Container Specifications 

Containerization of goods is becoming ever more widespread worldwide and almost all products are now transported by a shipping container. However, this does not mean that the risks which arise during transport are consequently a thing of the past. If transport is to pass off without loss, selection of a suitable shipping container type is fundamental. 

Suitable for any general cargo. Containers may be equipped with liner bags suitable for bulk cargo, e.g. malt. There are various lashing devices on the top and bottom longitudinal rails and the corner posts. Lashing devices have load of 1150 kgs (2205 lbs) each. 

Refrigerated containers are used for goods which need to be transported at a constant temperature above or below freezing point. These goods are divided into chilled goods and frozen goods, depending on the specified transport temperature. They principally include fruit, vegetables, meat and dairy products, such as butter and cheese. 

We can offer specific equipment for heavy cargo that requires special attention, or does not fit into a standard container. We provide flat racks in length of 20’ and 40’, with fixed or collapsible end-walls. This equipment is suitable for top or side loading, and ideal for items such as heavy machinery, pipes and boats. 

Our special open top containers are available in lengths of 20’ and 40’ and have been designed for over-sized cargo that does not fit into a standard container. They are equipped with removable roof bows and tarpaulin covers, and the cargo can easily be secured with lashing bars and bull rings.
