Test and Evaluation of Cleated Corrugated Plastic Containers.

Abstract

Testing and evaluation was conducted of a new concept for substituting a corrugated plastic material for plywood in containers otherwise constructed in accordance with Federal Specification PPP-B-601. The purpose of the new cleated plastic container concept was to provide a cost-effective Level A shipping container to replace/upgrade Level B shipping containers instead of present practice of replacing with heavier cleated plywood containers. With slight modification, the new container's performance exceeded all expectations by fulfilling the primary purpose as well as exhibiting capabilities for replacing cleated plywood containers from which they were patterned.
