Product overview

Core functionalities

Applicable scenarios

Unique advantages

  • High-Capacity Transportation: Designed for transporting large volumes of cargo across international routes (e.g., China to Ghana, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Zambia via Mombasa), with a 40ft standard size ideal for ocean freight.
  • Durability & Security: Built with corrosion-resistant steel and reinforced construction to withstand harsh conditions, featuring multi-point locking mechanisms and optional insulation/ventilation for specialized cargo.

Key features

  • 1. Corrosion-Resistant Steel Construction

  • With a corrosion-resistant steel body coated with a protective layer, you can ensure long-lasting durability, outperforming non-coated containers by 30% in harsh marine environments*. The corrugated design and reinforced corners provide structural integrity to withstand extreme weather and rough handling during long-distance transport.

  • 2. Customizable Security and Ventilation Systems

  • With customizable locking mechanisms and ventilation ports, you can secure cargo against theft and regulate airflow to prevent condensation damage, enhancing safety by 40% and protecting perishables during transit*.

  • 3. 40ft Capacity Meeting International Shipping Standards

  • With a 40ft capacity compliant with ISO shipping standards, you can transport up to 20% more cargo than 20ft containers while ensuring seamless integration into global logistics networks*. This standard size is optimized for ocean freight efficiency, reducing loading/unloading delays.

  • 4. Versatile Scenario Adaptability

  • With reinforced construction and optional insulation, you can safely transport perishables, machinery, or bulk goods across maritime and overland routes, maintaining cargo integrity in extreme temperatures or rough conditions*.

  • 5. ISO-Certified Safety and Compliance

  • Certified to ISO 1496 safety standards, you can ensure compliance with international regulations, reducing inspection delays by 50% and streamlining cross-border logistics*.

Supplier's note

  1. Technical Breakthroughs:

    • Reinforced corner posts: Enhance stacking stability by 25% compared to legacy designs, enabling safer multi-level storage.
    • Smart humidity sensors (Pro Model): Automatically regulate internal climate, reducing cargo spoilage risks by 40%.
    • 20-year corrosion warranty: Triple-coated steel outperforms industry-standard 10-year guarantees, cutting maintenance costs.
  2. Version Selection Guidance:

    • Base Model: Ideal for general cargo (e.g., construction materials) where temperature control isn’t critical.
    • Advanced Model: Perfect for perishables (e.g., fresh produce) needing moderate climate control.
    • Pro Model: Required for high-value, sensitive goods (e.g., pharmaceuticals) or long-term storage in corrosive environments.

With the Pro Model’s triple-coated steel, you can ensure cargo integrity in saltwater environments. Pair its vacuum insulation with smart sensors to maintain precise temperatures during 6-month transits. For bulk commodity exporters, the Base Model’s cost efficiency and 28,000kg capacity meet 90% of standard shipping needs.
