#6208 Container Bridge Fitting is a specialized component used in the shipping industry to facilitate the secure stacking and handling of ISO standard shipping containers. Here’s an overview of its features and applications:

Specifications

Features of #6208 Container Bridge Fitting:

1. Purpose: The #6208 Container Bridge Fitting is designed to create a bridge or connector between two ISO containers stacked vertically. It acts as a secure linking device to stabilize and secure stacked containers during transportation or storage.
2. Design: Typically made from durable materials such as steel, the bridge fitting is engineered to withstand the weight and forces exerted during container handling operations. It features a robust construction to ensure reliability and safety.
3. Compatibility: Designed to be compatible with ISO standard containers, which have standardized corner fittings (twist lock fittings). This compatibility allows for seamless integration with other container handling equipment and ensures uniformity across the shipping industry.
4. Installation: The bridge fitting is installed at the corners of the lower and upper containers in a stacked configuration. It securely locks into the corner fittings of both containers, providing a stable connection that prevents lateral movement and ensures the stack remains intact.
5. Functionality: By linking two containers together, the bridge fitting enhances stability and load-bearing capacity of the stack. This is particularly important during maritime transport where containers may be subjected to rough seas and vessel movements.
6. Safety: Provides a secure method for stacking containers vertically, reducing the risk of container collapse or shifting. This enhances safety during container handling operations and minimizes the potential for accidents or cargo damage.

Applications:

• Container Ships: Used extensively on container ships to stack containers vertically on deck or in the cargo holds. The bridge fittings ensure secure stacking arrangements that comply with safety regulations and optimize cargo capacity.
• Container Yards and Terminals: Essential for stacking containers in storage yards or terminals, where space optimization and efficient handling are key considerations.
• Intermodal Transportation: Facilitates the safe and secure stacking of containers on railcars or trucks for inland transportation, ensuring containers remain stable during transit.
• Temporary Storage and Warehousing: Used in temporary storage facilities where containers need to be stacked vertically to maximize storage space.
