Ventilated containers –
Generally designed as a general purpose container but with added full length ventilation grills at the top and bottom of the side walls of the unit. They were primarily designed for the coffee trade but are equally suitable for other cargoes, which require a high degree of ventilation during shipping.
Open-sided containers –
These units are constructed with removable steel grate sides which are covered by poly vinyl chloride (PVC) sheeting. The side grates allow adequate ventilation when it is used to carry perishable goods and/or livestock. Such containers permit unrestricted loading and discharging with the grates removed.
