Container question (curiosity)

PPH:
Some of us can do both!!!

Look, he can do exclamation marks too.

He does condescending too :wink:
(that means talking down to people :smiling_imp: )

PPH:
And these people are let loose with 44tonne, :question: :question: :question: :question: :question: :question:

Simple question like the man said out of CURIOSITY,and your the one that gives a response like you have,why not give a sensible answer :question:?:?:?

Seen a programme on the telly a couple of weeks ago called ā€œHow it’s madeā€ and they were in a container building factory and they are in fact built like that for structural strength.

Yes because we are drivers and not structural engineers hence CURIOSITY rather than essential information :unamused:

Aww now you’ve gone and done it they will be a mandatory CPC course for that now :frowning: guess i’ll have to buy one of them fancy calculators :laughing:

But yeah as above there built like that so make them stronger and take weight of how many been stacked etc and since there meant to be intermodal it means there rigid enough to travel road, rail, ship
and able to take been dropped or harsh conditions
If I remember correct there built with a different steel as well to make them stronger ā€œcorten Steelā€

Towman:
Strength!

think about when they are stacked, the one on the bottom has some mega weight on it

hold a piece of paper on its side and push down on it, then fold ribs in it and try it!

When stacked the only contact they have with the above of below container thru the corner casting. as to why they have corigated sides I don’t know either

In stacking, yes. It isn’t the only punishment they endure though. Scrap metal & waste paper exports can be quite brutal. I’d agree it’s probably for strength but I don’t know for sure, go on PPH, take my license away. :unamused:

I spent 6 years welding containers up and the main reason for corrugated sides is strength but also aesthetics. When welding with flat sides the heat would cause the metal to bend and didn’t look good. Also the containers we made had to withstand 600 tonnes top weight which flat sides could not cope with for long they wound buckle after a couple of years use then the paint and rust proof would crack and would look rubbish. Hope this helps.

And your point is, other than demonstrating your remarkable skill with explanation marks.

I thought they were question marks :slight_smile:

And so they are. But what did you see in the posters question that questioned his ability to drive?

I think he could be a good driver,as long as he stays behind me :grimacing: :grimacing: :grimacing: :grimacing:

That is not a problem. I don’t want to be anywhere near someone who thinks they know it all. Arrogance and overconfidence cause crashes.

Although answering questions is seemingly beyond them :unamused:

PPH is quite right, if you put a skin on a container it adds weight, container companies will not be bothered by airflow, it’s just a box to them, where as a fridge has to have a uniform thickness to maintain the same temp, it’s not rocket science is it.
