June 26th, 2009 | 
Author: I am often being asked to give details of size and weight of shipping containers, so I thought it would be useful to attach a table giving the details.

These are the most common sizes of used shipping containers although there are, other more specialist containers such as flat racks etc that might be of interest to some of you and which we will feature on another occasion.
Shipping Containers - Specialist Transportation
Yesterday we were talking about container dimensions for the most commonly used shipping containers. This prompted several of you to ask me about what other containers were used for transportation. Today’s post therefore, features three of the specialist containers I mentioned yesterday.
Flat racks or platforms are ISO containers that do not have side walls and are used to transport heavy machinery. They often have collapsible ends for ease of transportation when not in use. They are often very popular for over sized pallets as well.
• Open top containers are shaped like a box and can be loaded from the top or end. Their main purpose is to carry heavy, tall or hard-to-load materials such as coal or grain. They are basically steel containers that have a tilt at the bottom and a tarpaulin cover and can be seen quite commonly on trains.
• Finally tank containers or bulktainers which are used to transport liquid or bulk materials. They are built to the same standard dimensions as other ISO containers but are cylindrical vessels mounted in a rectangular steel framework.
These then are some more of what seems to be an infinite variety of shipping containers that you might comonly see when travelling by road, sea or train.

All refrigerated containers vary slightly in their actual dimensions but the above table gives a good general guide to base your calculations on.
Popular models of refrigerated shipping containers include carrier, thermoking, daikin and mitsibushi. Parts for these are readily available in the UK.
