Shipping Container Grounding Anchor Brackets

Product Description

Our Shipping Container Grounding Anchor Brackets allow containers to be held in position when on a concrete base.

A common issue when shipping containers are on sites with a lot of materials handling equipment, such as forklift trucks, telehandlers and diggers, is them being knocked accidentally or moved out of position. This can not only be frustrating but also very dangerous. If a shipping container has anything stacked on top of it, such as another storage container or even a containerised office. Or if this shipping container on the ground has anything attached to it such as a personnel staircase, a walkway, landing or even a shipping container canopy, a knock out of position to the bottom container can cause all sorts of problems and health an safety issues. These anchor brackets can help secure the base of any container structure to protect against knocks and shifting containers. These anchor brackets can also be used if the area is prone to flooding and you want to keep the container firmly planted in its position in the event of a flood (otherwise it may just float away), and for temporary structures such as container walls and shopping centres.

Although the bracket doesn’t actually bolt to or penetrate the container side, so if you buy the container from us too they will not invalidate your wind and water tight guarantee, they do still hold the unit in place very well, considering the upright bend is only an inch or so. They are made from 200mm x 10mm flat bar and do need securing to the floor however using suitable bolts (for fixing to concrete we recommend Steel Anchor Bolt M10 x 100mm) The ground they’re connecting too must be a hard standing base and level for best results. You can weld the container to these supports for additional anchorage if required.

When used as a set of 6 this provides and exceptionally strong anchor for your shipping container, but for additional strength you can weld these brackets to the corner castings on the shipping container if your feel that your specific site or risk needs this additional support.

Please note when stacking shipping containers, we also recommend considering our shipping container interlocks to help secure stacked shipping containers together.

Features and Fixing

As above these brackets are supplied in kits of 4 or 6. Subject to if you want to stop side-to-side movement or side-to-side AND the movement backwards. typically we do not offer brackets for the door end of the container as they would hinder the door operation – If you do have a requirement for the container not to move in this direction too do please contact us and we can look at other options for you.

The brackets supplied have 3 or 4 pre-drilled 14mm diameter holes per bracket. For fixing to concrete we recommend Steel Anchor Bolt M10 x 100mm fixings, other surfaces may require different fixings. Fixings are not supplied.

Obviously the only part we cannot help with is the ground prep. The site will have to drill relevant hole(s) and ensure the surface being fixed to is suitable.

Stacking

When stacking anything on top of anything, whether its a canteen on an office, or a 20ft store on top of a welfare unit these grounding anchor brackets offer protection against any potentially dangerous knocks and shoves. If you have anything stacked container-wise we’d always recommend shipping container interlocks, these paired with our Shipping Container Grounding Anchor Brackets offer a solid and worry free solution.
