Bulker Shipping Container – Specialized Dry Bulk Transport Solution

The Bulker Container is a modified shipping container specifically engineered for the transport of dry bulk cargo. Unlike standard containers, it comes with roof hatches for top loading and discharge hatches at the bottom or rear for easy unloading.

This design ensures smooth handling of free-flowing materials such as grains, malt, flour, coffee beans, and plastic granules, while maintaining the strength and weather resistance of a standard shipping container.

Bulker containers are widely used in agriculture, food processing, and chemical industries. They help reduce handling costs and ensure safe, contamination-free transport of dry bulk goods.
