Also known as general purpose containers, these can fit most of your common needs.
A majority of the standard containers are made of steel. They are designed and constructed for transportation of general cargo on sea, rail and land and are able to withstand extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C (-40°F) to 70°C (158°F) without affecting their strength and water-tightness.
| 20' Standard Steel Container |
Top |
| 20' standard steel containers are closed weather-tight containers that are suitable for any general cargo. Most of the 20’ standard steel containers have a payload capacity of up to 28,160 kg, close to the payload capacity of most 40' standard steel containers. This makes 20' standard steel containers especially suitable for high-density, heavyweight cargo. |

| 40' High Cube Steel Container |
Top |
| 40’ high cube containers are suitable for all general cargo transportation. They are almost identical to the 40’ standard containers, except that they have more cubic capacity as they are one foot taller. Thus, 40’ high cube containers are especially suitable for voluminous cargo. The ISO standard payload capacity is 26,760 kg with a gross weight of 30,480 kg. Most 40’ high cube containers |
|
| have a payload capacity of 28,550 kg with a gross weight of 32,500 kg. |
