ABSTRACT:
A container for intermodal transportation of goods is disclosed which has a floor, a roof, and includes side walls having a plurality of vertically oriented stacking frame posts joining a floor-level lower stacking engagement fitting and a roof-level upper stacking engagement fitting. At least one post in each side wall has an inner post member and an outer post member fixed to each other to form a generally box-shaped structure. A reinforcement plate is situated adjacent the floor-level lower stacking engagement fitting and fixed within the box-shaped structure to the inner post member. A notch in each inner post member adjacent the lower stacking engagement fitting exposes an inner surface of the reinforcement plate to permit the insertion of a weld joining the reinforcement plate inner surface to the engagement fitting. An angle member is received within the notch and extends onto the engagement fitting. A perimetral weld joins the angle member to the reinforcement plate inner surface, the inner post member and the engagement fitting so as to strengthen the stacking frame against racking.
