Abstract

An open-sided freight container includes a base structure (5), a structural framework that extends upwardly from the base structure and corner fittings including four intermediate top corner fittings (10) at a longitudinal spacing between the centres of their top openings of about 11985mm to enable the container to be handled by load handling equipment for lifting 40ft (12192mm) containers. At least one of the intermediate top corner fittings (10) above an open side of the container is provided by a first end portion of a cantilever arm, the second, opposite, end portion of which is fixed to a vertical member (19) extending downwardly to the base structure and to a horizontal member (21) extending longitudinally away from the intermediate top corner fitting to an end portion of the container. The vertical and horizontal members are secured to the second end portion of the arm in a cantilever arrangement with the arm extending substantially horizontally and longitudinally inwardly to the first end portion.
