UNIT45 upgrades its intermodal 45ft container range

Two containers will be featured: a dry freight unit coated with a water-based paint and bamboo flooring, and a diesel-electric reefer unit with a 2,500 kg capacity rear door tail lift with greatly simplifies loading whilst still trailer-mounted or when a suitable loading dock is not available.

According to the company, the UNIT45 33 pallet diesel-electric reefer unit is proving very popular with European intermodal customers as it is able to operate on rail over long distances from, for example, Rotterdam to Italy, Spain, Poland, Romania, Greece, Russia etc.

UNIT45 says that water-based coatings will now be available on all its containers as an option as will lightweight bamboo floors that do not require treating with polyurethane (PU) coatings. However, traditional coatings will still be available to those who prefer them as will the more traditional white wood flooring treated with a PU coating.
