The container front panel is a crucial and indispensable component, playing a pivotal role in ensuring the safety, security, and efficient operation of intermodal containers. Acting as the primary barrier at the front end, it bears the brunt of external forces during transportation, storage, and handling, while also providing essential support for the overall container structure and protecting the cargo within from various environmental and mechanical hazards.
1.The front panel is usually composed of two corrugated steel plates spliced by automatic welding to form a complete planar structure.
3.Dimensions: The size of the front panel of a standard 20ft container is 2.0mm × 1024mm × 2400mm , while 40ft container is 2.0mm × 1024mm ×2700mm.The thickness of the standard container front plate is 2.0mm.
4. Surface Treatment: Sanding and Spray Painting.
Structural:
corrugated plate design: Enhance compressive strength and prevent deformation (wave height is usually 36mm, wave distance 208mm).
Reinforcing ribs: The front plates of some containers are internally welded with square steel or channel steel to enhance the overall strength.
Connection with corner columns: Ensure structural stability by welding or bolt fixation.
Key functional:
Structural support: Jointly bears the stacking load with corner columns and top plates (usually needs to withstand a longitudinal pressure of 192,000N).
Windproof and rainproof: Ensure the sealing of the box to prevent rainwater and dust from entering.
Protect the goods: Prevent the goods from hitting the front end of the box during transportation.
