TYPES OF SHIPPING CONTAINERS

Shipping containers are mainly used in freight and road freight transport. There are several types of containers that are specialized for certain types of goods.
Due to the maximum permitted transport limits in the respective countries, it is not always possible to use the maximum load capacity of the container. Individual container dimensions may vary slightly for specific shipping companies. If you are in doubt or approaching the limits, please contact us.
