3. Material, Coating & Structural Specifications

  • Steel Shell: Heavy-gauge corrugated Corten A-grade weathering steel structure, heavily reinforced along the open-side perimeter headers and sills to compensate for the removed side wall and maintain full structural stacking and lifting rigidity.

  • Exterior Paint System: Factory-applied industrial marine-grade coating in standard corporate colors (such as RAL 5010 Blue or RAL 7035 Gray), offering superior UV stabilization and corrosion protection.

  • Frame & Corner Castings: ISO 1161 heavy-duty structural corner castings and integrated forklift pockets for safe multi-modal lifting, twist-lock stacking, and transport.

  • Flooring: 28mm marine-grade waterproof treated plywood, screw-fastened to heavy-duty cross-members, capable of handling forklift entry through both the side and end doors.

4. Access, Security & Ventilation

  • Dual Access Configurations: Features both standard double-wing end cargo doors (with 4 vertical locking cam bars) and multiple sets of hinged side-opening doors that fold back completely to offer unobstructed side access.

  • Security Protection: Heavy-duty steel lockboxes fitted to both the end doors and side-door locking bars to shield padlocks against bolt-cutters and tampering.

  • Weatherproofing & Airflow: Full-perimeter EPDM rubber gaskets on all doors ensuring 100% wind- and water-tightness (WWT), paired with integrated weather-proof ventilation louvers.

5. Logistics & Handling

  • Transport: Fully compatible with standard global intermodal transport logistics, including container ships, railcars, tilt-tray trucks, and side-loaders.

  • Site Deployment: Rapidly positioned on any level hardstand (concrete pad, asphalt, or compacted gravel) with minimal foundation requirements, providing immediate full-length access for inventory loading.
