Container Dimensions

Types of Shipping Containers

Shipping containers play a vital role in international transport, carrying goods by sea and overland. Their various sizes and types make it possible to accommodate everything from general cargo to heavy equipment. Our range includes standard sizes, such as 20-foot and 40-foot containers, as well as other specialised models. Containers are most often used for sea freight and for transporting heavy equipment by road or rail. Common types include standard containers, High Cube containers and specialised flat rack containers designed for oversized loads.

Container Types

Container dimensions vary depending on the model and its intended use, allowing you to choose a suitable unit for the goods you need to transport or store. When planning storage for unusually sized items, remember to check the container’s internal dimensions. Carefully assessing the available internal space helps you make efficient use of every centimetre.

Ventilation Vents

These provide ventilation, regulate internal pressure and help prevent condensation.
