Are sections allowed on the inner profiles of front corner posts?

The inner profiles of front corner posts in dry vans are not permitted to have sections. This design criterion is essential for maintaining the structural integrity and overall strength of the container. The corner posts are critical components that contribute to the load-bearing capacity and durability of the van, particularly during transport when containers are stacked and subjected to various stressors.

Having continuous, unsectioned corner posts ensures that they can adequately support both the container's weight and dynamic loads that occur during shipping and handling. Introducing sections could create weak points where failure could occur, affecting the safety and reliability of the van.

Therefore, it is important that the inner profiles of front corner posts remain free of sections to uphold the necessary standards and regulations that govern dry van construction.
