Characteristics |
|
This
container with its top loading facility is designed for the carriage
of heavy and awkward cargoes, and those cargoes with height in
excess of that which can be stowed in a standard General Purpose
Container. The floor of the container is of hardwood timber plank or
plywood, and there are a number of cargo securing points in the
floor or along the bottom side rail (generally 5 per side in the
case of 20' and 9 per side 40', each with a Safe Working Load of
2023 kgs).
As
can be seen from the diagrams this steel container with its
removable door header and rempvable roof bows allows loading to be
effected either directly through the roof aperture or through the
door using overhead lifting equipment. Tarpaulin tilts are supplied
to protect cargo. P&O Containers also maintains a supply of
overheight tilts for use with overheight cargo. A limited number are
available on request.
Notes.
The actual roof aperture is smaller than the internal dimensions of
the container, due to protrusion of the top side rails (needed to
support the roof bows) and the stubs (supporting the header bar over
the door). |
