Lateral coupling of sea containers is possible with the steel Bridgefittings. Thanks to the adjustable system (with screw thread), two containers can be connected quickly. The threads of the bridgefitting can be tightened with a spanner 32 or with an adjustable wrench (Bahco). Bridgefittings are available in two lengths: the smallest version has a maximum width of 260 mm and the larger version has a maximum width of 330 mm. The Bridgefittings are made of high-quality galvanized steel. The finish makes it suitable for years of intensive use. The exact dimensions of the Bridgefitting can be found on the technical drawing.

Suitable for lateral securing of containers or constructions

The Bridgefittings have been specially developed to fix containers laterally. Thanks to the adjustable system of the Bridgefitting, containers can be easily clamped together. Both ends of the fitting are placed in the corner pieces, also called Corner Castings, of the containers. These corner castings are standard equipped with a special opening on the side. The Bridgefittings can easily be clamped in this opening.

The Bridgefittings are mainly used to secure containers on board. In addition, containers can be secured ashore with the fittings. In addition to securing containers, various self-designed constructions and portacabins can also be firmly and safely anchored by Bridgefittings, provided they are fitted with ISO Corner Castings.

Other lashing products are suitable for vertical stacking of containers or constructions. For example, the Intermediate Twistlock IF-51 and Depot Stacker are extremely suitable for vertical anchoring of containers.

Secure using open-end wrench 32 or adjustable wrench (Bahco)

Navacqs Bridgefittings can be used flexibly. The space between two containers or constructions is not always the same. The well-thought-out design makes it possible to adjust the size to the space between two containers.

The fitting consists of two steel claws connected to a pin. The pin is threaded. When tightening the steel pin, the latches move closer together. The threads of the bridgefitting can be tightened with a spanner 32 or with an adjustable wrench (Bahco).

Available in two sizes: small (260 mm) and large (330 mm)

The difference between the 260 mm and 330 mm variants is the spacing of the containers to be connected. In a situation where the containers are placed tightly against each other, the 260 mm version is sufficient. The larger bridgefitting of 330 mm offers more flexibility and can be a solution in a situation where the space between the containers is larger. Both Bridge Fittings can be easily adjusted to length by tightening the screw thread.

Manufactured from galvanized steel

The Bridgefittings are made of high-quality galvanized steel. As a result, they are protected against weather influences and seawater. The protective layer to prevent corrosion ensures that the fittings can be used for a long time.

For smooth operation and long service life, it is recommended to grease the fittings regularly. This prevents dirt from getting into the screw thread. It also offers extra protection against all kinds of weather influences.

Detailed technical drawings are available

The exact dimensions of the Bridgefitting can be found on the technical (.pdf). A drawing is available for the “Small” variant (260 mm) and the “Large” (330 mm). There is also a 3D drawing available as a .stp file. This allows the Bridgefittings to be loaded into a technical drawing package for the design of custom constructions.
