Typical applications

Replacing a corroded or impact-damaged door sill on a 20ft/40ft GP container; new-build door-end fabrication.

Description

The door sill is the lower cross member at the container door opening — it supports the door hinges and carries repeated forklift and foot traffic at the threshold, making it one of the more common wear points on an older container. Twistlock Africa's replacement is profiled to OEM geometry in heavy-gauge (4.5 mm) corten steel, restoring the load path between the bottom side rails across the door opening.
