Container Dimensions

Container Dimensions refer to the precise measurements of a shipping container’s length, width, and height. In logistics, the most critical numbers are the Internal Dimensions (usable space for cargo) and the Door Aperture (the maximum size for entry). Understanding these measurements ensures your cargo fits securely and maximizes space utilization.

1. Standard Containers

Designed for general cargo such as pallets, cartons, and boxes. This includes the industry-standard 20ft, 40ft, and 40ft High Cube dry vans.

For the majority of general cargo, “Dry Van” containers are the industry standard. These units are fully enclosed and suitable for cartons, pallets, sacks, and general manufacturing goods.

2. Special Containers

Designed for specific needs, such as temperature control (Reefers) or oversized cargo that requires top/side loading (Open Top & Flat Rack).

When your cargo is “Out of Gauge” (OOG), perishable, or too heavy for a standard floor, specialized equipment is required. These containers feature unique loading mechanisms (top or side loading) or temperature control systems.
