A gripper (1) for handling a twistlock (2) is provided. The twistlock (2) comprises a body (20), a first cone (21) and a second cone (22). The gripper (1) comprises: a pair of clamps (13) arranged opposite to each other and configured to hold the body (20) of the twistlock (2) during mounting or dismounting the twistlock (2); a twister (11) configured to twist the first cone (21) of the twistlock (2) when the body (20) of the twistlock (2) is held by the clamps (13); and a pair of cylinders (12) each comprising a gas supply pipe (121) and an output shaft (122) connected to the respective clamp (13), wherein the gas supply pipes (121) of the cylinders (12) are in fluid communication with each other. The rotation axis (Ob) of the cones (21,22) of the twistlock (2) and the rotation axis (Oa) of the twister (11) tend to be aligned with each other in the movement direction of the output shaft (122), rendering the first cone (21) of the twistlock (2) easy to be twisted.
