Vehicle Types:

Standard Containers (Dryvan): Standard containers are general-purpose containers. All kinds of dry cargo are transported with these containers. Although their dimensions are usually 20′ and 40′, 45′ and also 54′ long containers have started to be used recently.

High Cube Containers: This type of containers are structurally similar to standard containers, but with a height of 2896mm higher than box containers with a height of 2591mm, it is a type of container that allows for more internal volume loading. It is usually produced in 40′. They are used for the transportation of all kinds of dry cargo, light and bulky cargoes and overhead cargoes up to 2.7m in height.

Open Top Containers: Open top containers differ from standard containers in that the roof is completely open. It is closed with a tarpaulin after filling. They are generally 20′ and 40′ long. Since it allows the load to be placed from the top, their natural usage areas are the loads that do not fit through the container door and the loads that need to be handled with crane-like equipment.

Flatrack Containers: Flatrack containers are transportation vehicles consisting of a base platform and two end walls. When necessary, the end walls can be fixed upright or closed and turned into a transportation platform by lying on the base. They are generally produced in 20′ and 40′ sizes. Areas of use are heavy tonnage loads and wide or high overflow loads. It is also used for transportation and stabilization of high volume break bulk loads by creating a platform from two or more flatrack containers.

Platforms (plats): Platforms are structurally only in the form of a base platform. They have no end and side walls. They are suitable for carrying heavy tonnage loads in a small area. Their dimensions are generally produced in 20′ and 40′. Areas of use are gauge loads and heavy tonnage loads.

Ventilated Containers: Ventilated containers are the type of containers that allow natural air circulation through ventilation ducts in the top and base profiles. They are generally produced in 20′ dimensions. The areas of use are the loads that need to be transported in an airy environment. It is commonly used for the transportation of green coffee grains.

Refrigerated (Reefer) Containers: Reefer containers are special insulated containers with a cooling unit inside. They are generally produced in 20′ and 40′ sizes. High cube containers are used for the transportation of light and bulky loads (flowers, fruits, etc.). Their natural use is for food products transported at constant temperatures above or below 0 ºC.

Bulk Containers: Bulk cargo containers are containers with 3 loading hatches on the roof and 2 discharge hatches on the door. They are generally produced in 20′ dimensions. The area of use is the transportation of loads such as animal feed, grain, spices, etc.
