Pulling lug

A pulling lug for dragging containers into position at ground level without lifting equipment. The flat plate lug's T-tab drops into the ISO 1161 corner casting aperture, presenting a large eye for a shackle, chain or wire rope.

Description

Used when a container has to be pulled or dragged into position without lifting equipment — common on construction sites, in container depots, and during modified container installations where crane or forklift access is limited. The flat plate lug's T-tab drops into the corner casting aperture, and its eye takes a towing shackle or chain. Safe working load is 5 t, for horizontal use only.

Features

• T-tab drops straight into the corner casting aperture — no tools, no modification
• Large eye takes a shackle, chain or wire rope
• Horizontal dragging only — never for vertical lifting
• Hot dip galvanised under Sunrise Yellow paint, for visibility and corrosion protection

Where it is used

For repositioning containers in depots, aligning them onto a trailer or low-bed, placing them on site foundations, manoeuvring in workshops, and working low-clearance or restricted-access sites.
