ABSTRACT:
A cargo container has a frame (3) and a door (8,9) mounted on the frame. A support, preferably in the form of stacking plate (30), is mounted on the door so that when the door is closed and excessive loads applied externally to the container distort the container frame, the support (30) mounted on the door (8.9) engages the frame (3). The support and the door thereby together share the loading forces of the external load with the container frame. Conveniently, the support is spaced from an ISO lifting casting (26) constituting part of the frame (3) of a container, when there are no external loading forces applied to the container frame. Preferably, part of the support is provided by one (19) of two side members (19,20) of the door arranged to extend in a direction between upper and lower crossmembers of the container, in use.
