Product Advantages

This is a 20ft flat rack container, fully compliant with the CSC (International Convention for Safe Containers) standards.

With standard dimensions of 20 feet in length and 8 feet in width, it can be stacked and shipped like a standard ISO container. It can be mounted onto overseas skeletal container trailers to serve as a flatbed transporter. Lashing points are fitted on the side frames for securing cargo with ropes or straps. Anti-tip bars can be inserted on the top to prevent cargo from tipping over. Besides cargo transportation, it can also be used as a heavy-duty equipment walkway on project construction sites.

Practical Cargo Capacity

Standard parameters include:

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

  • Tare Weight: 2,050 kg /

  • Maximum Payload: 27,430 kg / 60,480 lb

  • Cubic Capacity: 31 m³ / 1,094 cu.ft.

These operational ratings reflect actual engineering ratings for heavy-duty cargo handling.

Steel Structure with Controlled Fabrication

This container is manufactured using precision CNC cutting and standardized welding processes to maintain high structural stability.

Anti-Corrosion Coating System

The steel structure undergoes Sa2.5 abrasive blast cleaning before painting.

The specified coating system consists of:

  • Zinc-rich epoxy primer

  • Epoxy intermediate coat

  • Acrylic top coat

Paint thickness and coating adhesion are strictly inspected and verified as part of our quality-control procedures.

ISO Special Container Configuration

Classified under ISO Special Containers, this product is engineered in full compliance with ISO 1496-1 standards.

Palletized Cargo

Full-side access accelerates pallet loading and unloading via forklift, allowing direct placement into designated positions without the need to work exclusively through rear end doors.

Wide and Bulky Cargo

Cargo that is difficult to maneuver through a conventional end-door opening can benefit from the larger lateral access provided by a full-side-opening design.

Typical applications can include:

● Packaged industrial equipment

● Wide components

● Bulky cargo

● Machinery

● Irregularly shaped goods

Industrial Equipment

The full side opening provides greater flexibility when positioning machinery and industrial components inside the container.

The recommended loading configuration is determined by:

● Cargo dimensions

● Cargo weight

● Center of gravity

● Side opening dimensions

● Handling equipment

● Cargo securing requirements

Cargo Requiring Frequent Access

Side-opening containers optimize operations where stored goods require selective or frequent retrieval. Lateral door access allows operators to access specific cargo bays directly without unstuffing items placed near the door.

Multimodal Logistics

Our standard ocean container products are fully engineered for seamless multimodal logistics across global rail, road, and maritime networks. Transport arrangements are confirmed based on the approved container specification, CSC plate details, loading plan, and carrier requirements.
