DNV Good and Bad Design of Padeyes
DNV Good and Bad Design of Padeyes
DNV Good and Bad Design of Padeyes
Fillet welded.
A poor
attempt at
converting
an ISO
container.
Padeyes slotted
through the
corner post
Accepted design
Depends on how it is
done:
padeye on container with
ISO-corner:
Vertical weld are to have full
penetration welding
weld to horizontal corner plate
may be fillet welds
Angle between padeye and
ISO-corner makes it difficult to
weld, requires proper weld
preparation
Skid protrudes
beyond
container
parameters.
Bad design
Door locking mechanism
and hinges unprotected
Other unacceptable
protrusions
Fork pockets have no
shear area above
Good design
Protruding parts on the outside of the container frame that may catch or
damage other containers or structures.
Deflector plates to prevent snagging shall be applied.
Bad design
Padeyes not in line
with slings
Holes for shackle
bolt too big
Are full penetration
welding used?
Cylinders protrudes
above frame
Snagging hazard
for slings in
cylinder
Tank is
supported on the
fork pockets.
RESULT?
It is cracking!
It corrodes!
It will soon be
falling apart!
Offshore
container with
folding crane on
roof, protected by
a rail (and by
tarpaulin during
transport)
Bad design
DNV required
that the rails
were removed
at the corner.
Knee bracket
shall be used
