QUOTE: Originally posted by virgilpaynemsu Well, since we are talking about domestic containers only those operating in North America would be affected. Additionally, there is a way to transition outlined above without requiring all or even most equipment to be outfitted with revised stacking posts as the container itself can fit on any ISO stacking post container when it is top stacked. Yes, the sliding tandem rail and wheels would need to be supplied but up to three of these could be repositioned in a container which is a positive advantage over the current chassis. My point is that there is a move away from the standard ISO stacking points already afoot. What I don't understand is why a more logical move was not made. Unfortunately or fortunately, I do not work for any of the container groups I am just a practicing Structural Engineer.

Can a 53' Container be shipped internationally or is this an absurd advertisement that will not be seen outside of North America?? Andrew F. It definitely will not leave North America, but it only has to leave Canada to be an International movement. The only way it will be seen outside North America is as a photograph in an advertisement.

QUOTE: Originally posted by virgilpaynemsu I suppose you do realize that 53' long x 102" wide containers already exist which do not fit on container ships. My questions strikes to the North American domestic market where quite a bit of pressure has been applied to get a truck like container.
