General purpose, high cube, and side opening shipping containers
The most common container types, designed for durability and versatility. High cube containers offer extra height, while side opening containers allow easier access for wide or bulky cargo.
- Open top shipping containers – Open top containers are ideal for bulky or heavy cargo that cannot fit through standard doors. Loaded mainly by crane, they are built from strong corrugated steel and commonly used for transporting long, oversized, or very heavy items such as machinery, large vehicles, steel, and industrial materials.
- Flat rack containers – Flat rack containers are used for oversized or heavy loads that cannot fit in enclosed containers. They are suitable for machinery, vehicles, timber, metal sheets, and boats, and are designed to meet international standards for easy handling at ports using forklifts or cranes.
- Insulated and refrigerated containers – These containers are used for goods that must be kept cold, frozen, or at a controlled temperature. Refrigerated containers use powered cooling systems, while insulated containers rely solely on insulation to maintain temperature, making them suitable for short-distance or less temperature-sensitive transport.
