Abstract (en)
A rear end connector is provided for connecting the standard rear bottom corner fittings on an ISO container to the rear end of a load transference flatrack (1). The connector consists of a hook-shaped extension member (15) demountably attached to the rear of the flatrack (1), having an upstanding spigot (17) locatable in the bottom corner fitting (6) of the container (5). The spigot is provided with a transverse keyhole (18) which aligns with a lashing aperture (10) in the corner fitting so as to permit insertion of a restraining key (20). Use of the rear end connector permits the addition of an upstanding "A" frame at the front end of the flatrack for self-loading of ISO containers. The "A" frame displaces the loaded container rearwards on the flatrack so that the container's rear corner fittings are out of phase with the standard corner fittings on the rear end of the flatrack.
