LOADING AND SHIPPING DATA
OCEAN DRY CONTAINERS
The equipment we usually employ for our exports consists of the following dry containers.
- 20' with a payload of up to 28.3 metric tonnes
- 40' - both 8'6" and 9'6" high cube - with a payload of up to 30.4 metric tonnes
We usually recommend going with a 40’ High Cube because it offers the best cost per cubic foot.

Typical loading capacities for this type of containers can vary greatly whether you desire to have your merchandise “floor-loaded” or on pallets (skids). Depending on the form of loading the number of units we can put in one of these ocean containers is as follows:

FULL TRAILER LOAD (FTL) LAND FREIGHT If you choose to do your own freight we can place the cargo wherever and whenever you want. Just give us the address and we will deliver it to your warehouse or freight forwarder. Trailers can only be loaded with pallets (no hand loading available) so keep this in mind when loading your ocean container. A Full Trailer Load (26-28 pallets) can usually fit in a hand-loaded ocean container. If you plan to ship your cargo in pallets it is recommended that you don’t order more than 24 pallets.
