AS 3711.4:2015 pdf free.Freight containers Part 4: General purpose containers (ISO 1496-1:2013, MOD)
All containers shall be equipped with top and bottom corner fittings 1 EEE and 1EE units shall also have intermediate fittings in the 1 AAA/1 AA/1 A position, according to ISO 1161.
The upper faces of the top corner fittings shall protrude above the top of the container by a minimum of 6 mm (see 5.3.4). The“top of the container” means the highest level of the cover of the container, for example the level of the top of a soft cover. However, if reinforced zones or doubler plates are provided to afford protection to the roof in the vicinity of the top corner fittings, such plates and their securements shall not protrude above the upper faces of the top corner fittings. These plates shall not extend more than 750 mm from either end of the container or on either side of intermediate fittings but may extend the full width.
Consequently, these containers shall have end transverse members and sufficient intermediate load transfer areas (or a flat underside) of sufficient strength to permit vertical load transfer to or from the longitudinal member of a carrying vehicle. Such longitudinal members are assumed to lie within the two 250 mm wide zones defined by the broken lines in Annex B of ISO 668:1995.
For all containers under dynamic conditions, or the static equivalent thereof, with the container having a load uniformly distributed over the floor in such a way that the combined mass of the container and test load is equal to 1,8 R, no part of the base of the container shall deflect more than 6 mm below the base plane (bottom faces of the lower corner fittings).
The base structure shall be designed to withstand all forces, particularly lateral forces, induced by the cargo in service. This is particularly important where provisions are made for securement of cargo to the base structure of the container.AS 3711.4 pdf free download.
