When moving or stacking shipping containers, a dependable set of Container Lifting Lugs provides the secure connection you need. Supplied in sets of four, these heavy duty lugs have a combined working load of up to 56 tonnes and are designed to attach directly to the container’s corner castings. Each lug can be used with Lifting Chains or slings to form a safe, stable lifting assembly for ports, construction sites, and industrial yards across the UK. Two versions are available depending on how you need to connect them.
The CLB container lifting lug mounts horizontally to the side of the container either at the top or bottom holes and features a spring-loaded bolt to stop accidental release. The CLT container lifting lug fits vertically into the top corner aperture; a quick 90 degree turn locks it securely in place, ready for use with a spreader beam or lifting frame. Manufactured from high-grade steel, each unit is UKCA or CE marked to meet current lifting regulations. Built for strength, durability, and consistent performance, these lugs offer reliable handling in demanding conditions. Note: container lifting lugs must not be used on a four leg chain sling. -
