Using the Container Lifting Lugs

1.

With the clevis facing away from the container, insert the lug into the container casting hole.

2.

Rotate the lug so the clevis moves towards the centre line of the container and until the roll-pin prevents it from rotating any further.

3.

The clevis now points inwards at an angle of approximately 60 degrees to the horizontal. The roll-pin prevents the lug from accidentally falling out of the container corner casting.

4.

When the container is lifted, the lug will slide to the top of the container corner casting hole and rotates backwards slightly to the angle of the supporting chain. This removes any load from the roll-pin.

The angle of support chains ensures that the lifting lugs stay locked inside the container castings while the container is suspended.

SBdanger

Using the Sidelifter lifting chains instead of appropriate lifting accessories for handling non-ISO container items, or for top lifting of ISO containers, will cause severe damage to the machine, and place personnel at risk. Any such action will void our warranty.
