Term Definition
Fitting
Fittingit is a mandatory element of the container design by a standard device for attaching containers to vehicles or among themselves. Fittings are usually located in the upper and lower corners of the container where rotary locks or other devices are inserted that allow lifting stacking or securing the container. Containers whose length is not a multiple of 20 feet (for example, 45-foot ones), in addition to corner ones, also have an additional set of fittings whose spatial grid corresponds to the grid of 20- and 40-foot containers. This makes it possible to use the same means of transportation and loading and unloading equipment during their operation.
