Product Advantages

Standard 20'GP Dry Cargo Configuration

The 20'GP ISO Dry Cargo Shipping Container is a standard-height 20-foot enclosed freight container designed for general dry cargo transportation.

Designated as model 20'GP (ISO size/type code 22G1), this container combines a compact 20-foot footprint with substantial payload capacity, making it ideal for dense freight and space-constrained transport operations.

Verified Payload Capacity

Standard engineering specifications include:

● Maximum Gross Weight: 30,480 kg / 67,200 lb

● Tare Weight: 2,200 kg / 4,850 lb

● Maximum Payload: 28,280 kg / 62,350 lb

● Cubic Capacity: 33.2 m³ / 1,173 cu.ft.

These ratings reflect our verified heavy-duty structural design for safe, reliable freight operations. Final cargo loading complies with the approved markings and certification documents provided with each unit.

Compact Format for Dense Cargo Loads

Compared with larger 40-foot containers, a standard 20-foot dry container optimizes space efficiency while delivering an exceptional cargo weight-to-volume ratio.

This makes the 20'GP format especially practical for high-density commodities, heavy machinery parts, and shipments where cargo weight is the primary factor rather than cubic volume.

Enclosed Dry Cargo Structure

The container is built with a standard weather-tight enclosed design:

● Fixed steel roof

● Corrugated steel side walls

● Steel end structure

● Double rear cargo doors

● Enclosed cargo compartment

This rugged construction delivers complete cargo protection for non-temperature-controlled freight during international transport and outdoor storage.

Controlled Steel Fabrication

The container is manufactured using precision CNC cutting and standardized automated welding processes to maintain high structural stability and dimensional consistency.

The frame, corrugated panels, corner castings, roof, and door assemblies are fully engineered and fabricated to approved dry cargo container standards.

Anti-Corrosion Coating System

Before painting, the entire steel structure undergoes Sa2.5 abrasive blast cleaning to remove scale and impurities.

The protective marine coating system consists of:

● Zinc-rich epoxy primer

● Epoxy intermediate coat

● Acrylic top coat

Coating dry film thickness (DFT) and adhesion are strictly tested during quality control to ensure superior long-term corrosion resistance in harsh marine and port environments.

ISO Shipping Container Design

This 20'GP container is engineered in full compliance with ISO 1496-1 requirements.

Each unit undergoes strict structural and proof-load testing, backed by complete classification documents, CSC plating, and official test reports.

Application

The 20'GP ISO Dry Cargo Shipping Container is engineered for general dry cargo transportation across compatible road, rail, and maritime logistics systems.

General Dry Cargo

The enclosed cargo compartment can accommodate a wide range of non-temperature-controlled goods, including:

● Cartoned products

● Palletized goods

● Packaged industrial products

● Consumer goods

● General manufactured products

● Other suitable dry freight

All cargo should be loaded and secured in accordance with approved container payload and safety limits.

Dense and Relatively Heavy Cargo

With a maximum payload capacity of 28,280 kg within a 33.2 m³ volume, this 20-foot container is the optimal choice for high-density goods such as metals, minerals, machinery components, and heavy packaged commodities.

Palletized and Packaged Products

The standardized internal dimensions allow straightforward pallet loading and securing through the wide-opening double rear doors. Loading plans should consider:

● Pallet dimensions

● Total cargo weight

● Floor loading

● Weight distribution

● Cargo securing requirements

Industrial Products

Machinery assemblies, industrial equipment, and manufactured components fit securely within the container's structural limits, providing an economical alternative when shipment volumes do not require a 40-foot unit.

Multimodal Logistics

Our ISO dry containers integrate seamlessly into global multimodal logistics networks, fully compatible with standard container ships, port handling cranes, railway flatcars, and highway chassis.
