23′ & 39′ Gun Carrier Containers with Removable Lid (Military & Munitions Spec)
The 23′ & 39′ Gun Carrier Containers with Removable Lid are specialized, heavy-duty intermodal enclosures designed for the defense, mining, and heavy-engineering sectors. Originally engineered for the deployment, transport, and secure storage of military artillery systems, gun barrels, and munitions, these containers are purpose-built to handle ultra-heavy, long-axis payloads that cannot be loaded through standard container end doors.
Available in both 23-foot and 39-foot lengths, these units feature a fully removable hard steel lid (roof), enabling unrestricted 360-degree top-loading via overhead gantry cranes, boom cranes, or field hoists. Constructed from high-tensile corrugated Corten steel, each container is fitted with heavy-duty perimeter locking clamps and weather gaskets to ensure a 100% wind-and-watertight seal when the lid is secured. The reinforced interior floor and sidewalls are equipped with custom tie-down tracks, heavy-gauge lashing points, and floor locks to keep high-value defense hardware or heavy machinery rock-solid during rough off-road, rail, or sea transit.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
1. Hard-Lid Top Loading & Security
Removable Steel Lid: Full-length rigid steel roof lifts off completely via corner padeyes for fast vertical crane loading of artillery, shafts, or oversized equipment.
Perimeter Lid Clamping: Heavy-duty quick-release twist locks/clamps press the lid firmly against continuous rubber seals for total weatherproofing.
Specialized Lengths: Custom 23ft and 39ft footprints designed to fit standard ISO twist-lock positions on specialized transport chassis and flatbeds.
2. High-Payload Framing & Tie-Down System
Reinforced Chassis: Extra-heavy steel crossmembers designed to concentrate high axle loads without floor deflection.
Internal Anchoring Tracks: Integrated flush-mounted sidewall and floor lashing rails for heavy-duty load straps, turnbuckles, and vehicle chocks.
Corrosion Resistance: Marine-grade anti-corrosive Corten steel construction with heavy-duty protective epoxy coating.
