It seems to me from some quick calculations that it would reduce the overall weight of the road platform, the combined container and chassis, but not the container itself. However, the gain for the container would be on the order of a few hundred pounds. <br />Think about the current mismatch in domestic containers. The fifth wheel tunnel cuts into the floor framing above the tractor's tandem wheels, the stacking posts cut the top and bottom rails, which act as chords for the box beam which is the container body, forcing the rails to be spliced on either side of the stacking post with a lot of fasteners. There is a reason why the original 40' ISO containers had the stacking posts placed at the ends of the box. By far such an arrangement is so much more efficient.
