A cargo container securing device for securing the container to a support chassis, such as a trailer chassis, or for securing auxiliary equipment to the container, in which the securing device comprises a clamping device (10) to be mounted at a suitable anchor point on the chassis, and a recessed fitting (11) securable to the container e.g. as a corner fitting, with the fitting (11) having an entrance to a recessed interior (15) which receives a clamping portion of the clamping device (10) and also has a seating (18) forming a clamping face engageable with the clamping device, in which the clamping device (10) comprises: a mounting body (12), an actuator pin (13) rotatably body (12) and arranged to be received by the entrance to mounted on the body (12), a spigot (14) mounted on the the fitting (11), a clamping head (17) mounted on the actuator pin (13) and receivable by the recess (15) in the fitting and rotatable between an entry position in which it can pass through the entrance to the interior (15) of the fitting (11) and a clamping position in which it is engageable with the seating (18), a cam arrangement (47) operative to move the clamping head (17) relative to the body (12) in a direction parallel to the axis of the pin (13) upon rotation of the actuator pin in order to clamp the fitting (11) to the body (12), and a resilient element (19) arranged to bias the clamping head (17) in a direction towards the seating (17) and thereby assist the clamping action between clamping device (10) and fitting (11) when the head (17) is rotated to the clamping position. <IMAGE> |
