SHIPPING CONTAINER DIMENSIONS FOR PROPER MOVING

Standard containers measure 20'x 8'x8'6", but 40' and 45' containers have become just as popular, made from 4mm thick steel and square tubing frames. For the container sides, 14 gauge corrugated rolled steel is used. The steel gives rigidity to the shipping container. The construction of the container floor is the same 4mm steel tubing used to create the frame. A 28mm plywood floor is screwed to the cross braces of the container.

The corner posts of a container handle up to 153,000 pounds when as many as nine containers can safely be stacked atop each other, leaving a 7'2"x7'6" door on one end of the stack. A standard empty 20' container weighs around 5,500 pounds and has a maximum payload capacity of 65,000 pounds of cargo.

Containers must be sturdy enough to carry massive payloads of construction equipment and supplies, heavy machinery, and food items in bulk.

Heavy Haulers is a leading shipping container mover company because we have the knowledge and experience to transport your container efficiently. Based on the dimensions and weight, we'll pair you with the best tractor-trailer, cranes, pilot cars, escorts, or ships available to move your container. Call now! (800) 908-6206
