Hardtop Container 20'
- This container type has been especially designed and developed for
- heavy loads;
- high and excessively high loads;
- loading, e.g. by crane, through roof opening and door side.
- The steel roof of some series is lifted with fork-lift rings so that it can be removed by using a fork-lift. The weight of the steel roof is approx. 450 kg (990 lbs).
- With the roof removed and the door header swung out, it is much easier to load cargo using a crane via the door side.
- In case your cargo is overheight, the roof sections can be lashed to a sidewall inside the container using only some 13 cm (5 1⁄8") of space.
- If required, disposable tarpaulins can be provided for the transport which can be fastened to the walls on the outside using lashing devices.
- The capacity of the container floor exceeds the ISO 1496/1 standard by 33%, so that a fork-lift whose front axle weight does not exceed 7,280 kg (16,000 lbs) can be used inside.
- The hardtop container provides many lashing devices to fasten goods. The lashing devices on the corner posts and on the longitudinal rails of the roof and floor are capable of bearing loads of up to 2,000 kg (4,410 lbs) each, and those in the middle of the side walls up to 500 kg (1,100 lbs) each. Lashing to the side walls can only be done after the roof has been closed.
- This container type has been designed for heavy loads. While considering the technical data (including the permissible spreaded load limitations) please bear in mind the prevalent weight restrictions for land transport.
- Note permissable weight limits for road and rail transport.

- loading from top side, e.g. by crane;
- loading from door side, e.g. with cargo
hanging from overhead tackle. - Door header can be swung out on all open top containers.
- If required, disposable tarpaulins can be provided. For fastening tarpaulins, lashing bars are available on the outside of the walls. Using one way tarpaulins requires the corner castings to be accessible.

- Possible voltages:
380V/50 Hz to 460 V/60Hz
200 V/50 Hz to 220 V/60 Hz - Refer to technical specifications and illustrations of electric plugs on refrigerated containers.
- Note permissible weight limits for road and rail transport.
- Permissible temperature setting:
+25°C to -25°C (+77°F to -13°F). - The set temperatures can be kept as long as the difference between outside and cargo temperatures does not exceed the following limits: for heating 42°C (108°F)
for cooling 65°C (149°F).

Tank Container 20'
- Separate tank fleets are available for:
CHEMICAL PRODUCTS, e.g.:
- Flammables
- Oxidising agents
- Toxic substances
- Corrosives
FOODSTUFFS, e.g.:
- Alcohols
- Fruit juices
- Edible oils
- Food additives
- Tanks must be filled to not less than 80% of their capacity to avoid dangerous surg/swells during transport.
Tanks must not be filled to 100% of their capacity. Sufficient ullage space shall be left- which must be determined depending on the thermal expansion of the product to be carried. - Certain dangerous products must be carried in tanks having no openings below the surface level of the liquid. Such tanks must be discharged through a syphon pipe by either pressure or pumping.
- National road/rail weight limitations have to be maintained when arranging land transport.
- For the cleaning of tanks and disposal of residues tariff rules apply. Tanks moving in a dedicated service are exempted from such rules until the dedication is terminated.
