40ft Bolster Shipping Containers
The 40ft Bolster Shipping Container, also known as a platform shipping container, is built for transporting long and heavy cargo that cannot fit inside a standard 40ft Shipping Container. Across the 12-metre reinforced platform, lashing points run along both sides to tie down machinery, vehicles, and large loads for transit. 40ft Bolster Containers are easily stacked when not in use, and designed to be crane-lifted via the ISO corner castings.
It’s the choice for heavy civil operators moving oversized freight. Container Traders stocks 40ft Bolster Shipping Containers for sale across our Sydney, Brisbane, and Perth depots with Australia-wide delivery.
