A corner fitting for a freight container, comprising:
- a first major wall having a surface defining an opening through the first major wall;
- a second major wall spaced apart from and parallel with the first major wall;
- a first end wall perpendicular to and extending between the first major wall and the second major wall;
- a second end wall perpendicular to and extending between the first major wall and the second major wall, and spaced apart from and parallel with the first end wall;
- a first side wall perpendicular to and extending between the first major wall and the second major wall, and perpendicular to and extending between the first end wall and the second end wall, where the first side wall includes a surface defining an opening through the first side wall;
- a second side wall perpendicular to and extending between the first major wall and the second major wall, perpendicular to and extending between the first end wall and the second end wall and that is spaced apart from and parallel with the first side wall, where
- the first major wall, the second major wall, the first end wall, the second end wall, the first side wall and the second side wall define a volume that can receive a cone of a twistlock;
- a receiving block that extends away from both the first side wall and the second side wall, the receiving block having a socket that can receive a bolt;
- where the receiving block further includes a lower surface parallel with the second major wall and where a bolt extends from the lower surface of the receiving block;
- where the receiving block includes a bolt receiving surface parallel with the second side wall and perpendicular to the lower surface of the receiving block, the bolt receiving surface having a first bolt socket and a second bolt socket spaced apart from the first bolt socket, where the first bolt socket and the second bolt socket extend into the receiving block towards the second side wall;
- and
- where the receiving block further includes an angle support portion having a first end surface that forms a receiving block ledge with the lower surface and a corner post mounting leg that extends perpendicularly away from the second major wall of the corner fittings.
