Open tops
Technical criteria to be applied to open top containers are the same as any other Florens'
equipment, i.e. prevailing IICL standard and Florens' depot procedure. Components
requiring special attention are:
Roof bows:
Roof bows that are cut, broken or do not fit properly should be repaired or replaced.
As dictated by IICL standard, the replacement bow material has to be "like for like" or
of higher quality. The surface of the roof bow should be smooth, snag free and without
rough drip lines. The dimensions (camber/bow) must conform to ISO standards and allow
for proper water drainage. Florens' typical specification for roof bow is:
Material: STKR41 H.D.G (75 microns)
Size: 34mmx3.0mm
Different profile
Repair is not required
Example: Replaced roof bow is of different geometry. It does not have rough
drip lines or jagged edges.
Action: Roof bow should not be replaced or repaired. This is an
acceptable repair.
Florens Container
Services
Guidelines
Web Publication
September 2006
Open tops
Sharp profile
Repair is required
Example: Roof bow with jagged edges will tear the tarpaulin or cause
pinholes.
Action: This is an unacceptable repair. Roof bow should be replaced.
Replacement should be on lessee's account.
Grommets/eyelets:
Any missing, damaged, loose or misaligned grommet should be repaired/replaced when it
impairs the tarpaulin to secure properly or it hinders from being weather proof. Surface rust
on the eyelets does not warrant repairs.
The replacement grommets should have a minimum specification of:
Material: SS41 H.D.G (40 microns)
Size: circular, inside 40mm, overall
60mm
Note: Florens accepts brass, zinc and hard plastic eyelets at the regular cost of
carbon steel grommets.

Cuts on the plastic cover are acceptable provided the galvanized steel strands are not cut or
fraying. Cables not having proper length must be replaced for the lessee's account.
In addition, missing or damaged "metal end piece"/securing points should be repaired for
the lessee's account. Specifications for the replacement cord are:
6mm - 8mm, one piece steel cable with provisions for TIR seals covered
with clear PVC sheathing

Rear Header:
As a movable part, the rear header should be in good working order and not interfere with
door operations. Header and pins should be lubricated during normal repair process at no
charge to Florens. At on-hire, as with any other equipment, rear header should be inspected
and an operational test performed to make sure that the header swings freely.

Tarpaulin:
Repair estimates on tarpaulins should be in accordance with TIR standards.
A) At off-hire, when a tarp is missing or is not installed or partially installed on the
open top, depots should note this on the interchange and the estimate. Depots should
also obtain confirming signature from the delivering carrier. In addition, weathering
damage on the floor should be noted. Protect the floor by stacking another container on top.
B) Following is the minimum specification for the replacement tarp:
Weight: 18oz/500gms/sq.m
Color: blue/BS445
Material: polyester, PVC coated
Grommets: carbon steel, galvanized to 40 microns.
(bras, zinc and hard plastic grommets are acceptable)
Reinforcement at roof bow: none
Reinforcement at side rails: none
Markings: none
Note: Florens depots must replace tarp according to Florens' specifications. Different tarp
color is acceptable only if all other specifications are met and Florens' customer makes
the replacement during lease.
Florens Container

Open tops
Replacement cost allocation: When it is more economical to replace the tarpaulin
than to repair, depots must replace tarpaulin.
Florens does not advocate lease period or age as factors to allocate repair costs between
damage and normal wear and tear. Allocation for tarpaulin replacement that has damage
and normal wear and tear above the economic value of the repair must comply with the
following steps. The cost should include labor + material.
1) Calculate total cost of repair (damage plus normal wear and tear. Include labor and material),
for example, the total cost = $1000.
2) Calculate the percentage of damage cost. For example, the damage cost = $900, or
900/1000 = 90%
3) Calculate the percentage of NWT cost.
For example, the NWT cost = $100, or 100/1000 = 10%
Apply each individual percentage to allocate the replacement cost of the tarpaulin.
For the above example, to replace a 40' tarpaulin at $400, the lessee allocation
should be $360, and NWT allocation should be $40.
Tarpaulin replacement versus repair: When the repair cost of the tarpaulin is 90% of
the replacement cost, the tarpaulin should be replaced and not repaired. The additional cost
of replacement should be allocated as NWT to Florens' account. The additional cost should
be noted as a separate line item on the estimate.

Pinholes: Pinholes that are less than 5 mm (.20) in diameter can be repaired by using
one component polyurethane caulk (Sikaflex) or "donut" patches. Pinholes that are between
5 mm (.20) and 10 mm (.40), must be repaired with a donut patch or a standard patch.
In addition, no more than 4 pinhole repairs using caulking or "donut" within a 4"(10 CM)
diameter is allowed, otherwise a standard patch must be applied.
Cuts and holes greater than 10 mm (.40): Cuts and holes that are greater than
10 mm (.40) require a standard patch which should overlap by at least 15 mm (6) from
all the edges of the damage being repaired.
Patches greater than 100mm (4.0) X 100 mm (4.0): Patches greater than
100mm (4.0) X 100 mm (4.0) must have TIR tape applied to the perimeter of the patch.
Existing intact patch without TIR tape is an acceptable repair during off-hire
inspection - no rectification is required.
Caulked Repair
Repair is not required
Example: Caulked tarpaulin repair.
Action: No repair is required.
Note: Pinhole measuring less than 5 mm in diameter can be repaired
using one component polyurethane caulk.
Note: All repairs are permitted within an existing patch that is properly fitting to
the original tarpaulin. However, Florens does not recommend repair methods that
overlap over the seams of the pre-existing patch.

Compressor must exhibit approximately 75% surface rust/corrosion before abrasive cleaning
and painting repair is done on it. Please refer to the Florens Technical and Operations Manual, section 8 pages 4 and 5 for guidance in selecting a candidate for this type of repair.
Preferred method of cleaning is to use the needle gun to abrasive clean the
surface rust and flaking paint. Other mechanical method of cleaning, such as
wire brushing is acceptable as long as the surface rust is removed properly.
DO NOT REMOVE THE COMPRESSOR FROM THE UNIT. Clean
and paint as much of the surface area as possible without removing the compressor.

Panels
For interior stainless steel panels depots are required to repair (patch) using stainless steel
rivets. Welded patches will be accepted at termination, provided that the Florens general
condition of accepting improper repairs is meet.
For exterior stainless steel panels, depots are required to repair (patch) using welded patches.
Riveted patches will be accepted at termination, provided that Florens general condition of
accepting improper repairs is met and the repair is not located on the roof.
Roof patches must be welded.
Note: Aluminum patches are not permitted on Stainless Steel Cladding and visa-versa.
Depots must differentiate when estimating patches that require foaming and those
that do not.
Bare aluminum or stainless steel patches affixed to pre-painted white aluminum
cladding are to be estimated for painting.
Patches that are smaller than the minimum required size will be accepted at termination,
provided that Florens general condition of accepting improper repairs is met. The patch must
be watertight and able to accommodate a minimum of 4 fasteners.
(Depots are required to use patches with a minimum dimension of 6X6).
The rivet pattern on patch repairs requires a minimum distance between rivets of 2(50mm)
on center. (Depots are required to conform to the stated IICL criteria of 1(25mm) on center.)

Rails
Lower Web and Flange Damage Criteria on Bottom Rail:
Cuts, gouges, bends or breakage in the lower web and flange of the bottom rail may be
repaired by installing doubler plate over the damaged area. The doubler plate must be
installed after first straightening the damaged rail without heat, and then drilling stop holes
at both ends of the crack. This repair method may only be used under the following conditions:
The area of damage may not extend above the lower edge of the rail by more
than 80 mm (3-1/8 in).
The area of damage must not exceed 600 mm (24 in) in length.
All other provisions shown on the current IICL manual continue to apply.

Delamination Bolt: Cap Nut with Permaglas Rod 100 mm. Cap
nut is made of Stainless Steel (SuS). Rod Nut is made of Aluminum.
Installation Instructions:
1) Make sure the container is level. Check / match diagonals.
2) Using a template mark the location of the bolt on the interior lining of the
container. It is important to install bolts on the recessed area of the corrugation.
3) Using jacks, position the cladding back tightly against the insulation before drilling the holes.
4) After drilling holes, coat each hole using a spray food grade polyurethane clear coating. This
coating prevents galvanic reaction, so it is very important.
5) Before installing the bolt, apply caulking underneath the head of the aluminum nut.
6) Install the bolts starting from the center of the panel working out to the ends. Bolt torque is 20ft
lbs (0.86m.kgs).
7) Cut of the excess permaglas rod. Affix rivets and seal with Sikaflex 221 or equivalent.
Note: Florens requires 5 tight bolts per 4 feet wide panel with one tight bolt in the center of the
panel and
Note: Side panel bolts are installed from outside to the inside, i.e. the nutsert is installed on the interior lining.
