The 40ft General Purpose Container is not only durable but also highly cost-efficient, as its larger capacity allows businesses to maximize shipping loads and reduce freight costs per unit.
It can carry up to 26–28 tonnes of cargo depending on the container’s tare weight and transport regulations.
The main difference is capacity. A 40ft container has almost double the space of a 20ft container, but both have similar maximum weight limits due to road and shipping restrictions.
Standard pallets (1.2m × 1m), about 20–21 pallets, and Euro pallets (1.2m × 0.8m), about 25–26 pallets
