1. Bottom longitudinal rib layout of the Industrial hydraulic tool heavy-duty transit case
The Industrial hydraulic tool heavy-duty transit case runs 6 longitudinal ribs at even spacing along the base, so a 45 kg load hits the ribs before the frame. Outer size 980×620×480 mm and inner cavity 900×540×400 mm fix the span. Six ribs hold mid-span deflection to ≤2 mm.
In the Industrial hydraulic tool heavy-duty transit case, a 5.5 mm wall pairs with three weights: 15.8 kg empty, 45 kg loaded, 60.8 kg gross. Empty governs carrying, loaded governs stacking, gross governs fork lift.
Whether ribs and base are moulded together or bonded later decides if a shock crosses the floor. Moulded ribs have a root fillet and rarely crack under a drop; bonded ribs save tooling but add a glue line to inspect. Gaps between the 6 ribs leave room for fork pockets, so the lip is not cut by a rib. The four corners are thickened, and stacked feet press on lower posts so force runs down one line. Rib height must match the 5.5 mm wall; too tall warps empty, too short cannot hold loaded deflection. JUNZHIJIA files by rib so a reading traces to one number.
| Long-edge position | Member | Load role |
|---|---|---|
| Mid-span | 6 ribs | Holds deflection to ≤2 mm |
| Both ends | 5.5 mm wall | Frame shares bending |
| Base | 980×620×480 mm | Fixes the span |
2. Fork-pocket clear height and pallet matching
The Industrial hydraulic tool heavy-duty transit case sets fork-pocket clear height at 90 mm, sized for common pallet tines so they clear the lip. The pocket runs along the long edge, its top edge lined up with gaps between the 6 ribs. Too small jams the fork; too large thins the floor.
Pocket and ribs are two faces of one base, competing for area on the 980×620×480 mm floor. The 6 ribs sit in the gaps so 90 mm stays undeformed at 45 kg loaded. Base material creeps from −25 °C to 60 °C, so height is checked at the upper condition.
When the 60.8 kg gross case rests on two tines, load concentrates on two narrow lip strips. The Industrial hydraulic tool heavy-duty transit case adds a turned flange to spread that pressure, so the lip does not collapse first after a 1.2 m drop. Pocket deformation joins the ≤3 mm diagonal deviation as a post-drop recheck.
3. Corner load transfer across three stacked layers
In a 3-layer stack the bottom case carries the gross weight of two above, so 60.8 kg times two is the corner input. The Industrial hydraulic tool heavy-duty transit case aligns feet as bosses with corner posts, so force runs down one line instead of landing mid-lid.
Corner load is spread sideways by the 6 ribs. If a foot misses its post by a few millimetres the load turns eccentric. After a 3-layer stack the base diagonal is measured and ≤3 mm means the posts held alignment. The same corners are rechecked after 96 h salt spray.
Six latches at 520 N each also relate to stacking. An upper case is not located by latches; they only lock lid to shell, evenly spread so no point pries open first. The IP66 mouth is rechecked after stacking.
4. Gauge points for full-load deflection
Deflection at 45 kg loaded is gauged at mid-span and two rib roots, reading the height difference at one spot before and after loading. The ≤2 mm line means the bend stays inside what 6 ribs can hold. The Industrial hydraulic tool heavy-duty transit case draws gauge points into the load sheet.
Gauge points cannot sit only at mid-span. A point at each of the 6 roots reveals a rib that lost floor contact. The 45 kg between 60.8 kg gross and 15.8 kg empty is the applied load, and with one template the two heights are subtracted.
The limit is one number, ≤2 mm. Move the gauge and the reading is void.
| Load-bearing member | Value | Measurement condition |
|---|---|---|
| Longitudinal ribs | 6 | Mid-span gauge at 45 kg |
| Wall | 5.5 mm | Frame shares bending |
| Pocket flange | 90 mm clear | Tines lift 60.8 kg gross |
5. Diagonal deviation recheck after a drop
A 1.2 m drop runs over six faces, with the corner landing concentrating shock. The line is base diagonal deviation ≤3 mm, gauged at two pairs as the difference between diagonals. For the Industrial hydraulic tool heavy-duty transit case this shows whether ribs and posts were knocked out of line.
For the Industrial hydraulic tool heavy-duty transit case, the diagonal is measured before and after with one template. Over 3 mm, check whether the 6 ribs lifted at the root, then the corner, then the 5.5 mm wall. The IP66 gasket is inspected because a shifted seal removes the datum.
Drop, stack and full-load deflection form a fixed order, since each step rewrites the next one's start. Stack 3 layers, run the 1.2 m drop, then load 45 kg; both limits are read in that order. Salt spray for 96 h comes last to see whether metal pits shift the earlier readings.
| Deflection value | Condition | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Full-load deflection | 45 kg loaded | ≤2 mm |
| Diagonal deviation | 1.2 m six-face drop | ≤3 mm |
| Pocket clear height | 90 mm | No deformation after drop |
Conclusion
The Industrial hydraulic tool heavy-duty transit case comes down to two lines: base deflection ≤2 mm at 45 kg loaded and diagonal deviation ≤3 mm after a 1.2 m drop. Six ribs, a 5.5 mm wall, 90 mm pocket clear height and 3-layer corner alignment hold those lines; 60.8 kg gross and six 520 N latches close the boundary. Order on recheck readings after 96 h salt spray rather than one factory figure.
