Palletwide Containers

Palletwide container is designed to maximize cubic capacity and pallet capability. It is constructed similarly to 40′ General Purpose Container. But there is a difference and this is the bigger width. This feature allows stowing into it two 1200×1000 pallets or three 1200×800 pallets. So, 40’PW can be loaded with 30 1200×800 pallets, 45″PW with 33, 40′ general Purpose Container only with 25 pallets. The payload of the 45’PW equals the payload of the semi-trailer. These containers are often used in short sea shipping (European destinations) to compete with road transport.
