Hardtop Container 40'
- The 40' hardtop container has particularly been constructed for:
- long loads which cannot be transported in the 20' hardtop container;
- heavy loads;
- high and excessively high loads;
- loading, e.g. by crane, through roof opening and door side.
- The roof can be removed by using a fork-lift. The weight of the steel roof is approx. 450 kg (990 lbs) each section.
- 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.
- The roof can easily be raised by about 70 mm (23⁄4"), using the roof locking devices so that the door-header can be swung out without removing the roof.
- 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 permissible weight limits for road and rail transport.

Open Top Container 40'
- Especially for:
- overheight cargo;
- 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.
- The capacity of the floor for use of fort-lift trucks exceeds the ISO standards by 33% on all 40' open top containers.
- Numerous lashing devices are located on the top and bottom longitudinal rails and the corner posts.
Lashing devices have a permissible load of 1,000 kg (2,205 lbs) each. - Dimensions of roof and door openings follow in two pages.
- Note permissible weight limits for road and rail transport.

Refrigerated Container 40'
- Especially for cargo which needs constant temperatures above or below freezing point.
- Controlled
fresh-air supply is possible. Containers are ATO-approved (formerly SPRENGER). - Walls in «sandwich-construction», with Polyurethane foam to provide maximum insulation.
- The reefer unit is a compact-design compressor unit with aircooled condenser. It switches automatically from cooling to heating operation (and vice versa), if a change of the outside temperatures makes it necessary.
- Please note maximum stowage height in below table and as indicated by red line inside container in order to ensure proper ventilation.
- Possible voltages:
380V/50 Hz to 460 V/60Hz
200 V/50 Hz to 220 V/60 Hz - Note permissible weight limits for road and rail transport.
- Possible temperature setting:
+25°C to -25°C (+77°F to -13°F). - Diesel generators are installed on some 40' containers to provide a power supply.
- 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 60°C (140° F)
