but fancied something a it better, especially for attaching axle to back.
