Stacking Cones - Container Ship Specific
Stacking cones are removable steel fittings placed between ISO container corner castings to align vertically stacked containers and resist horizontal movement. Standard cones provide positioning but do not positively lock containers together.
ProShipWorks provides end-to-end support to source and supply Stacking Cones for marine vessels, ship operators, industrial facilities, maintenance teams and procurement departments.
