What is the purpose of roof bows in containers?

The purpose of roof bows in containers is to support the underside of the roof panel. Roof bows are structural components that provide strength and rigidity to the container’s roof, preventing sagging and maintaining the container's shape under various conditions, including the weight of cargo and external environmental factors. This support is essential for ensuring the overall integrity and durability of the container, especially during transportation when it may experience varying loads and stresses. By reinforcing the roof panel, roof bows contribute significantly to the container's ability to protect the cargo inside from potential damage caused by structural weaknesses.
