Choose a container to compare its features and reference specifications.
Dry containers are enclosed, weather-resistant boxes for general cargo that does not require temperature control. They are commonly used for packaged consumer goods, electronics, machinery parts and other dry products.
They are usually loaded through doors at one end. Compare your cargo dimensions with the door opening as well as the interior space, and check weight limits before choosing a 20′ or 40′ container.
Container specifications
Use these example specifications to plan your shipment. Actual equipment can differ by manufacturer, operator and configuration.
Measurements and rated payload depend on the individual container. Confirm the actual container, door opening, load limits and local road restrictions before booking. Figures are examples from Hapag-Lloyd specifications and 40′ specifications; they do not confirm the availability of this equipment on a particular LEIN route.
High cube dry containers offer extra internal height compared with standard-height containers. They can be useful for lightweight, bulky or taller packaged goods when the additional vertical space helps with loading.
A 40′ high cube is a common option. Check the door opening, load plan and actual payload as well as any route or road-height restrictions before booking.

Flat rack containers have a reinforced base and end structures, with open sides and top. They are commonly used for heavy machinery, pipes and other cargo that needs to be loaded from the side or above.
Some designs have collapsible ends. For oversized or heavy cargo, provide packed dimensions, weight, lifting points and the proposed loading method so that equipment, securing and route clearances can be assessed.

Dimensions are the cited carrier examples for flat racks; confirm load distribution, lashing, overhang and clearance for the actual equipment. Confirm the actual container, door opening, load limits and local road restrictions before booking. Figures are examples from OOCL specifications; they do not confirm the availability of this equipment on a particular LEIN route.
Open top containers are loaded through an opening in the roof and usually also have doors at one end. They may suit machinery or other tall cargo that is difficult to load through a standard container door.
The roof opening can be smaller than the interior, and covering arrangements vary by equipment. Confirm cargo height, lifting requirements and whether any over-height load can be accepted on your route.

Measurements and rated payload depend on the individual container. Confirm the actual container, door opening, load limits and local road restrictions before booking. Figures are examples from DSV specifications; they do not confirm the availability of this equipment on a particular LEIN route.
Reefer containers are insulated units with refrigeration equipment for goods that need temperature control, such as suitable food products and other temperature-sensitive cargo. The refrigeration system requires a power supply during transport and handling.
Share the commodity, required temperature and any ventilation requirements in advance. Packing and loading should allow the necessary airflow and respect the equipment load line; settings and arrangements depend on the cargo.

Height is measured to the load line. Reefer equipment requires airflow and a suitable power supply; confirm temperature settings and cargo requirements. Confirm the actual container, door opening, load limits and local road restrictions before booking. Figures are examples from Maersk specifications; they do not confirm the availability of this equipment on a particular LEIN route.
Platform containers consist of a reinforced flat base without fixed sides, ends or a roof. They may be used for exceptionally large or heavy machinery and other cargo that cannot be accommodated in a conventional container.
The cargo must be assessed individually for weight distribution, lifting and securing. Send its packed dimensions, weight, center of gravity and lifting points so that equipment and route suitability can be checked.

A platform has no fixed walls or roof. Check cargo overhang, lashing, load distribution and lifting points for each shipment. Confirm the actual container, door opening, load limits and local road restrictions before booking. Figures are examples from DSV specifications; they do not confirm the availability of this equipment on a particular LEIN route.
Garments on hangers containers are fitted with hanging arrangements for suitable apparel, allowing clothing to travel on hangers rather than being packed flat in cartons. Depending on the equipment, bars, strings or a combination can be used.
Capacity depends on garment length, spacing and the selected hanging system. Share the garment type, quantity and packing requirements so the available setup and route can be confirmed.

The hanging system takes space; garment capacity depends on the bar or string arrangement and the size of each garment.
