40ft General Purpose Cargo Container
Characteristics
Designed mainly for light to medium weight bulky dry goods and cargo in lengths up to 12 m (to 39.3ft). Loading and unloading access is through full width end-doors. The all steel containers have corrugated unlined sidewalls, whereas the aluminum containers are plywood lined. Both types have timber flooring. Cargo securing points are set into the floor at the base of the sidewalls and in the doorway cornerposts. Aluminum containers also have fixing points in the sidewalls at intervals down the length of the container
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 weights. There are few routes where the ISO payload can be achieved on a door to door basis, usually because of road weight limitations. If the payload plus tare weight is suspected of exceeding the Road Regulation limits on the route concerned, contact your local Brisk office.
For example, in the UK these containers are limited to approx. 16.5 tonnes (16.2 tons) payload.
