Heavy Duty Foldable Shipping Container Tow Bar
Move containers with ease and precision using our Heavy Duty Cast Iron Tow Bar Set, designed specifically for ISO container bottom corner castings. Built to last, this pair of tow bars forms a secure ‘V’ shape when fitted, providing strength and stability for safe towing. A front mounted hole allows quick attachment to a forklift, tractor, or truck towing point, giving operators complete control when manoeuvring containers.
Perfect for tight yards, warehouses, and ports, this tow bar system makes it simple to navigate narrow corners and confined spaces while keeping containers steady and secure.

How It Works
A tow bar links your forklift or vehicle to a shipping container through the ISO corner castings. Once fitted, the tow bar provides a solid connection, enabling you to tow containers fitted with ISO castors, wheels, or platforms. For maximum manoeuvrability, pairing the tow bar with ISO castors ensures easier turning and positioning, especially in confined spaces.
