ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method are disclosed for removably attaching an ISO corner fitting to a composite material shipping container. The apparatus and method of the invention comprises a post that is anchored in the composite material frame of the container. The ISO corner fitting is then attached to the post using a connector assembly that may be engaged and disengaged as needed to attach and detach the ISO corner fitting from the post. The post has a plurality of grooves formed thereon that help hold the post in the composite material of the shipping container. The grooves transfer any tension or compression loads that are applied to the ISO corner fitting directly to the shipping container.
