So,Ive been on containers in my new job,loving it,never touched a pump truck or a cage with broken wheels since I started and ■■■■ loads of money compared to m,y last job.
But theres one thing,some of the places I go ,in the night,there are residential houses and the containers are banging as they go over the bumps,it would annoy the hell out of me if I was living there,with the windows open in the heat as well.Do you think there should be some way of silencing these containers…
A ratchet…
Strap around the door handle and then onto the chassis will stop a lot of the noise.
Ah,ok,thanks,Ill try that

I dont have a lot of sympathy. A lot of these houses were built long after the factories/warehouses/employment areas were, so if you buy a home near one then you should expect the noise that comes with it.
you running on steel springs ?

If a box is empty I don`t think it would make much difference its not the trailer its the box,slightest bounce it will sound worse than it is.
Like its already been said,the premises have more than likely been there before the houses where built,it like “townies” moving into a farming area and complaining about tractor noise or the the smell.
No,its air at the back.The houses are victorian terraces and you have no choice but drive over drains and pot holes but some of the other places are new builds.But you can hear the banging even from quite some distance away
It’s the box banging on the skelly trailer as the trailer goes over the bumps in the road. Empty tipper bodies do it as well.
Empty bulk trailers are the same, its the body, or container in your case, bouncing against the chassis.
t’s also where the general public and the media get the expression…“Juggernauts THUNDERING through the village”

And ■■■■■■ the hell out of the illegals when they try and get out.
The 20’ boxes on a tandem skelly would often jump off the pins if you didn’t throw a strap over. It was easier with tanks as they had an access ladder so you could thread a strap through the top castings.
