How Can You Secure Containers Without Permanent Twistlocks? On ship decks, transport platforms and steel structures, permanently installed twistlocks can restrict how the available space is used. When the container is removed, the twistlocks continue to protrude from the surface and may obstruct equipment, cargo and everyday operations. But how can you create a secure…

Chain or wire – which offshore sling should you choose? An offshore sling is an essential part of a container’s lifting equipment. It connects the container’s lifting points to the crane and must be correctly dimensioned for both the container and the specific lifting operation. The choice between a chain sling and a wire sling…

New or used container – which should you choose? Choosing between a new and a used container is not only about the price. The container’s condition, documentation, expected service life, delivery time and intended use are also important factors. A new container provides a solution with no previous wear and tear and a known history.…

A container door should open and close without excessive force while protecting the contents from wind, rain, dust and moisture. Over time, however, the door may become difficult to operate, may no longer seal properly or may not lock correctly. This does not necessarily mean that the entire door needs to be replaced. The problem…

Containers are used today as workshops, storage units, technical rooms and temporary workspaces. Many of these applications require easy access to power for tools, machinery, lighting and other electrical equipment. A traditional electrical installation may require careful planning and permanent modifications to the container. A magnetic electrical distribution board provides a flexible alternative that can…

Corner castings are a central component of containers and container-based structures. They serve as standardised connection points when a structure needs to be lifted, stacked, transported or secured using twistlocks, stacking cones and other container equipment. Corner castings are available in different materials. The right choice depends on factors such as the structure’s material, the…

Shipping containers are rarely installed under identical conditions. Some projects require additional clearance beneath the container, others need a solution that can be installed and removed quickly, while in many cases the main challenge is uneven ground rather than additional height. For this reason, there is no single Height Adapter that suits every application. The…

Summer is not just about sunshine and high temperatures. Hot days, cooler nights, high humidity and periods of heavy rain can affect both the container and what is stored inside. A steel container reacts quickly to its surroundings. Direct sunlight can heat the steel, temperature fluctuations can increase the risk of condensation, and heavy rain…

Shipping containers are often used to store valuable tools, machinery, equipment, and materials. Yet, security is frequently overlooked until after a break-in has already occurred. In many cases, a break-in isn’t caused by one major mistake—but by several small ones that together make a container an attractive target. Here are five of the most common…

Summer is peak season for festivals, concerts, events and temporary installations. As sites quickly fill up with stages, technical equipment, containers and materials, the same challenge appears time and time again: There is not enough space on the ground. Sound systems, lighting, cables, generators, materials and technical equipment all require valuable space. At the same…

Today, containers are used for much more than transportation and storage. They serve as warehouses, workshops, technical rooms, offices, and temporary logistics hubs. However, getting the most out of a container often requires flexibility in how it is set up. This is where ConFoot container legs can make a difference. Quick Setup Without Unnecessary Delays…

At first glance, stacking containers seems straightforward. You simply place one container on top of another. In practice, however, it is often the last few centimetres that determine whether the operation is completed quickly and smoothly or requires multiple corrective manoeuvres. The higher containers are stacked, the more difficult it becomes to see exactly how…

Container lifting seems simple. Until it isn’t. A container needs to be moved from one location to another. In practice, however, lifting is often one of the most critical moments in a container’s entire lifecycle. Container lifting takes place every day on construction sites, terminals, ports, industrial facilities, and offshore installations. At the same time,…

Two containers placed side by side may seem like a simple solution. But in practice, problems often appear quickly: Movement between the containers Leaks in the connection Wind and water between the units A setup that feels unstable and temporary This becomes especially noticeable on construction sites, offshore installations and storage areas, where containers are…

You already have mounting points in the corner castings with Domino Clamp. But what happens when the construction continues across the full length of the container? That is where many projects run into a practical problem: 👉 A stable mounting point is missing in the middle of the container’s top side rail. In practice, this…
