Everything Container

Top Lifting Lug

The container top lifting lug is used to safely lift shipping containers with cranes using the appropriate techniques. The lifting lugs minimize the exertion of forces on containers if they have not been designed to accommodate lifting via the corner castings.

This container lifting lug can easily be inserted into a corner casting and also has an added safety feature, i.e., the black slider which falls into place once the lug has been inserted and twisted into the corner casting.

Description

The container top lifting lug is used to safely lift shipping containers with cranes using the appropriate techniques. The lifting lugs minimize the exertion of forces on containers if they have not been designed to accommodate lifting via the corner castings.

This container lifting lug can easily be inserted into a corner casting and also has an added safety feature, i.e., the black slider which falls into place once the lug has been inserted and twisted into the corner casting.

To remove the lug, simply lift the black slider and twist the lug 90°, then and pull it out of the corner casting and store it correctly.

As this a certified piece of lifting equipment, it should be handled with care and not dropped onto hard surfaces. Dropping the piece of equipment could damage the integrity as well as remove the paint. The lug should not be used for any other purpose other than lifting of containers. These top lifting lugs must be used in pairs of 2 or 4.
