5.2 Floor slats
1. Determine length of floor slats.
The slats have to reach from 50mm [2”] from the doors to a minimum of 300mm
[12”] from the closest point on the front wall at floor level. This implies that the
maximum length of the slats is 350mm [13 3/4”] shorter than the inner length of
the container. For example, maximum slat length for a 150mm [6”] stroke unit in a
12.04M [39’ 6”] container is 11.69M [38’ 4”].
WARNING:
Make sure that the slats do not bump the front wall.
2. Determine drilled floor bolt hole location.
Make sure the cylinders are all the way to the rear of the container when determining the
floor bolt hole location.
The flooring is to be predrilled before installation. Measure the distance from 50mm
inside the door to the first set of holes in the drive shoes. Use this distance to set the
shoe drill jig at the first hole.
(Note: If multiple containers are being outfitted, it is beneficial to place the drive units at
the same distance from the rear of the container. Then all of the flooring will be drilled in
the same location.)
