Bulk Container
Bulk
(or bulk cargo) containers have three loading hatches in
the roof, each of a diameter of approx. 455 mm (1 3/4').
The distance between the hatches (center to center) is
1.83 m (6'). On the door side, there are two discharge
hatches, which are sometimes equipped with short
discharge tubes for guiding the bulk cargo.
Alternatively, two unloading hatches may be mounted in
the doorways, for emptying the containers.
Such containers may also be used for general cargo. Lashing rings are mounted in the top side rails for securing the cargo. Some bulk containers are equipped with forklift pockets, which allow handling by forklift trucks.
