Freight Container Lifting Standard

摘要

This standard establishes the methods of lifting and handling freight containers (CONEX boxes) including the allowable lifting configurations, procedures, inspection and rigging requirements outside of maritime use. In order to safely lift any conex box, the type of conex box and proper rigging configuration must be determined prior to performing the lift evolution. Section 3.0 provides conex box measurements for the various types of boxes. Once the type of conex box is determined the lift configuration can be determined based on the load in the conex box. The type of conex box and the load of the conex box are used to determine the type of rigging configuration required to perform the lift. The maritime industry handling of the containers conforms to OSHA 29 CFR 1918, Safety and Health Regulations for Longshoring requirements.
