A releasable semi-automatic clamping device for holding down a corner fitting of a container to an underlying support, such as a load platform of a road or rail vehicle, in which the device enters the corner fitting via a lower entrance aperture upon relative closing movement between the support and the corner fitting. The device comprises a clamping head which is rotatable between a clamping position and a release position, and which is usually biased towards the clamping position by a biasing means. A remotely operated release mechanism is coupled with the clamping device and can be operated remotely to move the clamping head from the clamping position to the release position, and includes a remote actuator positionable at a remote operating location, e.g. the cab of a vehicle or in the cockpit of an aircraft, and an elongate connection, preferably a cable, interconnects the remote actuator and the clamping head.
