Heavy Duty Shipping Container Tow Bar for ISO-Standard Containers - Robust Construction for Safe and Efficient Towing

Professional-Grade Control for Container Movement

The Heavy Duty Shipping Container Tow Bar is a robust, purpose-built tool that makes positioning and towing containers effortless. Engineered for direct compatibility with ISO-standard bottom corner castings, this tow bar for shipping containers forms a secure “V”-shaped connection between your vehicle and container.

Each heavy-duty cast-iron bar locks firmly into the corner castings, creating a stable and controlled link that enables smooth navigation through tight spaces, narrow yards, or confined work areas. Once in place, it provides complete directional control — ideal for towing, repositioning, or aligning loaded and empty containers with precision.

Designed for Safety, Strength, and Efficiency

This industrial-grade shipping container tow bar has been designed for operators who demand both safety and reliability. Its heavy-duty cast-iron construction ensures exceptional strength and load capacity, while its galvanised surface finish offers long-lasting protection against corrosion, weathering, and impact damage.

The tow bar features a reinforced coupling point at the front that can be attached to a forklift, tug, or yard truck towing pin. This allows for secure vehicle connection while maintaining full mobility of the container during movement. Whether you’re transferring a 20ft or 40ft container across your site, this durable shipping container tow bar kit provides stability and control under heavy loads.

By maintaining a rigid towing line, it prevents unwanted swaying or lateral movement, ensuring that your container tracks smoothly and safely behind the vehicle.

Quick and Secure Installation

Designed for practical on-site use, the Heavy Duty Shipping Container Tow Bar can be installed and removed in minutes. Simply slot each half of the tow bar into the lower corner castings of the container to form a secure “V” configuration. No welding, drilling, or modification is required — just a solid, ISO-standard fit that guarantees performance and safety.

Once the bars are inserted and the towing pin connected, you’re ready to move. This fast-mount system makes the shipping container tow bar kit perfect for frequent operations where containers need to be repositioned quickly or regularly relocated.
