- The advantages of 40 Foot Containers
Standard 40 foot containers, equal to 2 x TEUs, are the most common size of shipping container you will see on a cargo ship. They sports excellent spots for cargo securing thanks to their internal lashing rings and rails, preventing storage from being displaced during transportation. Containers like these are highly portable and come standard with forklift pockets, a gooseneck tunnel, corner castings and grappler pockets for handling. They are also wide enough for a forklift, with the assistance of a ramp, to drive into for loading/unloading. Be sure to use a heavy duty forklift when handling a 40 foot container.
