Material and Construction of Shipping Containers – Corten Steel
What is Corten Steel and Why is it Key in Containers?
- Corten (weathering steel) is a highly alloyed steel with additions of copper, chromium, nickel, and phosphorus.
- When exposed to weather, it creates a characteristic tight layer of surface rust (“patina”) that protects the steel from deeper corrosion.
- Advantages of Corten steel for containers:
- Exceptional lifespan (decades in extreme environments).
- Minimal need for maintenance and coatings.
- High strength, weldability, and resistance to mechanical damage.
- Lower risk of corrosion penetrating to the load-bearing structure of the container.
- Ecological sustainability – possibility of recycling and lower material consumption due to high strength.
- Use of Corten steel: not only containers, but also railway cars, bridges, towers, maritime equipment, architectural and design structures.
Structural Elements of Container (According to ISO 1496, CSC)
| Element | Material/Description |
|---|---|
| Frame | High-strength steel profiles (mostly Corten) |
| Corner Fittings | Standardized corner castings – for handling, stacking, and securing with twist-locks |
| Walls | Corrugated sheets of Corten steel (increased rigidity, protection against deformation) |
| Floor | 28mm marine plywood, impregnated against moisture and pests, load capacity for forklifts |
| Doors | Double-leaf, full-surface, multiple locking, seals, protection against water ingress and theft |
Certification and Safety – CSC Plate
What is CSC Certification?
- CSC (Convention for Safe Containers): International convention by IMO from 1972 for container safety in transport.
- Main purpose: Ensuring a uniform level of structural safety, eliminating risk during handling and transport across countries and transport modes.
- Certification process includes:
- Inspection of design documentation, manufacturing process, personnel qualifications (especially welders).
- Prototype testing for strength, tightness, acceptance of ISO dimensions, and corner fittings.
- Regular inspections during series production.
- Issuance of CSC plate (Safety Approval Plate): permanently attached to the container, containing main identification and safety data.
- Validity and renewal: The plate is time-limited, requires regular inspections and confirmation of technical condition (so-called periodic/continuing inspection – PES/ACEP).
- Without CSC certification: Container cannot be legally used for international transport; risk of cargo detention and fines.
Important Safety Standards and Requirements
| Requirement | Description |
|---|---|
| Structural Strength | Load during stacking, handling by cranes, vibration, impact loads |
| Tightness | Resistance to water, dust, and pest ingress |
| Identification | Unique serial number, manufacturer, year of manufacture, dimensions – all on CSC plate |
| Regular Inspections | Minimum every 30 months or according to usage regime, including records of condition and repairs |
Innovative ConFoot System – Mobile Support Legs

Technical Parameters (According to Official Manual):
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Maximum Load Capacity | 20,000 kg (4 legs, each 5,000 kg) |
| Own Weight | 46 kg (all parts, max. 25 kg/piece) |
| Intended for Containers | ISO 10’–45′, max. 20 t |
| Lifting Height | From ground to approx. 1.5 m, height adjustable |
| Usage Limits | Max. 2° slope, max. wind 12 m/s, 16,000 cycles over lifespan |
| Operating Temperatures | –20 to +40 °C |
| Safety | Requires operation by trained personnel, regular inspection |
Principle of Use

- Using a manual jack (bottle jack), the container is lifted from the trailer/truck.
- The trailer departs, the container remains safely on the legs – without need for a crane.
- Reverse procedure for loading back.
