Shipping Container Corner Castings: Top and Bottom ISO Fittings Differences

By | Education | No Comments

Today, we will be looking at corner castings for shipping containers and the differences between the top and bottom fittings. These are on the four corners of a sea container that allows it to be lifted off the ground by a container handler for transportation.

We sell a lot of these corner castings at The Container Guy. People use them for building skids or welding them to containers to lift up with twist locks, forklifts or chassis. On our website, we have many sea can accessories for moving and securing ISO containers.

We have twist locking mechanisms, container lifters, bridge fittings, mounting plates, and attach skids.

We will finish off the mod by installing a 10” exhaust fan, intake damper vents, a heat pump / AC unit, panic bar door hardware with a self-closing device, and a final coat of epoxy floor coating.
