Types of Containers

Dry Van or dry container

They are the standard containers and the most used on the market. Of basic construction, metallic, hermetically sealed and without refrigeration or ventilation. They have different sizes: 20′, 40′ or 40′ High Cube. The High Cube category, on the other hand, provides a 13% increase in internal cubic capacity and is intended for heavier loads (coal, tobacco, etc.).

It is suitable for any type of dry cargo: pallets, boxes, bags, machines, furniture, etc.

Reefer or refrigerated container

Reefer containers provide a temperature controlled environment. They have a power supply that connects to energy sources during transport. This allows products to be transported at a constant temperature throughout the entire journey. You have the possibility to lower the temperature from -18° to 30°. There are models of 20 and 40 feet, in addition to the High Cube.

This type of container is especially recommended for transporting food or products that need a low storage temperature.

Open Top
Same size as above, but open at the top as they have a removable canvas roof. The goods may stand out but, in that case, supplements are paid depending on how much load has stopped being charged for this excess.

These containers facilitate the transport of bulky cargoes.

Flat Rack

Just like the Open top, but also lack side walls and even, in some cases, front and back walls. They are used for atypical loads and pay supplements in the same way as Open Tops.

Open Side
Same size as standard 20' or 40' containers, with the difference that they only have one side opening. This makes it possible to transport very long goods, the dimensions of which prevent them from being loaded through the rear door.

Tank or tank container
Used for the transport of liquids, from hazardous chemicals such as toxic, corrosive, highly combustible, as well as oils, milk, beer, wine, mineral water, etc.. They have the same dimensions as a Dry Ban, but their structure is different, as they include a polyethylene tank inside.
