I think the containers stayed the same width, the
civilian ISO containers are taller at 8'6". As I
understand it the new M1022A1 are able to handle
8' and 8'6" containers with the upper part able
to change height. The A1 model pins the shelter
from the side at the bottom and from the top at
the top of the shelter. Rather than hooking in
from the side. So the clamping mechanism
You've looked at CDK's page on the M1022A1 right?

They've got a video of a mobilizer being connected.

They're fairly new, I'm not sure if you'll find one surplused.
You should be able to find 8' tall containers.
Check with the container sales people they might
have some 8' tall units somewhere.
