Container Lifting Lugs

Container Lifting Lugs

WHAT ARE CONTAINER LUGS?

Available in various designs, shapes, sizes, and configurations, Lifting Lugs have been precisely engineered to ensure safe and stable lifting. They are typically manufactured from strong materials such as steel and are designed to be super robust and durable in order to handle the considerable weight and tension associated with containers.

They are an essential part of the shipping and logistics industry, and are typically welded onto the corners of standard ISO shipping containers that are used on sea, rail, and road.

KEY FEATURES OF LIFTING LUGS

ATTACHMENT POINTS

Container Lifting Lugs are usually positioned at the top corners of the container, providing designated attachment points for heavy-duty lifting equipment such as cranes or spreader beams.

STRENGTH & DURABILITY

Lifting Lugs are designed to withstand the rigors associated with lifting and moving fully loaded shipping containers. They are constructed to be durable to ensure the safety and security of both the container and its valuable contents.

STANDARDISATION

The design and placement of container lifting lugs are standardised according to ISO specifications for shipping containers. This ensures compatibility with a wide range of lifting equipment and promotes interoperability across the global shipping industry.

IDENTIFICATION

Lifting Lugs can often be purchased colour-coded to enable the quick identification of their safe working load limit. This helps operators and riggers alike, ensure that they are only using the correct gear, significantly improving safety.
