Unit48.com containers

Unit48.com is an Australian  subsidiary of the Dutch based Unit45.com container company. In association with  Freightquip Australia, they now provide both curtainsided and drybox 48' units for the Australian market. Unit45 is Europe's leading innovator in the creation and manufacturer of container solutions.
In Europe, where the 45' unit is more common, as it provides better specifications in the loading of pallet cargo, while here in Australia the 48' is more common.
I first saw a photo of one on Wagonfreak's blog back in June. A chance today, to get out and see 7MP7 Trailerail, and there they were. About 10% of the train.

    Great shot of a dry box. I haven't seen these before! Seems they are the same design as the newer PN dry boxes.

    Dod you get the code and numbers for the dry boxes?

    Cheers

    Hi Chris,
    The Code was PVDU, and the numbers of the two I managed to photograph as they whizzed past were 480012 5, and 480083 0.

    Thanks Andrew. That would explain why the curtain siders are in the 485000 series.

    Cheers
