Basic Definition: Container side lifting eyes are specialized lifting accessories installed on the corner fittings of a container’s body. They serve as the core load-bearing components for container lifting operations and are designed for lifting containers from points on the sides of the container body.

Core Materials and Manufacturing Processes: They are typically forged from high-strength alloy steel, undergo quenching and tempering treatments, and feature a powder-coated or hot-dip galvanized surface for rust prevention. The overall structure offers high strength, impact resistance, and wear resistance, making them suitable for complex outdoor operating environments such as ports, logistics facilities, and construction sites.

  Standard Specifications: Mainstream rated loads range up to 112.5 metric tons. The design typically features a 45-degree angle, and the large-eye structure facilitates connection to lifting accessories such as wire ropes and chains.

  Functions and Applications: Enables self-loading and self-unloading of containers. Working in conjunction with a main hook for lifting and a secondary hook for securing, it quickly lifts and positions containers onto trailers. It is widely used in scenarios such as long-distance container transport and handling, port transshipment, and warehouse relocation.

  Compliance and Usage Requirements: Must be used in conjunction with a 2-point or 4-point lifting beam. Lifting must be performed exclusively at the corner fittings on the bottom of the container to avoid load angle deviations that could reduce the rated working load and to ensure lifting safety.
