Containers are essential to store or transport items. They need to remain sturdy and robust despite the temperature or their heavy weight.
Have you ever considered the containers never topple over despite the traffic conditions?
A process called container corner casting ensures that these containers stay where they are. Before you talk to a Corner Casting Supplier In Dubai, make sure that you are aware of the details of the same.
What is a container corner casting?
A corner casting is a process that is subjected to shipping containers that ensure that each of them stays connected as well as the different transport modes of a ship, rail, and air.
Details about the corners
The top and bottom corners are not fitted with similar castings. For example, the top corners are adjusted to a fitting of acorn shape while the bottom corners get semicircle fittings.
However, it is not up to a supplier to change the fitting size and shape since the above-mentioned dimensions are decided by ISO 1161. According to ISO, each corner must have two fittings each:
- Top Left: 2 pcs
- Top Right: 2 pcs
- Bottom Left: 2 pcs
- Bottom Right: 2 pcs
