Bell Bulk 30' containers and 20' tanktainers

[iarnrod]

Does anyone produce transfers for Bell Lines Bulk 30' containers or 20' tanktainers or can anyone point me in the direction of photos of these that show the finer details that would enable transfers to be produced?

 

Have found a few photos so far but not clear enough to decipher the small writing unfortunately. Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

 

Only good photo I am aware of (Arran or Tom might have more) is on Martyn's SmugMug photo site.

Hello.

 

Additional image here - http://www.prefixlist.com/images/old_prefixes/resizedimages/belu.jpg- with branding not seen on the Humble Box pages.

 

Hope this helps.

Interesting image dvdlcs. Never knew Bell had 45' containers. Can't imagine they would have been too common as first photo that I have seen of them. Another branding to add to the list. Thanks for the heads up.

We created our 30ft Bell Bulk transfers, in the end we only used the text ones and painted the logo. The pot of paint labelled 'Bell end purple' never gets un funny.

I think this may have been a 13.6m Swap-Body, rather than an ISO box; there are lifting pockets on the lower edge of the side, as well as Twistlocks, and there looks to be one of the yellow data panels aswell.

Bell used to send a lot of stuff to mainland Europe via the Channel Tunnel, back in the late 1990s. I think it was some time before 45' maritime boxes arrived. We'd sometimes get entire trains of Bell's boxes- presumably from Seaforth.
