Description

The corner post is the vertical structural column at each corner of the container, forming the primary load path between the top and bottom corner castings and carrying the container's stacking and racking loads. It's also one of the most common forklift and handling damage points. Twistlock Africa supplies rear corner posts as separate outer and inner sections, in both GP and HC heights.
