Abstract

A shipping container includes: a bottom plate onto which cargo is to be placed, columns vertically extending from the bottom plate, and top plates detachably supported by the columns. Since the top plates are detachable from the columns, it is possible to smoothly load long objects into the shipping container from above the container, by removing the top plates in advance. When the loading is completed, the top plates are attached back to the columns again to reinforce the columns, thereby ensuring the strength of the shipping container as a whole. A plurality of these shipping containers can therefore be stacked one on another in a container ship, in the same manner as ordinary shipping containers.

Abstract

[Problem] To carry long objects such as lumber into a container efficiently and safely. [Solution] A container is configured so as to be provided with a bottom plate (10) on which a load (C) is mounted, column parts (20) erected on the bottom plate (10), and a top plate (30) detachably supported by the column parts (20). Because the top plate (30) is detachable from the column parts (20), removing the top plate (30) makes it possible to smoothly load long objects from the top of the container. When loading is completed, the top plate (30) is reinstalled, whereby the column parts (20) are reinforced and the strength of the container can be ensured. A plurality of containers can therefore be loaded on a container ship in a stacked state, in the same manner as normal containers.
