Abstract
Steel coil carrying intermodal shipping containers have strong bases with I beams supporting decks and paired opposite coil supports. Each support has trusses, formed of inward supporting beams, outward sloping outer legs, links between them and short inner legs extending through the deck and anchored to longitudinal I beams. Three dimensional covers have corner posts, sides, ends, tops and open bottoms with edges that seal to edges of the deck. The covers lift from the bases for loading and unloading steel coils.
