ABSTRACT:
A modular and stackable cargo container, and a method of protecting such a container. The container comprises a body that defines a cargo space, and that includes a pair of support posts, a header extending between the support posts, and a plurality of post end members connected to the support posts to facilitate handling the cargo container. Energy absorption pads are mounted on the header immediately adjacent the post end members to protect the header from impact damage. In use, container handling equipment may strike and dent the energy absorption pads. After a pad has been dented, it can be cut away from the header, and a replacement pad can be connected to the header to further protect the header from container handling equipment.
