Container Lashing Parts Lockable Stacking Cone BC-G2

• Product Description

A Container Lockable Stacking Cone is an essential container securing device used in ports, container yards, ships, and intermodal transportation systems. It is designed to connect and secure stacked ISO shipping containers, preventing movement caused by wind, vibration, vessel motion, or handling operations. By providing a positive locking connection between containers, lockable stacking cones significantly improve safety and stability during storage and transportation.

A lockable stacking cone is a steel fitting that is inserted into the corner castings of two vertically stacked shipping containers. Unlike standard stacking cones, the lockable version incorporates a locking mechanism that securely engages the container corner castings, preventing accidental disengagement.

The device is typically manufactured from high-strength forged or cast steel and finished with hot-dip galvanizing or corrosion-resistant coatings to withstand harsh marine and outdoor environments.

Main Components

A typical container lockable stacking cone consists of:

• High-strength steel cone body
• Locking head or rotating lock mechanism
• Release handle or operating lever
• Safety pin or retaining device
• Corrosion-resistant surface treatment

These components work together to create a secure mechanical connection between stacked containers.

Features and Benefits

Enhanced Container Stability

The lockable design prevents containers from shifting or separating during transportation, loading, unloading, or long-term storage.

Improved Safety

By securely locking containers together, stacking cones reduce the risk of container collapse, protecting personnel, cargo, and equipment.

Easy Installation and Removal

Most lockable stacking cones are designed for quick manual operation, allowing workers to install and release them efficiently without specialized tools.

High Load Capacity

Manufactured from heavy-duty steel, lockable stacking cones are capable of withstanding substantial compression and shear forces generated by stacked containers.

Corrosion Resistance

Hot-dip galvanized or painted finishes provide excellent protection against rust and environmental exposure, ensuring long service life.

Applications

Container lockable stacking cones are widely used in:

• Container shipping vessels
• Port terminals
• Container freight stations
• Railway container transportation
• Logistics distribution centers
• Offshore container operations
• Temporary container storage yards

They are particularly important when containers are stacked multiple tiers high or exposed to strong winds and dynamic loads.

How It Works

The stacking cone is first inserted into the upper corner casting of the lower container. Once the upper container is positioned, the cone enters the corresponding bottom corner casting. The locking mechanism is then activated, securing both containers together.

When unloading is required, the operator simply releases the locking device and removes the cone for reuse.
