The idea of moving something so big & heavy might seem like a complex & daunting process. However, knowing what to expect & how container delivery works can take the mystery out of the equation, helping you feel every step of the way.
Shipping containers can be delivered in several ways, depending on factors like size & weight of the unit, location, and whether special handling equipment is needed. The right delivery method is key to a smooth & hassle-free process.
Container sourcing and procurement involves identifying, selecting, and acquiring shipping containers for various purposes, whether it's for storage, transportation, or specialized applications like container homes or retail spaces.
This process requires understanding container types, sizes, condition grades, and reliable suppliers. It also involves negotiating prices, managing logistics, and ensuring compliance with relevant regulations.
Once on a ship, reefer containers must perform flawlessly to ensure that the cargo reaches its destination without deterioration in quality that could arise from malfunctioning in the reefer unit. Pre-Trip Inspections (PTI) on reefers is a mandatory procedure to ensure that all parameters are working before the container is handed over to the client for loading the cargo.
Regular reefer maintenance guarantees optimum performance & ensures extended serviceable life.
What Sizes Do Shipping Containers Come in?
Standard storage containers come in 10-, 20- and 40-foot varieties. Most individuals and companies will find the perfect unit in one of these sizes. While larger containers see more use in shipping, these models also work for self-storage. So, whether you want to store raw materials or construction equipment, these containers afford all the space you need. Standard shipping container sizes include:
10-Foot (3m) Shipping Container
Ten-foot or 3 meter containers are the least popular size. Because of their small dimensions, 10-foot containers meet the needs of individuals more than construction teams or landscaping companies. At most, this shipping container size holds the contents of a one-bedroom apartment. They are also popular among portable storage companies.
20-Foot (6m) Shipping Container
Twenty-foot containers are some of the most common models. Compared to a 40-foot container, their smaller size makes them better suited for on-site storage. For example, businesses that need to store tools or raw materials on a job site will typically use 20-foot containers.
40-Foot (12m) Shipping Container
Forty-foot containers suit the needs of large teams and shipping companies. Freight carriers on cargo ships are designed around the weight requirements of a 40-foot container so they can ship more at once. Their expanded storage space provides enough room for machines like forklifts and their attachments.
