Standard Container

A freight container that is fully enclosed, weatherproof, and equipped with rigid walls, a roof, and a floor. It has at least one end with doors and is designed to transport a wide variety of cargo. This is the most common container type, ideal for shipping dry goods packed in boxes, cartons, cases, bags, pallets, and drums. With proper adjustments, it can also be used for certain types of bulk cargo.

High Cube Container

High Cube containers are specifically designed to offer extra height, providing more internal space compared to standard containers. With their increased height, these containers are ideal for shippers needing to maximize their load capacity. The extra space allows for the transport of taller items or additional goods that wouldn’t fit in a standard container. High Cube containers contribute to more efficient and cost-effective shipping solutions.

Open Top Container

Open Top containers are similar to general-purpose containers but lack a rigid roof, featuring instead a flexible, movable, or removable cover. Open Top containers are particularly useful for items that cannot be easily loaded through standard container doors. These containers often come equipped with removable roof bows, tarpaulins, and hinged doors on both sides or a removable header above the doors, enhancing their versatility for various types of cargo.

Flat Rack Container

Flat Rack containers are designed for heavy, bulky, and oversized cargo, including items that exceed standard height or width limits. Unlike fixed-end types, collapsible Flat Racks have end walls that fold down, with some models featuring flush-folding walls that lie flat against the base. The sturdy base of Flat Racks is often built to handle extremely heavy loads, with some models tested to carry up to 45 tons. The collapsible ends also make them suitable for transporting over-length cargo.
