In view of the problems of high transportation cost, low loading and unloading efficiency, poor reinforcement in the transportation of glass and coiled steel, combined with the transportation of tubular goods such as aluminum rods and logs, a safe, stable and recyclable 20ft multifunctional platform container is designed, which is based on the “Code for Steel Structure Design”. The overall structure of the 20ft multifunctional platform container consists of two parts: the bottom “platform” and the upper “A-frame”, which has three functions of loading coiled steel, tubular goods and bare glass. In addition, the feasibility of loading cargo on platform container was checked in accordance with the requirements of the “Rules for Loading and Reinforcement of Railway Cargo”. The platform container is constructed and carried on the finite element analysis by using the software named SolidWorks, its stress analysis and displacement analysis results are in line with relevant regulations. The designed multifunctional platform container can improve the loading and unloading efficiency of glass and coiled steel transportation, save loading reinforcement materials and transportation costs, having a promising market prospect.
