Experience and global use

The company reports decades of activity and more than 200 units sold in 60 countries. Its structures are designed to work with spreaders and cranes on the market.

Standards and certifications

The under-spreader cages (BA-185 and BA-323) are outside the scope of European Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and therefore do not carry CE marking. TEC Container says it follows major international rules and guidance, including ICHCA, ILO, BS, and LR, and updates designs to reflect local codes of practice. Some models have certifications under national standards in Australia, Russia, Spain, and other countries.

The under-hook cages (BA-164) are also outside the scope of European Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and do not carry CE marking. They are designed in accordance with EN 14502-1 for equipment used to lift people in suspended baskets and NTP 956 for work platforms used with forklifts and cranes.

Industry standards work

TEC Container takes part in national, international, and local consultations to support clearer rules for lashing operations, drawing on its experience to improve worker safety through standards agreed on by stakeholders.
