TOP AND BOTTOM CORNER LIFT FITTINGS FOR A CARGO CONTAINER

摘要

A lift fitting for cargo containers. The lift fitting can be constructed as an intermediate lift fitting to be positioned inboard from the corners of the container. The lift fitting defines a hollow body member with apertures for receiving lifti ng such as a crane arm or coupling devices such as twist locks. The lift fitting also has an extension on an outside surface for attachment to the cargo container to maintain the integrity and geometry of the container and to minimize the number of welds and the associated construction costs. In a particular example, the lift fitting has both a horizontal extension and a vertical extension for attachment to a cargo container.
