component in the “base structure” of a container which supports the floor See 6.2.1 .
NOTE 1 In general cargo containers, such components are commonly laid transversely. In such cases they are also known as “cross members” or “intermediate transverse members”, i.e. transverse members in the base structure, intermediate between the “bottom end transverse members” in the “end frame”.
NOTE 2 In platform-based containers, transverse floor planking is sometimes supported on additional longitudinal members, in which case these may also be regarded as floor bearers.
