20' Bulk Container

Defining the 20' Bulk Container

The 20-foot Bulk container is a highly specialized variant designed for the automated transport and handling of loose dry commodities like grains, malt, animal feed, powders, and plastic pellets. Externally similar to a standard dry van, the bulk unit features three circular loading hatches (approx. 50cm diameter) in the roof and two discharge valves integrated into the door or front wall. This design eliminates the need for expensive bagging or individual packaging, allowing commodities to be "poured" directly into the unit.

Internally, bulk containers often feature reinforced wall structures and smooth-surface liners to prevent cargo from sticking during discharge. By utilizing the entire interior volume for loose items, they provide exceptional scale and cost efficiency for agribusiness and chemical industries. Gravity loading through the roof hatches and pneumatic or gravity-based discharge ensures rapid terminal handling and reduced labor costs. For shippers focused on large-volume granular commodities, the 20' bulk container is the gold standard for secure, contamination-free international transport.
