How It Works

The Domino Clamp inserts into one of the holes in the side of the shipping container’s ISO standard 1161 corner casting. Holding the Domino Clamp in position with one hand, use a 10mm allen (hex) key to tighten the M16 bolt in the center of the Domino. The locking plate will automatically rotate into position and clamp the Domino firmly to the corner casting.

Once the Domino Clamp is attached firmly to the container you can bolt on whatever you like using one or more of its four M12 threaded holes, Their centers are spaced 100mm apart horizontally, and 50mm apart vertically. Perfect for mounting a half coupler for attaching scaffolding to a shipping container.

This could be done with a custom made plate but it is not the main purpose of Domino Clamps. There are already plenty of products which join or lock together shipping containers. Our product is unique in providing a universal fixing plate onto which you can bolt just about anything else.

Yes! The Domino attaches into EITHER the side OR end holes of the shipping container (which we call the stadium and shield holes, on account of their shape). It will not attach to the much larger holes on the top or undersides of the corner castings.

No problem. You only need access to the hole that the Domino Clamp is clamping into. There is no need to reach into or look inside another one of the holes to secure it in place, rotate it or to ensure that it is clamped in correctly.

Yes. The Domino Clamp does not take up much space inside the corner casting, and if there is already a twistlock in use locking the container to another one above, it will not obstruct the Domino Clamp as it attaches into the side hole.

Yes. You could attach a Domino Clamp into both of the side holes on the corner casting. This can be used when attaching particularly heavy loads to the container.

Well, there are two side holes on each corner casting, and a Domino can attach to each of these simultaneously. All cuboidal shapes have 8 vertices (corners), so that’s 8 x 2 = 16 Domino Clamps on a single container.
