20FT Platform Container – 28 Ton Payload Capacity

Deck height 323.8 mm — 12.75 inches — and maximum payload 28,680 kg. Those two numbers define what a 20FT platform container is for: oversized, irregular or high-density cargo beyond the dimensional or weight limits of a standard enclosed unit, carried low enough that tall freight still clears road, rail and ocean limits.

The frame is fully welded CORTEN steel; the deck is a 6 mm steel cover plate. The platform is CSC certified for international intermodal transport, and between the flush steel surface and the ISO-standard twistlocks it lifts, lashes and stages industrial cargo over land and sea logistics networks.

Load Performance

• The 6 mm deck plate stands up to point loading and to dynamic force transfer during crane lifts, container movements and heavy freight placement.
• An ultra-low platform at just over 12 inches keeps tall cargo inside clearance limits for road, rail or ocean compliance.
• Corner castings and twistlocks follow ISO alignment and slot into intermodal handling systems — flatbed trucks, railcars, container ships.
• CORTEN steel holds off corrosion long term and resists environmental fatigue, salt-heavy and humid postings included.
• Empty units stack securely, which recovers yard and dockside space during staging and repositioning.

Freight It Carries

Oversized machinery transport

Turbines, hydraulic lifts, excavators, transformers and other heavy or irregular industrial equipment that an enclosed container cannot take.

Steel and foundry logistics

Coils, billets, long pipe sections, I-beams and dense metal components bound for construction or manufacturing, moved secured to the deck.

Modular infrastructure components

HVAC modules, pre-assembled utility skids, industrial frames and mechanical columns that need open deck support while in transit.

Cross-mode heavy freight

Performance stays consistent across rail, road and sea freight systems, which is what mixed-mode distribution in a global supply chain requires.

Certification and Dispatch

• CSC certified: Meets international safety and handling standards for intermodal use
• Pre-dispatch inspection: Structural welds, twistlock placement and deck integrity are all verified before a unit is released
• Finish: RAL 5013 as standard, with optional custom RAL codes on request
• Lead times: In-stock availability, standard delivery turnaround

The unit is ready for deployment where a project demands serious load support, minimal clearance height and global shipping compatibility.
