Floor loads:
A container floor is capable of carrying a forklift truck with a maximum axle load of 5,460 kg (12,037 lbs), if the contact area per wheel is at

Concentrated loads:
Concentrated loads are loads that are not evenly distributed over the full length of the floor when stowing heavy cargo in containers; as
opposed to flats or platforms, special care has to be taken that concentrated loads do not exceed the strength of the bottom construction of the container.

 

The maximum spread load should not exceed:
- For 20' containers: 4.8 tons (10,582 lbs) per running meter in length, and 7.6 tons (16,755 lbs) for steel floor containers only
