Hello, I need to calculate the load test for a custom work I will do for a "cab and chassis" truck. Need to see if it is possible to set a 20ft shipping container directly onto a truck's chassis (truck I will be using example of truck [login to view URL]) Normally, a shipping container when transported is set on something like this: [login to view URL] [login to view URL] Being that my truck already has a chassis in the back available to use I wanted to weld a total of four - 6 inch x 6 inch steel tubes (wall thickness to be determined) 2 in the front, along with 2 of those in the back to cover the 4 corners. The steel tubes would be welded to the outside of the frame rails, frame rails are 10 inches in height. My concern is that the steel tubes will protrude beyond a point where it will be too weak to support the weight (total weight of loaded shipping container 12k lbs +-) Steel tube will need to protrude about 26 inches and for next 4 inches will weld and use this: [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] Can speak more in detail after project is awarded. Will provide you with all exact measurements then

Hi, I can check this via basic stress calculations. I think the critical point would be at the welds, because the joints will likely fail first due to stress concentration before your frames would yield. You would also need to consider fatigue, as your frame will experience cyclic loading when used to transport the container. To ensure a safe design we’ll need to consider adding a factor of safety to the frame such that it will be able to withstand fatigue failure. Do you have a standard that you normally work with for this kind of application? They might have guidelines on the size and type of the welds suitable for moving heavy loads. I can also offer you 3D modelling and FEA analysis if you want more details. But this will be additional to the price in this bid. I’m happy to discuss if you have any questions. Regards, Kenny
