Frequently Asked Questions

Almost anything you would normally store in a standard container can also be housed in a bulker container—including palletised goods. In addition, bulker units feature specialised hatches in the roof, doors and end wall, making them ideal for fast loading and unloading of loose food products such as wheat, grain and sugar.

In addition to multiple hatches designed for fast loading, unloading and sampling of loose food products, these units are finished with food-grade steel flooring that is smooth, hygienic and easy to clean between loads.

Constructed entirely from high-strength steel, these containers are exceptionally robust, with a reinforced roof engineered to support the access hatches. Their pallet-wide design also delivers a larger cubic capacity, allowing you to move more product in every load.

Produce is loaded quickly and efficiently through the roof hatches, while bleed hatches in the doors allow easy sampling of the cargo at any time. When it is time to discharge, a full-width front hatch opens to release the entire load in one smooth movement as the container is tilted, dramatically speeding up turnaround.

Absolutely. While they can be used for a variety of applications, bulker containers truly excel when storing and transporting loose agricultural products such as grain, rice and other food-grade commodities.

Once emptied, the steel walls, ceiling and floor can be thoroughly scrubbed with approved food-safe cleaners, rinsed down and left to dry—so the container is clean, hygienic and ready for the next load.
