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...

Mihalis Kuzmics, an ex-marine surveyor and founder of BOTC training in Latvia, recently used Domino Clamps to attach a ringlock scaffold structure incorporating ladders and a platform to a shipping container, creating a mobile training site that is mainly used for their Work at Height Training.

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.

With gigs being booked up again for later in the year, it’s not just construction sites that will benefit from sealing off gaps in temporary fencing by terminating the final panel against a shipping container.   So in this blog, we will be looking at some of the reasons for attaching fencing to a shipping container. 

Navigating the world of tube and pipe sizes can be overwhelming, especially when dealing with both metric and imperial measurements In this guide, we'll break down the basics of tube and pipe sizing, clarify key terminology, and introduce you to the various tube clamps we offer to fit them.  

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. 

Our unique solution for attaching scaffolding and other diameter steel tubes to shipping containers was one of the first bolt-ons we added to our range after releasing the Domino Clamps because they made a whole multitude of other attachments possible, since 48mm (4”) steel tube particularly is so ubiquitous.

A guide to securely mounting a speaker on top of a shipping container using Domino Clamps to fix to the container, and by using a palm railing fitting to attach a vertical pole, similar in size to that of a standard speaker pole to the Domino Clamp.
