Knock Down Container
Definition: What is a Knock Down Container?
A container with their walls made of composite panels that can be used as exterior sheathing in building construction at the point of destination of the shipped goods is known as a knock down container.
They are assembled using a number of bolts and its four upright corner posts form a pair of steel angle brackets. The inner bracket consists of a number of threaded studs that extend through the walls of the container. The outer brackets use tamper-resistant nuts threaded onto the studs. These then connect the inner and outer brackets so that the side walls can be attached together at the upright corners.
On reaching its destination, it is possible to disassemble these containers. The recipient of the shipment then returns the outer brackets of the corner posts to the shipper for reuse. The recipient then can use panels that form the container walls as building materials. This eliminates the need for return shipment or storage of an empty container.
Knock down containers are extremely versatile and have great utility in shipping and warehousing applications.
