Chains for containers

[Mike_Walker]

This has probably been asked before, but I want to add securing chains for a container loaded on a Conflat (4mm).  Suitable chain seems readily available but can anyone suggest a source of the screw link style tensioners?

 

Thanks in advance,  Mike

Ambis also do some in various sizes.   I've used both and neither is markedly better or worse than the other.

I endorse Jon’s suggestion of Roxey screw shackles for wagon loads  . I used small offcuts of small brass tubes to represent the shock absorbers .

Ah... lockdown. I remember it well. 

Had dozens of containers to do. Roxey shackles and some random chain - I blackened it all then threaded the chain and pinned it to the chassis and container - then fixed in place with superglue. Looks okay from normal distance.

Brilliant!  Many thanks to all.
