**I got involved with these a few years back, the city caught the owner
with using some of these as storage. The end walls are some sort of
moment frame. There should be a label/placard on the container that
gives the allowable racking loads. I ended up using helical screw
anchors at the corners and welding the end of the exposed anchor rod to
a bracket welded to the container corners.**
