Key Features

Removable Roof Section

Allows unrestricted vertical loading from above using crane, hoist, or gantry systems. Ideal for materials that exceed standard door height or require drop-in access.

Detachable Header Bar

Front-end bar can be removed to increase clearance during front-loading by forklift or telehandler, improving handling efficiency on job sites and in industrial yards.

Heavy-Duty Tarpaulin

Each unit includes a weatherproof canvas tarpaulin with tensioned locking cleats, offering full overhead coverage and protection from rain, dust, or UV during transit or storage.

Plywood Flooring

Durable, forklift-ready flooring supports pallet jacks and industrial equipment — suitable for heavy-duty warehouse and job-site use.

CSC Certified

Units are CSC plated for legal use in intermodal shipping systems. Suitable for road, rail, and ocean freight without modification or compliance delay.

Use Case Applications

Construction & Infrastructure Projects

Ideal for transporting oversized steel beams, scaffolding, rebar bundles, or machinery that cannot be loaded through standard container doors. Perfect for modular bridge elements or precast components.

Heavy Equipment Handling

Designed for top-loading large engines, turbines, generator sets, and irregular mechanical assemblies that require crane placement.

Industrial Materials & Fabrication

Supports top-down loading of dense raw materials such as metal coils, bulk rebar, aluminum extrusion racks, and fabricated industrial units.

Restricted Loading Environments

Functions exceptionally in ports, dense job sites, or warehouse yards where rear or side access is limited or obstructed. Enables vertical loading from fixed gantries or tower cranes.
