About the CLB Container Lugs

The CLB container lugs are designed to fit to the side of the container in either top or bottom anchor ports/holes. One of the biggest benefits of the CLB lifting lugs is that they incorporate a spring loaded bolt. This prevents the lug from being unintentionally released whilst in use.

The CLB comes as a set of 4 lifting lugs, 2 are for the right side and 2 are for the left side. They are simple to fit by just sliding them into the relevant hole and giving it a quarter turn to lock into place. They have been designed to replace the use of standard chain hooks which can easily slip out. They are actually easier to use than a standard hook which is a dangerous practice and not recommended.

There are two choices of safe working loads for the CLB lugs for lifting and moving containers. For a 32000kg lift the sling will be at a 50 degree angle from vertical; for a 50000kg lift the sling will be vertical. Any deviations from this will affect the SWL and safety of the lift. They are not to be used with a single 4 leg chain sling as the pulling angle will be incorrect,

With a design factor of 4:1 the CLB lifting lugs should be used with a spreader lifting beam to obtain the maximum lifting capacity. Please note the maximum safe working loads indicated are for the set of 4 lugs not individually.
