Abstract

To enable small or medium-size containers to be directly secured to locking members existing on vehicle loading areas for ISO containers and to be placed in ISO containers or ISO container frames, only one (23) of two fittings (23, 27) provided at opposite container ends is rigidly mounted whereas the other (27) is foldable between an operative position in which it projects beyond the outer dimension of the container, and a rest position in which it is inside the outer container dimension.
