Container Lifting Lugs

About

Container Lifting Lugs for Crane Lifts Shipping containers are built to be stacked and shipped, and yards and job sites often need to pick them up with a crane. Container lifting lugs give the rigging a certified connection point at each lifting position. This collection features M&W container lifting lugs made in the USA, in straight, left-hand, and right-hand styles, each with a 19,000 lb. working load limit. Every lug is sold individually.

Red The rating is for a single lug. It does not mean four lugs can lift four times that load in every setup, because the lifting arrangement and the angle of the rigging change how much load each lug carries. Work out the container's gross weight and the load at each lug before you pick your rigging. Straight vs. Left and Right Lugs Straight lugs The listing describes container lifts that use four straight lugs with a matching spreader or lifting beam and rigging. If your setup uses a beam, see lifting beams and spreader bars and container lifting beams . Left-hand and right-hand lugs The left-hand and right-hand lugs are directional. They are meant to be used as a matched set, typically two left and two right on one lift. Buy them in pairs so each corner has the correct lug. Count and match A single standard lift typically calls for four lugs: four straight, or two left-hand and two right-hand. Do not mix styles within a lift unless the manufacturer's instructions say you can.
