KMC~ID OF' TWT

1. DetermJn&tirn of Characteristics

I a. W ht and Cube

I The container was weighed and all pertinent dimennion taken to

asce-tain the shipping and cargo cube of tte container when fully as-

sembled, as well as the shipping cube when the container is knockdown.

b. Tim required for Assembly and Disassembl

I T1e container was assembled and disassembled by two ren using

9/16" box wrenchl-cs. 'Ie assembly time inc1 uded the unbolting of the

roof from the lower side panels and coVlete erection of the unit.

T Similarly, the disassembly time inclkx~ed the co-lete dismantling of

the unit, placing the upper side panels into the lower section, and

* bolting the roof on the lower side panels.

3. Load Test

The container was loaded to its rated capacity of 1800 ]bs. with a

well balanced load so that shifting was held to a mini=26 The deflection

in the floor section was then detenrind.,

4. Handling Test

a. The loaded container was lifted with a &YX lb. fork truck and

transported approxdmately 50 feet, Ease of entry of L'?• into ooenings

in skids was noted.

b. Two -4re slings were placed arir tne floor of the container ad-

jacent to the skids. The loaded -,--t was then lifted by a crane. Re-

sistarnce of the bottom, edges of the container to crushing was noted.

c. The conta>rr was placed on 6" vood ro'llers. The test unit was

r-oved apProximrte1y ýj ft. mn -hese r•'"ers. Particular attention was

Daid to tUe deflection of the skids at the fork truck openings.

*a~zLeg this conta!Ler to strike the pavement with a fall o 18". This

I opraition was rapeated by placing the block under each of the four cor-

z r ~cessivoly, and then repeated again using 4 h" x 41 x 24* block.

iAt the oonciusin of the test the floor was examined for further deflection.

II 6. Stoveorinw Test

a. Thiim test was debignod to determine the suitability of the con-

talner for stevedoring operations. It was exposed to simulated condi-

tionG *wich might be encouztered due to faulty cargo handling equipwnt,

improper operation b;• personnel, or unavoidable circumstances when teing

'loaded on or unloaded from cargo ships. The test was divided into three

parts.

(1) Sub Test - The loaded container was lifted approzxi-

mataly 25 ft. above the ground by a crane equipped with wire Plings.

Thet b'ake of the crane was released and the container lowered at full

i sped until it reached a point. approximately 5 feet above ground. At

thlat ti:ne, the brake was -Applied suddenly and the load brough -to z

quick halt. This test was repeated twice.

(2) E Test - The loaded container was lifted by a

crane equipped with slings to a print 18 " above the ground. The br',vg

* of the cr•ae was released and the test unit dropped freely with the skids

Page 12: NlO. No. 2. Aluinum 19S2 Houehld Effect Shippng Containe · , tue test unit was held by a crane approx-Jmateky one foot abo-e the ground next to a substantially solid vall, The container

striking the concrete pavement squarely. ThICs operation was repeated a

ieccnd time with the container falling freely from a point 24" above the

ground.

(3) 2 Test - To simulate a container striking the ship'i

side during hoisting and loading operatior. , tue test unit was held by a

crane approx-Jmateky one foot abo-e the ground next to a substantially

solid vall, The container was pulled away fxvm the wall a distance of

npprorimately 10 feet with a cable attached to a fork track and eq7,Appd

with a quick release mechaisdm The release aichanisbi was activated and

the container was allowed to strike the wall squarely on a sido panel.

The operrMJon was repmated and the container so held that it struck the

wall squkrely at a corner.

At the conclusicn of these tests, the container was ermined for

f'loor dffleztion and other damage. It was dismantled to determine ease

of disassembly.

A -L25% o7er~lad was adde6., making a total load of 4hOQ lbs, in

the Ist 'nnt, and tests No. 3 tbiough 6 inclunive were rmpeated. At

tha conclusion df the second serizs of testas, the corntainer was ri-

examined and -gain disassembled and assembled.

MWMY ýF TEST WULTS

1. A and Disassembly

Initial assembly of the Coll-psible Aluminum Household Effects

Container disclosed that fti're ••lt holes did not line up. These holes

10

Page 13: NlO. No. 2. Aluinum 19S2 Houehld Effect Shippng Containe · , tue test unit was held by a crane approx-Jmateky one foot abo-e the ground next to a substantially solid vall, The container

lere enlarged in order that the container could be fully assembled.

Bolting the upper and lower side panels together was awkward and time

cons1x.ng due to the mall clearance around the bolt heads. These

bolts are located between the aluminum corrugations and it is necessary

to use 9/16" box wrenches to effectively turn them. Even then, the

bolts can only be turned less than 90 degress at one time.

2. Weather uesistance

The weatber resistance test disclosed that a small amount of wter

seeped in between the horizontal angles connecting the upper and lower

side panels. This condition is undesirable if the loaded contaLler is

to be exposed to the e)ements for any practical lengh! of tim.

3. Load Test

There was no appreciable deflection in the f'loor of the container

when it was loaded, as rated, with 1.800 lbs. When the load was in-

creased to 4000 lbs., the mnaximum deflection in the floor was approxi-

mately 1/' 4". This deflection is not excessive and the aluminum corru-

gations were not stressed beyond their elastic limit.

4. Handli

The lifting lugs, or sling hooks for this container consist of four

1" eye bolts with 3/8" shanks bolted to thefloor framing sections. They

Page 14: NlO. No. 2. Aluinum 19S2 Houehld Effect Shippng Containe · , tue test unit was held by a crane approx-Jmateky one foot abo-e the ground next to a substantially solid vall, The container

could not be tested since one was torn off the container during transit

frcm the west coast and another so weakened that it snapped when a

slight force was applied to it. In lieu of the lifting lugs, two vire

slings were placed under the container, parallel and adjacent to the

skids, and the unit was then lifted ty a crane. In addition to being

lifted by a crane, the Handling Test indicated the loaded unit can be

readily handled by a fork track or moved a short distance as into the

wings of a ship by wooden rollers.

5. R~o2 and Steve doring

The container when loaded either with 1800 Ibs. or 4000 Ibs. with-

stocd the Edge Drop Test and Stevedoring Tests in an excellent manzer.

Th" unit was slightly damaged during these tests. The damage consisted

of minor deformation of corrugations, bending of roof corner, etc., and

did not impair the further utilization of the container.

At the conclusion of the tests the container was discAwsembled, un-

loaded, inepected, and reassembled again wIt~hout too wuch difficulty.

Only one bolt could not be replaced.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMENDATIONS

The tests to which the container was subjected indicate that it is

structurally sound. The manufacturer's rated load of 1800 lbs. equals

12

Page 15: NlO. No. 2. Aluinum 19S2 Houehld Effect Shippng Containe · , tue test unit was held by a crane approx-Jmateky one foot abo-e the ground next to a substantially solid vall, The container

approximately 7.5 Tbe, per cubic foot. This is a low capcity rating.

Since the container is structurally sound and successfully withstood the

took& with a 4000 1,,. I , it is recommended that the rated capacity of

this coitainer be increased to 15 lbs. per cubic foot or 3700 lbs.

MI Thw eye bolt "sling hooks" are inadequate for lifting the container

with a crane and should not be azed for that purpose. Instead two wire

I slings should be placed under the container parallel and adjacent to the

skids when the unit is to be lifted with a crane. The present sling

hooks might be used to secure the unit to-thedck of a truck, railway

car or ship

No means are ptovided in the interior of the container to fasten

household articles to the floor or sides. It is recommended that eitheske

bars be welded to the interior corrugations of the side panels or some

other means be provided to secure household articles within the container.

This will require that one side panel. be designated and so stenciled that

it be the last panel bolted to the loaded container and the first panel

unbolted when the container is to be unloaded.

If it is anticipated that the containers will be exposed to the

Selements for appreciable lengths of time, it is reco•mended that z

Sthin gasket be secured to the 'ower framing angle of the upper side

panels. This will provide a tight horizontal joint between side panels,

Iand eliminate water frm entering along that joint. If, how-ver, tht-

anticipated usage of the container is suo1 that it wila seldom be ex-

posed to the elements, the mesther resistance, as presently constructed,

is sufficient.

The roof design of the container is 3uch -hat i+ precludas tiering

of the containers, one on another, or placing of h avy leads on the roof.

The .O649 sheet under the bottom between the skids was considered

necessary for protection against scuffuing. Several pictures were

furnished by uaing facilities showing gouging and 6cuffing from

forks. It vas noted in the laboratoiry test container that fifteen

rivets in the bottom had failed around the corners. This occurred

because the I beam skids were cut 12 inchee too short on each end,

and therefore did not vapport the Z bem4 fraie around the bottom.

Thiý was a deviation from the draring, which called for the skids

to be brought oAt right t0) the eie of the container and therefore

suppolting the Z beam and the entire 1anel load.

fact that the bolting was not as originally specified,, 3/8" -

The heavier roof sheet and the extra roof corrugation were uoL-

sidered desirable for increased durability, should the carrier

at~tert to use the cube abuvs the container.

After the initial assembly by Oakland and Seattle., we have no

further reports on asembly and disassembly, mad conclude the

containers were not shipped collapsed.
