Container depot repositioning; alignment onto trailer or low-bed; site foundation placement; workshop manoeuvring without crane; low-clearance and restricted-access sites.

Description

Used when a container must be pulled or dragged into position without lifting equipment — common on construction sites, in container depots, and during modified container installations where crane or forklift access is limited. The flat plate lug drops into the corner casting aperture and takes the towing shackle or chain through its eye. Safe working load 5 t, horizontal use only.
