Description
DALE Container Lifting Spreader Frame Set
The DALE Container Lifting Spreader Frame Set (DCLS) is a heavy-duty, UK-manufactured container lifting solution engineered for the safe, stable, and controlled handling of ISO shipping containers, flat racks, and modular cargo systems. Designed for professional lifting environments, this 30-tonne Safe Working Load (SWL) system combines precision engineering with proven Camlok CLB container lug technology to deliver maximum safety and operational reliability.
Developed by DALE Lifting & Handling Equipment, the DCLS system is fully made-to-order, ensuring complete compatibility with your operational requirements, lifting method, and container configuration.
Container Lifting System Design & Stability
The DCLS spreader frame set is designed as a rectangular lifting assembly that evenly distributes load forces across the container structure. This reduces stress concentrations and minimises the risk of twisting, deformation, or structural overload during lifting and transport operations.
The system is engineered specifically for 20ft and 40ft ISO containers, making it suitable for intermodal logistics, offshore container handling, and heavy industrial cargo movement. Each frame is designed to maintain balanced lift geometry, ensuring stable vertical alignment even under dynamic load conditions.
Key design advantages include improved load control, reduced swing during lifting, and enhanced safety when operating in offshore or high-wind environments.
Camlok CLB Container Lugs – Secure Locking Technology
At the core of the system are Camlok CLB lifting lugs, widely recognised across the lifting industry for their reliability and safety performance.
Each Camlok CLB lug is mounted horizontally into ISO container bottom corner castings and features a spring-loaded locking bolt mechanism that prevents accidental disengagement during lifting operations. This ensures a secure, positive lock at all times, even under vibration or movement.
The integration of Camlok CLB technology provides:
- Secure engagement with ISO container corner castings
- Spring-loaded safety locking system
- Reduced risk of accidental release
- Proven performance in port and offshore environments
Bespoke Engineering & Complete Lifting Assembly
Every DALE DCLS system is manufactured to order, allowing full customisation of:
- Safe Working Load (SWL) up to 30 tonnes
