A log cradle container is a specialized, 20-foot (6.10 m) open top and open-ended, intermodal container designed for carrying (or cradling) logs.[1][2] This configuration allows it to be loaded from the open top by means of a loader[3] and the logs can protrude from the ends. Like a regular 20-foot container it has eight twistlocks. From where it is loaded with logs it can be put unto a truck or directly on flat wagon. At the end of the train journey it may be put on the ground or put on a truck to continue the trip.
This container was designed jointly by KiwiRail and a manufacturer.
