It is important to note that Domino Clamps fit both the shield AND and stadium holes, but NOT the much larger stacking holes on the top of the top casting and the underside of the bottom castings.
The left and right castings, both top and bottom are just mirror images of each other but are the same in all other respects. If you are unsure which casting you are looking at, it will have been cast with two letters on the inside which will be visible when looking in through the stacking hole; TL for top left; TR for top right; BL for bottom left; and BR for bottom right.
If your shipping container is made to ISO standards it will have a code printed on the top right hand corner of the door as you look at it from the outside, it will also appear on the top right hand corner of the side of the container under the container number.
Please check our blog about how to identify an ISO shipping container for more information If you are still unsure about this, please email us with pictures of your container and we will do our best to let you know. There are various other types of corner fitting often found on containerised units, which to the untrained eye may look the same or similar to an ISO container.
Check the thickness of the steel at the stadium hole, if it is thin, anything less than about 18mm, then it is most likely not an ISO corner casting. Again, if you are unsure or have any other questions, please feel free to contact us and ask. The Domino Clamps have a rotating clamping plate which is inserted into the stadium or the end holes of the corner casting and is done up with a hex key to tighten it onto the side of the casting.
