As the name implies, bulker shipping containers are used to move or transport bulk merchant products. These shipping containers are designed to allow easy loading and offloading of these products at their destination.
Bulker containers are specially designed to transport unpackaged bulk cargo such as grains, coal, ore, steel coils, cement, sugar, salt, and even sands/stones.
Ports Containers stock Bulker Containers at our depots around the country. These units are built for storing or transporting grain, sugar, or salt for commercial purposes. Though these also have many uses in domestic applications also. Our Bulker Containers come in a high cube height and are also built as pallet-wide units (these are slightly wider than your standard shipping container internally and can fit two pallets side by side). Featuring a number of loading/unloading options including overhead roof hatches, bleed hatches for sampling, and a large front hatch for complete discharge of contents.

These units are not just used to store or transport grain etc. Our customers also buy them for domestic purposes such as storing furniture or other goods. Due to the number of hatches around the containers they can be easily ventilated. Just pop open the roof, door, and wall hatches and you will have maximum airflow around your goods. Bulker Containers are built tough, with strengthened roof panels and steel flooring, decreasing maintenance and repair costs.
