Section 8 One door off operation

[8.1

Containers with one door removed have a significant reduction in their ability to withstand racking forces and, potentially, a reduction in stacking strength. The removal of a door on a container in operation is considered a modification of the container. Containers must be approved for one door off operation. Such approval shall be based on test results as set forth below.

8.2

On successful completion of the stacking test the container may be rated for the allowable superimposed stacking load, which shall be indicated on the Safety Approval Plate immediately below line 5: ALLOWABLE STACKING LOAD FOR 1.8 g (kg and lbs) ONE DOOR OFF.

8.3

On successful completion of the racking test the transverse racking test force shall be indicated on the Safety Approval Plate immediately below line 6: TRANSVERSE RACKING TEST FORCE ONE DOOR OFF (newtons).
TEST LOAD AND APPLIED FORCES
TEST PROCEDURES
Stacking
Internal load:
A uniformly distributed load such that the sum of the mass of container and test load is equal to 1.8R.
Externally applied forces:
Such as to subject each of the four top corner fittings to a vertical downward force equal to 0.25 x 1.8 x the gravitational force of the allowable superimposed static stacking load.
The test procedures shall be as set forth under 2 STACKING
Transverse racking
Internal load:
None.
Externally applied forces:
Such as to rack the end structures of the container sideways. The forces shall be equal to those for which the container was designed.
The test procedures shall be as set forth under 4 TRANSVERSE RACKING
