Lifting 2 x 20' Containers using Container Joiners

SBdanger

ENSURE that container joiners are attached to both sides of the containers BEFORE lifting the containers.

SBdanger

Do not use container joiners with flat racks.

Container joiners can join two 20-foot containers so that they may be lifted together as if they were one 40-foot container.

Fit the joiners into the bottom corner castings on both sides of the containers and lock them.

When not being used, store the container joiners on their chassis mounting brackets or in the toolbox.

Rating

Steelbro container joiners (Part Number LF-20020) are rated to be used to lift 2 containers each with a maximum gross mass of 15,000 kg.
