Uses

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.

In this how-to we will cover some of the different methods to mount a floodlight to a shipping container using Domino Clamps. In a previous blog we explained some of the reasons why you might want to attach lighting to a shipping container, these included security and safety...

As part of the design process for the Domino Clamp there were many considerations to take. We had to think about fabrication methods, materials and tolerances, and we spent over two years exploring these before finalising a design. However, there was always one area which we knew was going to be paramount to producing a safe and functional product…Testing and ensuring the strength and load taking capabilities.

ISO1161 Corner castings are the big three-holed blocks of Corten steel which form the corners of all internationally standardised ISO shipping containers. They are the structural elements that are used to lift shipping containers as well as to connect them to whichever mode of transportation is being used to move the container such as ships, trains or road vehicles...

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. 

Our sign post kit allows you to quickly attach 48mm tube-mounted signage to a shipping container without the need to drill into the container causing permanent damage. So in places where there are shipping containers, let’s see why it might make sense to attach the signs you need directly to the container using Domino Clamps.

In this blog we look at some of the reasons you might want to add lighting to a shipping container. But it’s not only the practical reasons for adding lighting to consider, stage lighting or festoon can enhance the appearance of a venue or concession stand making it more appealing to potential customers. Using Domino Clamps ensures the pole won't be disturbed by high winds or easily removed by passers by. 

Setting up a shipping container office can provide a good solution for those requiring a home office and small businesses alike. Our guide provides expert tips from start to finish for your container office conversion project.

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.  

In this blog we will be looking at the Pros and Cons of welding shipping containers compared to using a mechanical fixing like Domino Clamps. We spoke to Eyal Edelman, an experienced welder whose projects involving shipping containers include the Pop Brixton project in 2015.
