Damage Protection Container Component (or DP-Component) has been designed to prevent and eliminate the frequent incidence of damage to the front and rear bottom rails (sills) near the corner castings, of intermodal freight containers.
[edit] Overview
The DP-Component was invented in 1989 by the Belgian Intermodal Transport Equipment Maintenance and Repair Cost-Cutting Consultant-Surveyor Ben JH Van Melle.
The DP-Component is made of cast steel (DIN1681), weldable, brittle fracture resistant, deformation free and rust and corrosion free. It is to be used either to replace damaged rails or to be fitted to newbuildings. Major advantages upon installation of DP-components; reduced repair cost for container owners (shipping lines and leasing companies) and reduced downtime of the container.
