Specification

Feature and Application

The 20Ft platform container features an open top design and robust structure, suitable for carrying oversized goods. It ensures secure and efficient transportation.

Our 20ft platform containers fill important niches in the transport industry. One example is the transport of steel coil, which is dangerous to transport due to the extreme density of the load and its tendency to roll. Steel coil is loaded horizontally, permitting it to roll, because the centre of the coil can be used as a forklift tyne pocket. Our 20ft platform containers can eliminate this safety risk, as they feature standard container corner casts for lifting. Steel coil can be loaded onto the platform vertically, and the platform lifted with a normal container forklift. Intermediary depots which may not possess the specialised equipment needed to lift a steel coil vertically can use the platform container to transfer the load safely and efficiently.
