20ft General Purpose Cargo Container
Characteristics
For the carriage of all types of General Cargo. Loading and unloading access is through full width end-doors. These containers are constructed from three main materials, Steel, Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP), and Aluminum Alloy with Plywood linings.
Timber floors are fitted in all containers. Cargo securing/lashing points are located at floor level at the base of the sidewalls along the length of the containers, and also vertically adjacent to the doorway corner posts. Some containers have additional fixings on the sidewalls at the door-end.
Tare, Payload and Gross Weights
Maximum tare weights are quoted because of variations in types of materials used in container construction. The payload is the difference between the plated tare and gross weight and will be governed by that allowed on a particular route. Based on ISO recommendations the permitted gross weight is 20,320 kgs (20 tons). It may be possible to exceed this in varying degrees subject to the weight conditions being within the lawful maximum imposed on the route. For further guidance contact your local Brisk office.
