Definitions

  • This invention relates to open-sided freight containers and more particularly, but not exclusively, to open-sided 45ft (13 716mm) freight containers, and to corner fittings for use in such containers.
  • an open-sided freight container includes, but is not limited to, the following: a container with at least one side which is able to be covered by a flexible covering such as a tarpaulin which can be moved away from the side of the container to allow access into the container through the open side (such a container is referred to herein as a curtain-sided container); a container with a roof but at least one side which is entirely open along most of its length to allow access into the container; and, a container having a base structure and ends upstanding from the base structure but no roof or sides along at least most of its length (such a container is referred to herein as a flatrack).
  • a container with at least one side which is able to be covered by a flexible covering such as a tarpaulin which can be moved away from the side of the container to allow access into the container through the open side
  • a container with a roof but at least one side which is entirely open along most of its length to allow access into the container
  • containers have existed in standard lengths especially 20ft (6096mm), 40ft (12 192mm), 13 600mm (a container that is known by its metric length) and 45ft (13 716mm) lengths.
  • the 40ft (12 192mm) length of container has been especially popular and load handling equipment provided at container facilities are usually able to handle 40ft (12 192mm) containers, whatever other length or lengths of container they may be able to handle.
  • 45ft (13 716mm) containers are becoming increasingly popular as the largest container that can be transported by road in Europe, but such containers are usually provided with intermediate corner fittings at the spacing (11 985mm centre-to-centre spacing) of the corner fittings on a 40ft (12 192mm) container so that they can be handled by load handling equipment intended for 40ft (12 192mm) containers.
  • load handling equipment intended for 40ft (12 192mm) containers.
  • GB2368336 discloses an open freight container according to the preambule of claim 1, with intermediate corner fittings, with diagonally extending corner braces used to provide additional support to the corner fittings.
  • the corner braces include hinges to enable movement between their supporting positions and a non-obstructing position when the container is being loaded or unloaded.
  • an open-sided freight container including a base structure, a structural framework that extends upwardly from the base structure and corner fittings including four intermediate top corner fittings at a longitudinal spacing between the centres of their top openings of about 11 985mm to enable the container to be handled by load handling equipment for lifting 40ft (12 192mm) containers, a vertical member extending downwardly from the top corner fitting to the base structure of the container, the vertical member being offset outwardly in a longitudinal direction from the intermediate top corner fitting by a distance of more than 150mm measured between the centre of the top opening of the top corner fitting and the longitudinally inner face of the vertical member, leaving the space on the longitudinally inner side of the vertical member and under the intermediate top corner fitting open for allowing side access, characterised in that at least one of the intermediate top corner fittings above an open side of the container is structurally secured in a cantilever arrangement to the structural framework.
  • the overall length of the open part of the open-sided container can be increased. Even a small increase can be very useful in enabling particular goods to be loaded through the open side of the container.
  • first and second intermediate top corner fittings above the same open side of the container and towards opposite ends of the container are each secured in a cantilever arrangement, the structural framework including a first vertical member extending downwardly from the first intermediate top corner fitting to the base structure of the container and a second vertical member extending downwardly from the second intermediate top corner fitting to the base structure of the container, each vertical member being offset outwardly in a longitudinal direction from the respective cantilevered intermediate top corner fitting by a distance of more than 150mm measured between the centre of the top opening of the top corner fitting and the inner face of the vertical member, leaving the space on the longitudinally inner side of the vertical member and under the cantilevered intermediate top corner fitting open for allowing side access.
  • first and second intermediate top corner fittings are spaced by the same distances from the respective adjacent ends of the container, but it is also possible for them to be spaced by different distances.
  • inner faces of the first and second vertical members are spaced by the same distances from the respective ends of the container, but it is also possible for them to be spaced by different distances.
  • the container may be open on one side only, the other side in that case being closed. It is, however, preferable for there to be open access to both sides of the container and for the length of both open sides to be extended at both ends.
  • both sides of the container are open-sided and third and fourth intermediate top corner fittings are arranged above the other side of the container in substantially the same manner as the first and second intermediate top corner fittings.
  • intermediate bottom corner fittings are below floor level and are not affected by the open-sided nature of the container.
  • the invention is especially advantageous when applied to a 45ft (13 716mm) container although it may also be applied to containers of other lengths.
  • a vertical member is provided directly underneath each intermediate corner fitting and the gap between the vertical members is therefore less than 12 000mm.
  • the more that gap can be increased the better the access to the container and in a container embodying the invention the gap is usually more than 12 300mm and preferably more than 12 500mm.
  • the gap is 12 600mm.
  • the offset of the vertical member from the cantilevered intermediate top corner fitting is required, in the first aspect of the invention, to be more than 150mm, it is preferably more than 250mm and more preferably greater than 300mm.
  • the container can be arranged such that even in the region of the vertical member it is not unduly narrow. More particularly the internal width of the container in the region of the vertical member may be more than 2420mm. In a container described below it is more than 2430mm, being 2434mm. Such widths are advantageous in allowing two pallets of 1,2m width or three pallets of 0,8m width to be placed across the container in the region of the vertical member.
  • the cantilevered intermediate top corner fitting is secured in a cantilever arrangement both to the vertical member extending downwardly to the base structure and to a horizontal member extending longitudinally outwardly to an end portion of the container.
  • the cantilevered securing of the intermediate top corner fitting to both the vertical and horizontal members enables the loads to be shared between those members enabling those members to be of smaller cross-section and thereby enabling the free space within the container to be increased.
  • the cantilevered intermediate top corner fitting supports a horizontal beam extending across the top of the container, preferably aligned longitudinally with the top opening in the corner fitting. It is desirable for the container to be reasonably strong across its top at that position.
  • Corner fittings of freight containers are typically of cuboidal shape and formed in one piece, usually as castings. It is, however, possible to form corner fittings in other ways: for example openings may be formed in end parts extending from the top to the bottom of the container or the fittings may be fabricated from one or more metal sheets bent into the required shape. Similarly the intermediate cantilevered corner fitting described herein may be fabricated from one or more sheets of metal, but it is preferably of one piece construction and is preferably a casting.
  • an open-sided container embodying the invention may take various forms. For example, it may have a roof and one or two open sides each covered with a flexible covering which can be moved away from the side of the container to allow access into the container. It is also within the scope of the invention for it to be without a roof and for the sides to exist only adjacent to the ends of the container; such a container is commonly referred to as a flatrack.
  • the intermediate top corner fitting employed in embodiments of the present invention is itself of novel construction and according to a third aspect of the invention there is provided an intermediate top corner fitting for a 45ft (13 716mm) open-sided freight container as defined above, the corner fitting being of elongate form and including a cantilever arm having first and second opposite end portions, the first end portion including a top opening for engagement by load handling equipment for lifting 40ft (12 192mm) containers and the second end portion being fixable to a vertical member extending downwardly to the base structure of the container and to a horizontal member extending horizontally to an end portion of the container.
  • the fitting may of course have other of the features described above with reference to the container of the first and second aspects of the invention.
  • the present invention still further provides an open-sided freight container including a corner fitting as defined above, the corner fitting being positioned along the top of the container intermediate the ends of the container.
  • the open-sided freight container may also incorporate any of the features defined above with reference to a container of the invention.
  • first and second corner fittings Whilst it will usually be appropriate to include first and second corner fittings on the same side of the container along the top of the container intermediate the ends of the container, another possibility is to have just one intermediate top corner fitting on each side of the container so that, for example, there may be a total of six top corner fittings. Such an arrangement may be suitable where an especially asymmetric arrangement of side opening is desired.
  • the freight container shown in Fig 1 is of generally cuboidal shape having ends 1, 2, open sides 3 (only one of which is visible in Fig 1 ), a roof 4 and a base structure 5 on the top of which is a floor 6 (the floor being partly cut away in Fig 1 to reveal the base structure of the container).
  • the end 1 of the container is provided with a pair of double doors 7.
  • the container is symmetrical about a vertical longitudinal plane.
  • the sides 3 of the container are coverable by tarpaulins 8 (only partly shown in Fig 1 ) which can be tied securely to the container along their bottom edge but also untied and moved away to allow open access to the sides of the container in a manner well known per se.
  • the freight container is a 45ft (13 716mm) container and is provided with eight corner fittings 9 at the corner extremities of the container, with four intermediate top corner fittings 10 and with four intermediate bottom corner fittings 11 (only two of which are visible in Fig 1 ).
  • the openings in the intermediate corner fittings 10, 11 are at the same spacings (11 985mm centre-to-centre spacing) as the corner fittings located at the corner extremities of a 40ft (12 192mm) container so that the containers can be lifted by load handling equipment arranged to lift 40ft (12 192mm) containers by engagement of the equipment in top openings 12 of the intermediate top corner fittings 10, and to enable a mixture of 40ft (12 192mm) and 45ft (13 716mm) containers to be stacked on top of one another with twist-locks engaging corner fittings at the corner extremities of the 40ft (12 192mm) containers and intermediate corner fittings of the 45ft (13 716mm) containers.
  • each intermediate top corner fitting 10 is of a special design which will now be described with reference to Figs 2a and 2b .
  • the fitting 10 is of generally elongate form and comprises a cantilever arm 13 having a first end portion 14 and a second, opposite, end portion 15.
  • the first end portion 14 has the top opening 12 in the standard location but that represents just the end portion 14 of the fitting 10.
  • the fitting 10 is elongate and the second, opposite, end portion 15 is provided with a protuberance 16 for closely fitting inside and welding to a horizontal, longitudinal, member and a protuberance 17 for closely fitting inside and welding to a vertical member.
  • the first end portion 14 is formed with an open topped socket 18 for receiving as a close fit and welded thereto a horizontal, transverse, member.
  • Fig 2a may give the impression that the corner fitting is solid except in the region of the opening 12 that is not the case: the fitting is formed in one piece as a steel casting and is of limited wall thickness throughout as indicated by dotted lines in Fig 2b .
  • Fig 1 it may be noted that the corner fitting exactly as shown in Figs 2a and 2b is only used for two of the intermediate top corner fittings 12 and that a mirror image of the corner fitting exactly as shown in Figs 2a and 2b is used for the other two intermediate top corner fittings.
  • each fitting 10 is secured in a cantilever arrangement to the vertical members 19 and the horizontal members 20.
  • the vertical members 19 are offset outwardly in a longitudinal direction from the top openings 12 in the corner fittings 10 with the result that the longitudinal gap between the vertical members 19 is greater than the spacing between the openings 12, thereby increasing the side access to the container.
  • Such an increase, although small, is nonetheless valuable, especially as it does not result in any significant reduction in the interior width or height of the container in the region of the members 19, as can be seen from the drawings.
  • the open sides 3 of the container are interrupted at two locations by vertical support posts 22. Similar posts 22 are provided on the other side of the container (not visible in Fig 1 ) but are staggered slightly from the positions on the side shown in Fig 1 . The purpose of the posts 22 is simply to support the roof partway along its longitudinal span. The posts 22 are not required to support greater loads, such as for example the load of a container stacked on top, and can therefore be of thin and lightweight construction; they may also be removable, if desired.
  • the intermediate top corner fittings 10 are shown each having a single opening, namely a top opening. It is possible for the fittings also to be provided with side openings as are some standard 45ft containers.
  • Fig. 6 is a similar view to Fig. 4 but of the modified container and the same reference numerals are used in Figs. 4 and 6 to designate identical or almost identical parts.
  • Fig. 6 is a similar view to Fig. 4 but of the modified container and the same reference numerals are used in Figs. 4 and 6 to designate identical or almost identical parts.
  • the two intermediate top corner fittings 10a adjacent one end of the container are arranged in generally the same way as before but a little further from the end of the container, while the other two intermediate corner fittings 10b adjacent to the other end of the container (in the illustrated case the end 2) are arranged immediately adjacent to the end of the container.
  • the intermediate top corner fittings 10a, 10b are still spaced at the spacing s of 11 985mm as in the previous example, but they are asymmetrically positioned along the length of the container.
