20FT Platform Container – 28 Ton Payload Capacity

20FT Platform Container – 28 Ton Payload Capacity

Heavyweight Capacity. Ultra-Low Profile. Certified for Extreme Loads.

The 20FT Platform Container is a specialized heavy-duty transport solution designed for oversized, irregular, or high-density cargo. With a payload capacity of 28,680 kg and a deck height of just 323.8 mm (12.75 inches), this container accommodates freight that exceeds the dimensional or weight limits of standard enclosed units.

Built from fully welded CORTEN steel, the platform is CSC certified for international intermodal transport. Its flush steel surface and ISO-standard twistlocks make it ideal for lifting, lashing, and staging industrial cargo across land and sea logistics networks.

Technical Specifications

Engineering & Load Performance

• 6 mm Steel Deck Plate
  Delivers enhanced resistance to point loading and dynamic force transfer during crane lifts, container movements, or heavy freight placement.
• Ultra-Low Platform Height
  At just over 12 inches high, the platform allows tall cargo to remain within clearance limits, ideal for road, rail, or ocean compliance.
• ISO-Aligned Corner Castings & Twistlocks
  Designed to integrate seamlessly with intermodal handling systems, including flatbed trucks, railcars, and container ships.
• CORTEN Steel Construction
  Ensures long-term corrosion resistance, structural durability, and resistance to environmental fatigue, even in salt-heavy or humid deployments.
• Stackable Design
  Units can be securely stacked when empty, optimizing yard or dockside space during staging and repositioning.

Use Case Applications

Oversized Machinery Transport

Carries heavy or irregular loads such as turbines, hydraulic lifts, excavators, transformers, and other industrial equipment unsuitable for enclosed containers.

Steel & Foundry Logistics

Facilitates secure movement of coils, billets, long pipe sections, I-beams, or dense metal components used in construction or manufacturing.

Modular Infrastructure Components

Ideal for HVAC modules, pre-assembled utility skids, industrial frames, or mechanical columns requiring open deck support during transit.

Cross-Mode Heavy Freight

Integrates with rail, road, and sea freight systems to provide consistent performance across transportation methods. Supports mixed-mode distribution for global supply chains.

Certification & Delivery Standards

• CSC Certified: Complies with international safety and handling standards for intermodal use
• Pre-Dispatch Inspection: Structural welds, twistlock placement, and deck integrity are verified before release
• Finish: Standard RAL 5013 paint with optional custom RAL codes available upon request
• Lead Times: In-stock availability with standard delivery turnaround

This container is ready for deployment in projects requiring serious load support, minimal clearance height, and global shipping compatibility.
