Corner Castings are robust corner blocks that are placed on the corners of containers. They are of great importance for the safe lifting, securing and stacking of sea containers. These corner blocks are made of high-quality cast steel (SCW480) and comply with the international ISO 1161:2016 standard. Thanks to their universal dimensions, they are widely applicable in container construction, offshore structures, trailers or mobile units.
Securing containers
The Corner Castings are suitable for building complete containers, performing repairs or integrating into custom-designed steel structures. Due to their standard dimensions, they are fully compatible with common twistlocks, such as the Dovetail BF-11 and the Intermediate IF-51. This allows containers or constructions to be safely secured on ships, pontoons or other surfaces.
Technical specifications and material
Each Corner Casting is manufactured from cast steel type SCW480 and tested to a breaking strength of 500 kN (approximately 50 tons). They are supplied with a primer layer that provides protection against corrosion. The primer does not need to be removed for welding, although local grinding may be desirable under high welding tension.
With a weight of approximately 11 kg per piece, the corner blocks offer a solid foundation for intensive use under heavy conditions.
Directly usable in technical design software
For engineers and designers, technical drawings are available in both PDF and STP format. This allows the corner blocks to be imported directly into 3D design software, which simplifies the design of custom constructions
