UsesPipe and Tube

The shipping container roof bracket can be used for projects like roofing, framing, mounting photovoltaic solar panels, adding extra stability and reducing movement of your structure along the length of the container.

Due to customer demand we are pleased to introduce a range of three kits for mounting a banner frame to your shipping container. Read the blog to find out how to attach a banner to your shipping container...

We spoke to Peter Scott, the Managing Director of Tidworth Self Storage about a recent project they completed to install CCTV to the site, using Domino Clamps.

You may already know that we stock a range of Interclamp’s cast iron tube clamps which are available for 34, 42 and 48mm diameter tube (1”, 1 ¼” & 1 ½” pipe) but if you’re looking to attach tubes, pipes and cylindrical masts with a larger diameter than that, then our new Unistrut pipe clamps are perfect for the job.

We spoke to Will from Will To Train, who describes himself as a personal trainer, group fitness instructor and lover of all things fitness related, about his experience using Domino Clamps to attach gym equipment to a shipping container.

James Way, Assistant Harbour Master and VTS Manager at Guernsey Ports, recently used Domino Clamps to secure communication masts to the side of their new Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) control room which is built from converted shipping containers. VTS is basically the equivalent of air traffic control at sea.

Adal Advertising is a Domino Clamps customer from the Netherlands, who recently put together this substantial steel tube frame on the side of a shipping container in order to attach a huge advertising banner to the side of it.

In this blog we’ll show you how to attach various lengths and diameters of metal tube or pipe vertically to a shipping container using our selection of vertical tube clamp accessories.

In this blog we’ll show you how to attach a tube or pipe perpendicular out of the side of the corner casting so that it comes out at a 90 degree angle away from the container. Attaching a bar or horizontal support to a container is a really practical way of then attaching other things off your container, particularly things which can hang, like signage, lighting, drapes or banners.

So far we’ve provided solutions to attach a metal tube to a shipping container vertically, for attaching accessories like floodlights and CCTV. And horizontally, sticking out perpendicular to the container which can be particularly useful if you want to attach something at the same height as the top of the shipping container like a hanging sign. So the last orientation to solve was to attach a tube horizontally along the side of a container. 

Metal tubes are a really useful and versatile fixing point, so being able to attach one to a shipping container opens up a lot of possibilities. In this blog we will provide an overview of how to attach steel tube and scaffolding to a shipping container, focussing on our pipe and tube clamp solutions in more detail; what types and size tube they can help you attach, in what orientation, and for what purpose.

Rather than simply placing lighting precariously on top of the container, attaching it with cable ties, or going to the effort of framing off the whole container with scaffolding or truss, this how-to will show you how to get a long steel pole up, rigged to your container, ready to hang some decorative lighting or festoon.
