CONTAINERS (FCL)
When it comes to shipping goods by container, it's important to understand the different container sizes available. Here's a quick overview of three common container sizes:
20' Foot Container
40' Foot Container
This is the most common container size, measuring 40 feet in length, 8 feet in width, and 8 feet 6 inches in height. It can hold up to 20 standard pallets and is ideal for shipping larger quantities of goods.
40' Foot HQ Container
Similar in size to the standard 40' container, the 40' HQ (or High Cube) container is 9 feet 6 inches in height, providing extra space for taller goods. It can hold up to 20 standard pallets and is commonly used for shipping larger quantities of goods that require extra height.
Understanding these container sizes can help businesses choose the right container for their shipping needs and ensure that their goods are transported safely and efficiently.
