Konttikomponentit

Konttikomponentit refer to the various parts and elements that make up a shipping container. These components are standardized to ensure interchangeability and compatibility across global logistics networks. The primary structural element is the corrugated steel wall, which provides strength and rigidity. The floor is typically made of marine-grade plywood, designed to withstand heavy loads and protect goods during transit. Corner castings are essential, located at each of the eight corners, and are precisely engineered to allow for lifting, stacking, and securing of containers. These castings have specific holes that engage with twistlocks and other securing devices. The roof panel, also made of corrugated steel, offers protection from the elements. Doors are usually found at one end, featuring robust locking mechanisms and sealing to prevent unauthorized access and protect contents from moisture and dust. Gaskets around the doors and panels are crucial for maintaining a weather-tight seal. Internal and external reinforcing members, such as corner posts and header/cross members, contribute to the overall structural integrity of the container. The manufacturing process involves welding these components together using precise specifications to meet international standards like those set by ISO.
