When handling shipping containers, safety, strength and reliability are key. The container lifting lug is an essential element for efficient and safe lifting and handling of containers in ports, warehouses or construction sites. Sold only as a complete set of 4 pieces.

Eye construction

Container lifting lugs are designed to be placed in the corner castings of shipping containers. This system allows for quick, easy and safe attachment of lifting equipment. The set always contains 4 pieces, which corresponds to the four corners of the container, and is sold only as a whole. One eye weighs 7.25 kg, so the weight of the whole set is 29 kg.

Dimensions:

• inner eye diameter 45 mm

Top material for maximum safety

The eyes are made of 42CrMo – medium carbon alloy structural steel, which is known for its high strength, toughness and excellent wear resistance. This material is one of the ultra-high strength steels with long life and reliability even under repeated and strenuous use. Compared to conventional steels, 42CrMo offers better overall properties and is industrially recognized as the ideal choice for stressed components.

Surface treatment and marking

The lifting eyes are provided with a yellow signal topcoat, which increases their visibility and contributes to operational safety. This color is only superficial and any abrasions or minor damage do not affect the functionality or strength of the product.

The products are marked with load capacity, material, serial number and other important information to help ensure proper and safe use.
