Product Details
Product Introduction: 20‑Foot Offshore Open‑Top Container
I. Product Overview: An "Open‑Top Heavy‑Load Transport Compartment" for Oversized Offshore Equipment
The 20‑Foot Offshore Open‑Top Container is a dedicated storage and transport unit purpose‑built for extra‑tall / oversized equipment on offshore oil platforms and nearshore operation vessels. With its top‑open design, 15.6‑tonne extreme payload, and marine‑grade anti‑corrosion treatment, it perfectly solves the problem of conventional closed containers being unable to load over‑height and large irregular‑shaped equipment – making it the "specialist tool" for transferring large platform equipment.
-
Core Advantages: The open‑top design allows large and over‑height equipment to be loaded directly from above without height restrictions, ensuring convenient and efficient handling while avoiding cargo impact damage.
-
Heavy‑Duty Payload: Tare weight of only 4,400 kg, maximum payload of 15,600 kg, carrying large quantities of oversized equipment per trip and significantly improving platform transfer efficiency.
-
Platform‑Grade Adaptability: Standard lifting corner castings and double‑door design interface with platform cranes and forklifts, enabling multiple loading/unloading and securing methods.
II. Product Features and Applications: Open‑Top Design, Zero‑Restriction Transport for Oversized Equipment
✨ Core Features
-
Open‑Top Design, Direct Lifting of Oversized Equipment: The container has no roof, allowing over‑height equipment, large irregular components, and over‑length pipes to be loaded directly from above by crane – eliminating the need for slow side‑door insertion, ensuring efficient handling, and avoiding cargo impact damage.
-
Exceptional Payload‑to‑Weight Ratio, Doubling Single‑Trip Transfer Efficiency: Manufactured from high‑strength low‑alloy steel; tare weight of only 4,400 kg, gross weight up to 20,000 kg, and effective payload of 15,600 kg – significantly increasing single‑trip transport volume and reducing platform transfer frequency.
-
Marine‑Grade Anti‑Corrosion Treatment, Rock‑Solid in Harsh Environments: Heavy‑duty anti‑corrosion coating system resists high salt‑fog, high humidity, and strong corrosive conditions, ensuring long‑term resistance to rust and corrosion, and safeguarding equipment inside.
-
Double Doors + Open‑Top Dual Loading, Adapting to Various Operations: Supports loading oversized equipment via the open top and smaller items through side doors – flexibly adapting to different handling methods and meeting platform operational workflow requirements.
-
Extreme Environment Adaptability, Usable at ‑40°C: Manufactured with low‑temperature‑resistant steel and specialised sealing processes, capable of stable operation in temperatures as low as ‑40°C to ‑20°C – suitable for polar and cold‑sea region platform operations.
🛠️ Typical Application Scenarios
-
Transfer of Oversized Equipment on Offshore Platforms: Transport of over‑height equipment, large tools, and irregular spare parts on drilling and production platforms.
-
Transport of Over‑Length Pipes / Sections: Over‑length pipes, structural sections, and cable reels can be directly lifted through the open top without height restrictions.
-
Material Transport on Nearshore Operation Vessels: Transport of large materials on engineering and supply vessels; direct crane loading for efficient transfer between vessels and platforms.
-
Temporary Storage of Large Items on Platforms: Temporary storage of oversized equipment during routine operations and maintenance; the open‑top design facilitates crane‑based access, with optional tarpaulin covers for temporary weather protection.
