Quick ties for containers

For lifting and transport of containers there can sometimes be an advantage to couple two or more containers together. Some of the cranes that lift containers can lift one 40’ container. When two 20’ containers are linked together they can be handled as one container instead of two. One 10’ and one 30’ container can be handled as one 40’ container and so on.

Uniteam is able to deliver the necessary Quick-Tie equipment for linking containers. The Quick-Tie units are mounted in the DIN ISO 1611 ISO-corners.

The Quick-Tie units are easy mounted within 10 minutes.

It is cheaper shipping rates for one 40’ than two 20’ers. Savings could be 35%.

This is a coupling device for a rigid and force locking connection of two ISO containers of identical overall height in the longitudinal direction, such as to form a new up to 40 foot container unit. The coupling device is not an integral part of the container but may be carried in a storage compartment in the bottom of the container.

For each container, only two coupling devices are required to establish a rigid and force-locking connection. For a complete coupling of two containers four devices are necessary.
Due to the different ISO openings of the Corner Castings on the front side of each container, the couplings are classified as one upper and one lower coupling
