Which container sizes can CIMIC supply?

Most reefer and dry models are available in 10ft, 20ft, 20ft High Cube, 40ft and 40ft High Cube. Special builds such as side open door, roll-up door, half height and offshore containers are engineered to the project's dimensions and load requirements.

Which refrigeration unit brands are available for reefer containers?

Our reefer range is supplied with mainstream refrigeration units including Thermo King, Daikin and Carrier, so buyers can match the unit to their local service network and spare parts availability.

What certifications does CIMIC hold?

CIMIC holds a BV shipping certificate and an ISO quality management certificate. Offshore dry cargo containers are manufactured in compliance with DNV certification requirements.

Do you accept OEM and ODM container orders?

Yes. Buyers can select a model from our catalog or work one-to-one with our engineering team on custom dimensions, door configurations, insulation, coatings, branding and interior fit-out.

Where are CIMIC containers shipped from?

New containers are produced at our bases in Tianjin and Suzhou, about 100 kilometers from the seaport. Used containers are held at various Chinese ports, which shortens dispatch time for buyers.

What is the minimum order quantity for custom shipping containers?

MOQ depends on the degree of customization. Standard new and used containers are supplied in flexible quantities, while bespoke builds are planned per project. Our team will advise the most cost-efficient batch size for your requirement.

China New 20ft Platform Frame Container Exporter, Product

The platform is the main load-bearing part of the platform frame container, usually made of high-strength steel, such as Q345 steel with good toughness and strength. The surface of the platform is generally flat to ensure the stability of the cargo placement and facilitate loading and unloading and transportation on various transportation tools.

Product Description

Product Introduction

The platform frame container is a specialized transport unit consisting essentially of two structural elements: the platform and the frame. Without the full enclosed box walls found in standard dry cargo containers, this open cargo container is engineered specifically for carrying oversized, heavy, and irregularly shaped loads. The rugged perimeter frame supports and shields the freight. Built from thick-walled square or rectangular structural steel tubes, the four corner pillars easily withstand immense vertical stacking weight. Seamlessly welded upper and lower beams, reinforced with corner and side diagonal bracing, prevent deformation from dynamic transit stresses. A high density of robust welded tie-down rings and lashing hooks are distributed across the base and peripheral beams for rock-solid cargo securing.

Key Advantages

Oversized Cargo Transportation

Free from enclosing side walls, platform frame containers effortlessly transport extra-wide, extra-long, or high-profile items. Ideal for massive industrial cargo like wind turbine blades spanning tens of meters that exceed regular dry container profiles.

Convenient Loading and Unloading

Open framing allows convenient overhead and lateral crane lifting. Compatible with all lifting facilities, including port gantry cranes, marine quayside cranes, and mobile construction site truck cranes.

Efficient Space Utilization

Maximizes deck footprint for irregular machinery without internal wall clearance limitations. Eliminates dead space common in traditional box configurations when packing large structural components.

Seamless Multimodal Transport

Built strictly in compliance with standard international intermodal dimensions, allowing rapid and reliable intermodal transfer across highway trailers, rail wagons, and ocean vessel slots.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1 What types of cargo can be loaded in a flat frame container?

It can load a wide variety of large, overweight, and irregularly shaped cargoes, such as heavy machinery, structural construction materials, energy equipment, and automotive components that exceed the dimensional or weight limits of ordinary containers.

Q2 How to determine how to fix the cargo on the platform frame container?

First assess cargo shape, weight, and center of gravity. Regular, low-center items can be lashed via frame anchor points using high-tensile steel straps or chains. High-center or irregular loads require tailored chocks, brackets, or diagonal struts to prevent tipping or sliding in transit.

Q3 What structural features enable the frame to carry extreme vertical weight?

The frame utilizes heavy-gauge rectangular or square steel corner columns welded directly to massive upper and lower crossbeams. Side and end diagonal bracings enhance torsional rigidity and safeguard against shifting forces during handling and transport.

Q4 What types of lifting equipment can be used for loading and unloading?

Because the container has no top or side wall restrictions, diverse crane types can be utilized, including quayside container cranes, terminal gantry cranes, and mobile mobile truck cranes on project sites.

Q5 Does the platform frame container comply with international multimodal transport standards?

Yes, it is designed according to ISO external dimensional standards, ensuring full interoperability and efficient transshipment between ocean shipping vessels, railway flatcars, and specialized highway chassis.

Q6 Where are the cargo securing points located on the frame container?

High-capacity lashing points, including welded steel loops and tie-down rings, are strategically distributed along the outer side rails and across the interior floor deck to ensure reliable securing angles for diverse configurations.
