4. Detailed Construction and Features of Quadcon Containers

Flooring

The floor will consist of six pieces of plywood boards, a floor centre rail, and self-tapping screws.

Floor：

The wooden floor of the Quadcon container is constructed with 28 mm thick hardwood plywood boards, which are laid longitudinally on the transverse members between the 4.0 mm thick flat bar floor center rail to the bottom side rails.

The floorboards are tightly secured to each transverse member by self-tapping screws, and all butt joint areas and peripheries of the floorboards are caulked with sealant

• Wood species: Apitong or
• Glue: Phenol-formaldehyde
• Treatment:

a) Preservative: Meganium or Equivalent.

In accordance with Australian Health Department Regulations.

b) Average moisture content will be 12% before installation.

Self-tapping screw：

Each floorboard in the Quadcon container is fixed to the transverse members by zinc-plated self-tapping screws that are 8.0 mm dia. shank x 16 mm dia. head x 45 mm length, and fastened by four screws per cross member but five screws at joint areas. Screw heads are to be countersunk with about 2 mm below the floor top surface.

Rear frame structure

The rear frame will be composed of one door sill, two corner posts, one door header and four corner fittings, which will be welded together to make the doorway.

Door sill

The door sill of the Quadcon container will be made of 4.5 mm thick pressed open-section steel and reinforced by four internal gussets at the back of each locking cam keeper location.

The upper face of the door sill has a 10 mm slope for better drainage. It is cut out at each end of the door sill and reinforced by a 200x75x9.0 mm channel steel as protection against handling equipment damages.

Rear corner post

Each rear corner post of the hollow section is fabricated with a 4.5 m m thick pressed steel outer part and a 40x113x12 m m thick hot rolled channel section steel inner part, which are welded continuously together to ensure a maximum width of the door opening and to give a sufficient strength against stacking and racking forces.

Four (4) sets of hinge pin lugs are welded to each rear corner post.

Door header

The door header of the Quadcon container is constructed with a 4.0 mm thick pressed “U” section steel lower part having four internal gussets at the back of each locking cam keeper location and a 3.0 mm thick pressed steel upper part, which is formed into a box section by continuous welding.

Door

• Each Quadcon container will have double wing doors at the rear end frame, and each door will be capable of swinging approximately 270
• Each door is constructed with two 3.0 m m thick pressed channel section steel horizontal frames for the top and bottom, two 100x50x3.2 m   m thick rectangular hollow section vertical frames for the post side and centre side of the door, 1.6 m m thick horizontally corrugated steel door panel, which are continuously welded within frames.
• Two sets of galvanized ” SL-F/2″ or equivalent bolt-on model locking assemblies with forged steel handles are fitted to each door using zinc-plated steel bolts and Huck bolts according to TIR requirements. Locking bar retainers are fitted with nylon bushings at the top, bottom and intermediate bracket. Locking gears should be assembled after painting of container.
• The left-hand door can not be opened without opening the right-hand door when the container is sealed in accordance with TIR
• The door hold-back of nylon rope is provided to the centre locking bar on each door and a hook of steel bar is welded to each bottom side
• Each door is suspended by four hinges be ing provided with stainless steel pins, self-lubricating nylon bushings and Stainless steel washers, which are placed at the hinge lugs of the rear corner posts.
• The door gasket is to be made of an extruded J&C-type EPDM rubber is installed to the door peripheral frames with stainless steel gasket retainers which must be caulked with butyl sealant before installation of the gasket, and fastened by stainless steel rivets at a pitch of 150

Roof structure

The roof of the Quadcon container will be constructed with five five-corrugated (die-stamped) steel panels and four corner protection plates.

• Roof panel

The roof panel is constructed with 1.6 mm thick die-stam ped steel sheets having about 5.0 m m upward smooth camber, which is welded together to form one panel and continuously welded to the top side rails and top end rails. All overlapped joints of inside unwelded seams are caulked with chloroprene sealant.

• Protection plate

Each corner of the roof in the vicinity of the top corner fitting is reinforced by a 3.0 m m thick rectangular steel plate to prevent damage caused by the mishandling of lifting equipment.

Top side rail

Each top side rail is made of a 60x60x3.0 mm thick square hollow section steel.

Sidewall

The trapezium section side wall is constructed with 1.6 m  m thick fully vertically continuous-corrugated steel outer panels near each post and 1.6 mm thick intermediate inner panels, which are butt welded together to form one panel and continuously welded to the side rails and corner posts.

Front structure

The front-end structure of Quadcon containers will be composed of one bottom-end rail, two corner posts, one top-end rail, four corner fittings, and an end wall, which are welded together.

• Bottom end rail

The bottom end rail to be made of a 4.0    mm thick pressed open-section steel is reinforced by four internal gussets.

It is cut out at each end of the bottom end rail and reinforced by a 200x75x9.0 mm channel steel as protection against handling equipment damages.

• Front corner post

Each corner post is made of 6.0 mm thick pressed open-section steel in a single piece and designed to give sufficient strength against stacking and racking forces.

• Top end rail

The top end rail is constructed with a 3.5 mm thick “Z” shaped pressing steel plate.

• Front wall

The trapezium section front wall is constructed with 1.6 m m thick vertically corrugated steel panels, butt welded together to form one panel, and continuously welded to front end rails and corner posts.

All overlapped joints of the inside are caulked with chloroprene sealant.

Special feature

• Customs seal provisions

Customs seal and padlock provisions are made on each locking handle retainer to cover the sealed area in accordance with TIR requirements for Quadcon containers.

• Lashing fittings

Five (5) lashing hoop rings are welded to each top and bottom side rail at recessed corrugations of side panels but do not extrude any cargo space (a total of 20 rings).

Each lashing point is designed to provide a “1,500 kgs pull load in any direction” without any permanent deformation of the lashing ring and surrounding area.

Three (3) lashing rods are welded to each corner post at the position of 150 m m higher from the floor and 200 m m lower from the bottom surface of the top corner fitting and middle of the corner post.

Three (3) lashing rods are welded to each corner post at the position of 150 mm higher from the floor and 200 m m lower from the bottom surface of the top corner fitting and middle of the corner post.

• Shoring slot

A shoring slot, having a size of 60 mm width x 40 mm depth is provided on each rear corner post so that 2 1/4″ thick battens can be arranged to be able to prevent doors from damage due to shifting cargo.
