RMweb Premium Mike_Walker Posted November 10, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 10, 2021 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwealleans Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Ambis also do some in various sizes. I've used both and neither is markedly better or worse than the other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used small offcuts of small brass tubes to represent the shock absorbers . Edit for typo . Edited November 10, 2021 by 1466 Typo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
number6 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 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. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
