Frequently Asked Questions
What lashing equipment do I need for my container?
This depends on your load and setup. For securing goods inside a container, D-rings are ideal, while twist locks, stacking cones, and corner locks are used for stacking or linking containers.
Are lashing points compatible with all containers?
Weld-on and bolt-on D-rings can be added to most container types. Twist locks, stacking cones, and corner locks are designed specifically for standard ISO corner castings.
What’s the difference between twist locks, stacking cones, and D-rings?
Twist locks and stacking cones secure containers to each other for stacking or linking. D-rings create tie-down points for securing cargo inside or outside a container. Each serves a different purpose, so choose based on whether you’re securing goods or the container itself.
What’s the difference between manual and semi-automatic twist locks?
Manual twist locks need to be locked and unlocked by hand, while semi-automatic versions engage automatically when the container is lowered into position. Semi-automatic locks help speed up handling and reduce manual work on busy sites.
Are welded-on D-rings stronger than bolt-on?
Yes. Weld-on D-rings provide a permanent, heavy-duty anchor point with a much higher load rating. Bolt-on rings are still strong but are better suited for lighter loads or situations where you need flexibility in positioning.
How many lashing points do I need?
This depends on your cargo weight and how it’s distributed. As a general rule, heavier or unbalanced loads need more securing points to prevent movement. If in doubt, adding extra anchor points provides safer restraint. If you want a clearer understanding of how lashing works, read more in our container lashing guide.
