LEGACY PAGE : I HAVE WITHDRAWN THE PARAMETRIC MODELS BUT HAVE LEFT THE PAGE TO RETAIN DOWNLOAD & "LIKE" DATA

THIS MODEL SUPERCEDES PREVIOUS POSTED MODEL OF ISO 1161 CORNER BLOCKS

Due to small dimensional inaccuracies of previous model generated from a non-compliant ISO 1161 Block drawing ( https://grabcad.com/library/container-iso-dual-corner-block-1 ), I have gone back and compiled from scratch a new set of models based on a DNV dimensional drawing (Rules for Certification of Freight Containers 1981, Appendix 4.1- Top Blocks, Appendix 4.2-Bottom Blocks) for the ISO 1161 corner blocks used in this new Solidworks Assembly. The set consists of 5 Solidworks files. 1st part is a framework sketch to hang the blocks on which has various container size configurations. The 2nd part is the Bottom Right Block which is used to create a mirrored part for the Bottom Left block (3rd Part). The model uses 2 of each of these parts to create the base. The top blocks (Parts 4 and 5) like the base blocks are mirrored from each other (Top Right Block mirrored to create Top Left Block) and require 2 of each. The Top Blocks have additional configurations. Default block is the standard ISO 1161 type with additional sub-configurations for the various sized padeye extension blocks.
Be aware that there are many manufacturers of these blocks which may differ in materials used, capacities, slight dimensional variances. Provided is a generic block within tolerance and up to the user to confirm that they conform to their existing or available units. I use this Model assembly for layout purposes or creating visual models. They should not be used as a definitive model for as built purposes unless measurements are confirmed to existing or supplied items.
Included in this update are revisions and expanded configurations for general range of ISO 668 containers. Now added are the following configurations & container size range:
ISO 668 Container - 1A (8x40 Ft (LxW)) x Height :1A : 8’ / 1AA : 8- ½’ / 1AAA : 9- ½’
ISO 668 Container – 1B (8x30 Ft (LxW)) x Height :1B : 8’ / 1BB : 8- ½’ / 1BBB : 9- ½’
ISO 668 Container – 1C (8x20 Ft (LxW)) x Height :1C : 8’ / 1CC : 8- ½’ / 1CCC : 9- ½’
ISO 668 Container – 1D (8x10 Ft (LxW)) x Height :1D : 8’ / 1DD : 8- ½’ / 1DDD : 9- ½’
ISO 668 Container – 1E (8x45 Ft (LxW)) x Height :1AA : 8- ½’ / 1AAA : 9- ½’

Additional sub-configurations are included for the DUO ISO 1161 Blocks with Padeye extension for the 8 x 10’ , 8 x 20’ and 8 x 30’ container lengths. (D-C-B range). I have changed the padeye design in line with other observed existing padeye types. The details for sizing of the padeyes are based on a freely downloaded pdf file for Assymmetrical padeyes (www.engineeringspreadsheets.co.uk ). The determined padeye capacity is based on a general container size weight ratio with 2 of the 4 padeyes able to safely support weight. Usual construction practice includes gusset plates extending from long end of padeye block to upright legs on outer side faces.

8x10’ container (1D range) pad eye : 6.5 tonne SWL with 28mm hole per each (x4)
8x20’ container (1C range) pad eye : 8.5 tonne SWL with 31mm hole per each (x4)
8x30’ container (1B range) pad eye : 9.5 tonne SWL with 34mm hole per each (x4)

Additional framework sketch for padeye blocks gives a general indication of sling length sizing for 30°-45°-60° angular inclinations for constructing a 4 legged sling for the container range. This will help in determining crane hook height clearance as well as height access for cranes. For determining an actual required sling construction & configuration which would account for lift weight and other parameters, there is a freely distributed MS excel workbook file (SLINGPRO Vn 5-1:2017 / www.engineeringspreadsheets.co.uk ) that specifies rigging arrangement & sizes to meet the various standards ( EN 13414 (2008), DNV 2.7-1 (2003), DNV-OS-H205 (2014), EN 818 [chain] (2008)). Presently I use this file to assist with compiling sling specifications for various offshore equipment rigging projects. Presently in the process of building a Rigging Library with various components as well as easily configured soft & wire rope slings for expeditiously creating rigging plans, procedures and project lifting equipment inventories.
