20ft Platform Container (Flat Bed Container) – 28,000kg High Payload Capacity
When standard dry van containers or flat rack units fail to accommodate ultra – heavy, awkward, or top – heavy cargo, the 20ft Platform Shipping Container delivers unmatched load capability. Engineered without side walls, end frames, or top corner castings, this container consists purely of a high – tensile steel base frame designed to distribute structural weight evenly across the main floor beams.
With a massive 28 – ton (28,000 kg) payload capacity, this platform container is designed for heavy industry, construction, mining, aerospace, and marine sectors requiring concentrated load support.
High – Tensile Steel Construction & Lashing Systems
Built from corrosion – resistant Corten steel and supported by thick cross – members, the platform bed stands up to rigorous loading procedures, including direct loading by heavy forklifts and overhead cranes.
-
Integrated Lashing Points: Equipped with multiple high – capacity lashing rings welded into the side rails and floor structure. Each ring is rated for multi – ton tie – down capacity to secure machinery, steel coils, and timber using heavy – duty chains or webbing straps.
-
Reinforced Corner Castings: Standard ISO corner castings on the base structure ensure full compatibility with container chassis, reach stackers, vessel twist – locks, and rail cars.
-
Heavy – Duty Flooring: Options include thick marine – grade hard – wood planking or anti – slip steel checker plate flooring designed to handle tracked or wheeled vehicles.
