Container Lifting Lugs

Container Lifting Lugs

Our container lifting lugs are a robust solution for your cargo handling needs. They are designed to work with containers featuring a bottom lifting slot - whether it's a standard container or a specialized cargo unit - making them incredibly versatile.

This collection includes two distinct types of container lifting hardware: M&W container lifting lugs, designed for containers with a bottom lifting slot, and Gunnebo CH3 container hooks, designed to engage standard ISO container corner castings. Both are available in Straight, Left, and Right configurations to match your specific lifting assembly.

M&W Bottom Lifting Slot Lugs

M&W container lifting lugs are designed to work with containers featuring a bottom lifting slot. To lift a standard container, you'll need four lugs. 

Straight lifting lugs are generally used in conjunction with lifting beams or spreader bars. They are positioned parallel to the sides of the container.

Left and right lift lugs are typically used with a sling-based lifting system where the lug can't be at a 90 degree angle to the bottom of the container. Due to the specialized design, you'll need two of each lug (for a total of four).

Gunnebo ISO Corner Casting Hooks

Gunnebo CH3 container hooks are designed to engage standard ISO container corner castings - the fitting found at each corner of a standard shipping container - rather than a bottom lifting slot. Available in straight, left, and right configurations.
