A coupling unit for electrically connecting a head-block to a spreader in a container-lifting arrangement includes a plug member to be mated with a socket member. One of the plug and the socket members is supported on the head-block and the other one is supported on the spreader. Upon connection and disconnection, the plug and socket members are controllable in relative movement separate from the movement of the head-block relative to the spreader. One of the plug and socket members is associated with an actuator and guided for linear movement relative to the other one, whereas the other one of the plug and socket members is universally flexibly suspended.
