Coupling means (1) for rods (2) to be used for lashing and supporting containers, more particularly containers (9,13,21,22) to be transported on ships, such as cargo ships, which coupling means (1) comprises at least two locking heads (A,B), which locking heads comprise end parts (4,5), and which end parts comprise at least one support surface (6,7) for achieving a lashing function and supporting function, and which end parts can be fitted inside the holes (10, 12) that are on the corners (9',13') or in the corner pieces of containers, for lashing and supporting the containers, and in which coupling means at least two locking heads (A,B) are fitted with a hinge (8) to a rod (2) such that they can be turned around the hinge (8) to the extent of the desired angle, for selecting the locking head (A or B) to be used, and in that the essentially orthogonal distance (A', B') of the support surfaces (6,7) from the center line of the rod is different when either the locking head (A) or (B) is used.
