DESCRIPTION:Shipping containers are a backbone of our civilization\, being
involved with 90 percent of all the products that circulate around the glo
be today. The 20-foot equivalent unit (TEU) contributed a significant cost
reduction in the handling of goods by introducing intermodality for freig
ht transport. More precisely speaking\, ISO 1161 shipping container corner
s are the hidden building block within a container which "allows for crane
s and other lifting and carrying equipment to attach themselves to and mov
e each element of a load in a uniform way" (Fuller 2005).
An ISO co
ntainer corner has three holes. However\, when a container is locked on a
truck\, a vessel\, or in between other containers\, a single so-called twi
stlock is attached to either the bottom/top or a side hole. In other words
\, only one twistlock is used per corner and there are never two twistlock
s applied to the same corner simultaneously. By breaking this taboo\, a sh
ipping container can effectively be transformed into a barrel\, allowing o
ne person to move it\, completely manually.
The system consists of
three different components: "lifting spindles" to lift a container up by 2
00mm\, "custom-made steel wheels" that can securely be locked into ISO con
tainer corners\, and "a vehicle salvaging inflatable bag" with a manual pu
mp.
In this presentation\, Yoshinari explains in what process and s
upporting environment he managed to pull off the container rolling project
- without having any engineering background.
