HALF HEIGHTS

Designed for heavy bulk cargo not requiring large cubic capacity. Suitable for the carriage of dense cargoes transported by the mining and mineral by-product industries.

HEAVY DUTY – MULTI-PURPOSE

Our half height (BK2 compliant*) containers are suitable for the shipping of heavy and low-volume cargo such as mineral sands, iron ore, salt, coal, and stones.

Half heights have a low centre of gravity, so they can better handle heavier loads than taller containers, making them versatile and strong enough to withstand the use by mining industries.

The units come equipped with removable lids with heavy duty latches, enabling the ease of open top loading and ensuring the cargo is transported securely.  In addition, the half heights come equipped with a tipping hatch on the front end, side hinge door discharge with swinging header to ease the efficient loading and discharging.

*BK2 is a certified IMDG (International Maritime Dangerous Goods) code that means these are licensed for the carriage of solid hazardous cargo in line with IMDG.  Suitable for the mining and explosive industries.  The units differ from standard ISO in two main areas:

  • End wall strength is greater, with test load of 0.6 of payload, compared to 0.4 for a standard ISO container
  • Loose bulk must be contained without leakage

Overview

  • Quality build: Constructed with Corten high tensile strength steel, smooth steel floors, tapered side walls and anti-corrosion lined internal walls for durability and longevity.
  • Multiple loading & unloading options:  Open top, tipping hatch on front end, side hinge door discharge and rear doors fitted with a swing header to enable a forklift to access the container via the doors.
  • Strengthened side walls:  Tested to 0.6 to 0.8 times of payload suitable for diverse cargo types
  • Special corner gasket:  At rear door and anti-leakage steel plate on four corners.
  • Stackable for transport & storage:  The half height is 1450mm high that enables the units to be stacked one on top of the other in a standard 20’ slot, which helps reduce costs when returning empty containers and space saving for storage.
  • Fully intermodal capability:  The half heights can be transported by road, rail or by sea, without the need for handling freight in between modes of transport.
