ABSTRACT:
A freight container made of plastic composite material comprised of (1) an outer skin including a roof, floor and side walls and (2) a main frame structure. The frame structure includes longitudinally extending upper beams and lower beams which extend for the full length of the container. Upright beams connect the upper and lower longitudinal beams at selected locations. The container is also provided with connector regions for connecting two or more intermodal containers in a stacked arrangement and for being engaged by a crane to raise and lower the container. The connector regions are located at intersections of the upper and lower longitudinal beams respectively with certain of the upright beams. The main longitudinal beams are of a tubular construction. Metal reinforcing members are located at each of the upper connector regions and these connectors are effectively incorporated in the hollow beams. Metal lock receiving members are disposed within the upper beams and secured to the reinforcing members. The design is unique in that the metal reinforcing members are effectively integrated into the reinforced plastic composite material construction.
