ABSTRACT:
In order to secure small and medium-size containers having a width of e.g. 2200 mm to locking members as provided at a standard lateral spacing of 2259 mm on vehicle platforms designed for transporting ISO containers, such small or medium containers are equipped with double-fittings (12) each comprising two openings (13) and projecting beyond the width dimension of the container. The center-to-center spacing of the two openings (13) is 280 mm and thus corresponds to the distance of pairs of locking members which are provided on such platforms for engaging adjacent corner fittings of two ISO containers placed behind each other. By the simultaneous coupling to such pairs of locking members, safe securing with better distribution of forces is achieved also for containers that are shorter than the shortest ISO container.
