Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the container's lifting eyes are clean and free from debris.
- Align the lug's eye with the container's lifting eye.
- Slide the lug onto the container's lifting eye until fully seated.
- Verify the spring-loaded bolt has engaged and locked the lug securely. For straight hook versions, ensure the gravity plate is engaged.
- Connect your lifting sling, wire, or cable to the lug's eye.
Compatibility:
These lugs are compatible with standard ISO shipping container corner castings. They are designed to work with chain slings, wire rope slings, and synthetic rope slings that have appropriate working load limits.
Care:
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the lugs before and after each use for any signs of wear, cracks, deformation, or damage to the locking mechanism. Check the spring-loaded bolt for proper function.
- Cleaning: Clean with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the finish or the steel.
- Storage: Store in a dry, protected area when not in use to prevent unnecessary corrosion or damage.
- Load Limit: Always adhere to the 12.5 Ton Safe Working Load (SWL) limit. Never exceed this limit. Ensure the total load weight, including the container and its contents, does not surpass the SWL of the lugs and associated rigging equipment.
