Containers

Container Specification

The following is a list along with photographs and specifications of various types of containers that are used in the containerized cargo movement business. The dimensions listed below are intended as a guide only. There are differences in the dimensions between containers produced by various manufacturers.
Conventional Dry Cargo Containers

20/40 ft. conventional end open containersf These are usually built to ISO standards, and are used for the movement of conventional dry cargo.

20/40 ft High Cube containers These containers offer the added advantage of extra volumetric capacity due to their additional height, and are especially useful of movement of light but bulky cargo.

20 ft Side Access Containers These containers are used exclusively for domestic traffic movements within the country. They offer the advantage of having doors on the side panels, and this makes it convenient for use in locations where chassis stuffing operations have to be used.

22 ft/High Cube Domestic Containers These containers have also been exclusively introduced by CONCOR for the purpose of carrying cargo that requires greater volumetric capacity or container length.

 

Specialty Containers

20 ft/40 ft/ 40ft High Cube Refrigerated Containers These are containers that can be used for the movement of refrigerated/perishable cargo. Special facilities such as the availability of plug points, portable clip on generators for trailer movements, power packs for train movements etc. are required for moving cargo in these containers. It must therefore be ascertained whether such facilities are available at the handling terminals before planning such movements.

 

20 ft/ 40ft/ Collapsible Flat Rack and Platform Containers These containers are especially useful for carrying over dimensional cargo or fully packed machines, equipment etc.

 

20 ft/ 40 ft Open Top Containers These containers are used mostly for cargo that needs to be handled with cranes and cannot be easily loaded from the front doors of the containers. Open tops can also be used for carrying over dimensional cargo of certain types. Such containers have also been inducted for domestic service and can be supplied on demand if such cargo is offered.

 

20 ft Tank Containers These containers are specially designed for the movement of liquid cargo of different types. Such containers have also been inducted for domestic service and can be supplied on demand if such cargo is offered.
