Applications
Applications for 20ft High Cube Container
The strongest use cases for this specification, based on its configuration and published selection criteria.
Suitable application
Equipment storage
Storage for tools, machinery, and operational equipment.
Selection criterion
Frequent relocation
ISO freight construction, corner castings, and the Corten-steel shell are designed for repeated lifting, transport, and redeployment. On white variants, the PU coating adds paint durability that helps the container remain presentable.
Application
General cargo
Transport and storage of general dry cargo.
Selection criterion
Forklift traffic
The bamboo-composite floor supports normal pallet-truck and forklift loading within the published axle and floor limits; choose a steel-floor specification for intensive repeated traffic.
Application
Palletised cargo
Transport and storage of palletised goods and unitised freight.
Selection criterion
Heavy rolling loads
Wheeled machinery may be loaded only after confirming wheel loads, axle loads, and load distribution against the published floor limits; a steel floor is preferred for repeated heavy rolling traffic.
Application
International shipping
Cross-border and intercontinental transport using ISO freight containers.
Selection criterion
Heavy point loads
Concentrated machinery loads require confirmation against the published floor rating and may need load-spreading plates; a steel-floor specification is the stronger starting point for repeated point loading.
Application
High-volume storage
Storage where additional internal height and cubic capacity are important.
Selection criterion
Moisture-resistant flooring
The bamboo-composite floor is intended for normal dry cargo use but remains an absorbent floor system; avoid prolonged damp exposure and choose steel for frequently wet operating conditions.
Application
Temporary warehousing
Flexible short- or medium-term warehousing without constructing a permanent building.
Application
Inventory overflow
Additional capacity for seasonal stock, production peaks, and warehouse overflow.
Selection criterion
Easy spill cleanup
Minor spills should be removed immediately, but the bamboo-composite floor and its joints can retain moisture or contaminants; choose steel where frequent cleanup is expected.
Selection criterion
High wear resistance
The bamboo-composite floor is durable for normal cargo handling; choose a steel-floor specification for abrasive loads or intensive repeated operations.

Technical questions
Frequently checked details
Direct answers based on the published values in this specification record.
This is a general-purpose dry van for high-volume storage, palletised cargo, equipment storage, international shipping, temporary warehousing, and inventory overflow. The 2698 mm internal height adds cubic capacity over a standard-height unit.
Internal dimensions are 5898 mm long × 2352 mm wide × 2698 mm high. The rear double cargo doors open to 2340 mm wide × 2585 mm high with easy-open locking bars and a lockbox.
Tare is 2150 kg, payload is 28330 kg, and maximum gross mass is 30480 kg. These are the published container weight values; confirm road, rail, or vessel limits separately.
This base specification has a bamboo composite floor and no lashing rails. The LR Moving configuration adds lashing rails for furniture and equipment restraint. The SF Steel Floor variant substitutes a steel loading surface, with a higher tare of 2370 kg and slightly lower payload of 28110 kg.
Design approval is confirmed with type approval basis, and plates are supplied under an assigned-per-unit examination scheme. The individual unit's current plate and examination status must be checked before shipping.
Small quantities can be repainted in a requested color. Larger production batches can be ordered in specific colors and can include project or company branding, subject to order requirements and confirmation.
Forklift traffic is suitable within published floor and axle limits. Frequent relocation is suitable due to ISO freight construction, corner castings, and Corten-steel shell. For intensive repeated forklift traffic or heavy rolling loads, a steel-floor specification is the stronger starting point.
