Features

Smooth-Wall Interior - Royal Wolf’s smooth-wall 20ft bulk containers are purpose-built for transporting sensitive goods such as paper reels, food products, and packaged commodities. The smooth internal lining reduces snagging risks, making it ideal for items that require clean handling and low-friction surfaces. The smooth walls simplify internal cleaning, helping maintain hygiene standards.

Pallet-Friendly Width - Available in pallet wide configurations, Royal Wolf bulk containers are designed to fit two standard CHEP pallets side-by-side. The internal width of up to 2,422mm allows for efficient pallet loading without wasted space, which streamlines warehousing, loading dock, and intermodal workflows. These units are made to meet Australian transportation standards, which makes sure they work with local logistics systems.

Weatherproof and Long-Lasting - The 20ft bulker is made of marine-grade corten steel and is built to last in Australia's toughest conditions. Whether used for seasonal warehousing, industrial projects, or remote logistics, its robust sealing and structure ensure goods are protected from water ingress, UV exposure, and pests.

Strong Steel Construction - Royal Wolf containers are engineered for strength and stackability. The bulkers can handle up to 30,480 kg gross weight thanks to heavy-duty fork pockets and 20-foot chain lift positions. These ISO-compliant units meet international shipping standards and can be shipped by rail, road, or sea, even when they are stacked.

Multipurpose Bulk Storage - From bulk cargo and intermediated materials to seasonal inventory overflow, Royal Wolf’s 20ft bulk containers serve a broad range of industrial and commercial applications. Trusted by freight forwarders, construction firms, and logistics operators, they provide reliable on-site storage and freight-ready solutions for volume efficiency and long-term use.

20ft Smooth-Wall Bulk Container FAQs

What is a 20ft bulk container used for?

The 20ft bulk container from United Rentals, featuring Royal Wolf’s trusted engineering, is ideal for transporting and storing bulk cargo such as grains, minerals, or intermediated bulk commodities. Commonly used by freight forwarders, it supports bulk shipping in a secure, efficient containerised format.

Is this container suitable for international and domestic freight?

Yes. Royal Wolf’s 20ft bulkers are designed to meet the rigours of both international shipping and domestic freight networks. They are widely used in intermodal logistics due to their water-tight construction, corten steel frame, and standard ISO sizing.

What are the dimensions and capacity of the 20ft bulk container?
  • External: 6.06m (L) x 2.44m (W) x 2.59m (H)
  • Internal: 5.90m (L) x 2.35m (W) x 2.39m (H)
  • Volume: 33.2 cubic metres
  • Tare Weight: Approx. 2,220kg

A 20ft high cube version is also available for additional vertical capacity.

Can the 20ft bulker be top loaded?

Yes, these containers are designed for top loading, making them ideal for intermediated bulk operations that rely on chutes or conveyor systems for filling.

Are palletised freight or standard cargo compatible with bulk containers?

While bulkers are optimised for loose cargo, Royal Wolf also offers pallet wide and cube pallet wide options for standard cargo, enabling freight forwarders to load CHEP pallets side-by-side efficiently.

What are the benefits of a 20ft container over a 40ft container?

Compared to a 40ft container, a 20ft unit offers improved handling on tight-access sites, reduced tare weight, and better cost saving for small to mid-volume shipments. However, for high-volume bulk shipping containers, 40ft options are available.

Can I use the container for general storage as well?

Absolutely. Many customers use these units as storage containers when they are not being used for freight. They are built to last and protect raw materials or equipment from the weather.

What delivery options are available?

United Rentals offers flexible container delivery options, including sideloader, Hiab crane, and tilt tray. We provide the safest and most efficient method based on your site layout.

Can this container be customised?

Yes. Our bulkers can be modified to include internal lighting, power outlets, ramps, shelving, and better ventilation. These changes improve usability for storage or remote worksite operations.

Are other sizes available, such as 10ft containers?

Yes. In addition to 20ft models, we offer compact 8ft and 10ft containers and larger 40ft containers across a range of applications, from dry cargo and refrigerated units to site accommodation and workshop modules.

What grades are available for sale or hire?

United Rentals offers 20ft bulk containers in new, one-trip, and used grades. All containers meet strict quality standards, offering cost-effective solutions for short-term or long-term use.
