The platform is the main load-bearing part of the platform frame container, usually made of high-strength steel, such as Q345 steel with good toughness and strength. The surface of the platform is generally flat to ensure the stability of the cargo placement and facilitate loading and unloading and transportation on various transportation tools.

Product Description

Product Introduction

The platform frame container is a special type of container, which mainly consists of two parts: the platform and the frame. It does not have a complete box wall like an ordinary dry cargo container. It is an open transport container used to load large, overweight, irregularly shaped or difficult to load into ordinary containers. The frame is built around the platform to support and protect the cargo. The four corner columns of the frame are usually made of square or rectangular steel pipes, which have thick walls and can withstand huge vertical pressure. The upper and lower beams are welded to the corner columns to form a sturdy frame structure. There will also be diagonal braces on the sides and ends of the frame to enhance the overall stability of the frame and prevent the frame from being deformed due to lateral forces during transportation. There are many fixing points on the frame for tying cargo. These fixing points are usually metal rings or hooks welded to the frame, distributed around and in the middle of the platform.

Advantages

Oversized Cargo Transportation

Platform frame containers are not restricted by the walls of the box and can easily carry oversized cargo. For example, large mechanical equipment, such as the blades of wind turbines, may be tens of meters long, which cannot be accommodated by ordinary containers, and the open platform of the platform frame container can provide enough space for such cargo.

Convenient Loading and Unloading

Platform frame containers are mainly loaded and unloaded by lifting, which is very flexible. Various cranes can be used for loading and unloading, such as gantry cranes at ports, shore cranes at docks, and truck cranes at construction sites.

Efficient Space Utilization

When transporting large and irregular cargo, platform frame containers can make full use of space. Because it has no closed box walls, there will be no situation where ordinary containers cannot place large cargo due to the space occupied by the box walls.

Convenient Multimodal Transport

Platform frame containers meet international standard sizes and have advantages in multimodal transport. It can be easily converted between different modes of transportation such as road, rail, and water.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1 What types of cargo can be loaded in a flat frame container?

It can load a variety of large, overweight and irregularly shaped cargoes. Such as large machinery and equipment, building materials, energy equipment and auto parts. These cargoes are beyond the capacity of ordinary containers due to their size or weight, and the open platform and high load-bearing capacity of the flat frame container can meet their transportation needs.

Q2 How to determine how to fix the cargo on the platform frame container?

First, consider the shape, weight and center of gravity of the cargo. For cargo with regular shape and low center of gravity, ropes or steel belts can be used to tie through the fixed points on the frame. For cargo with high center of gravity or irregular shape, in addition to tying, auxiliary fixing equipment such as brackets and struts may be needed to ensure the stability of the cargo. When fixing the cargo, make sure it is firmly fixed to prevent the cargo from shaking, tipping or displacement during transportation.

Q3 How does a platform frame container withstand heavy loads during transit?

The four corner columns of the frame are made of heavy-gauge square or rectangular steel pipes designed to handle immense vertical pressure. Complemented by upper and lower welded beams and diagonal braces along the sides, the structure prevents deformation and maintains structural integrity throughout travel.

Q4 Can platform frame containers be handled by standard port machinery?

Yes, they are engineered to meet international standard dimensions and specifications, enabling smooth handling via gantry cranes, shore cranes, and mobile construction cranes across intermodal transfer points.

Q5 Where are the tie-down points located on the container?

Multiple tie-down rings and welded metal hooks are distributed strategically around the perimeter and across the middle of the platform surface to allow versatile and secure lashing patterns tailored to odd-sized freight.
