Container Standards Library Guide
This library is a visual, ISO 6346 / CSC-verified reference of standard intermodal container equipment — internal/external dimensions, door openings, payload and tare weight, and typical use cases for every common box type.
How to Use It:
Use the Search Equipment bar to jump straight to a type (e.g. "40HC", "Reefer", "Open Top", "Tank"), or click a Quick Specs Benchmark badge at the top to filter by category.
Browse the equipment grid — each card shows a schematic, headline CBM capacity, and payload for that container type.
Click any card (or its View Details button) to open the inspection modal with full External/Internal dimensions, Door Opening size, Max Payload, Pallet Configuration, and Tare Weight.
Use Print Spec Sheet inside the inspection modal to generate a clean, printable specification sheet for a container type — useful for booking confirmations or client documentation.
Practical Techniques:
Check the Door Opening dimensions before booking equipment for oversized or machinery cargo — a load can fit the internal cube but still fail to physically pass through the container doors.
Use the Pallet Configuration figure (e.g. how many EUR-pallets a box holds) to decide between a standard 40GP and a 40HC when cargo is palletized but not stackable to full internal height — the extra cube of an HC is wasted if you can't use the height.
Compare Tare Weight against Max Payload when your cargo is dense (metals, stone, machinery) — a heavy load can hit the container's weight limit long before the volume is full, so choosing a lighter-tare unit like a 20DV over a larger box can free up more usable payload.
Cross-check the Reefer temperature range against your commodity's required carrying temperature before booking — reefer units have narrower cargo-worthy volume than dry equipment of the same nominal size due to insulation and airflow clearance.
Keep the printed spec sheets on file for customs and carrier documentation — declared container tare weight is required for accurate VGM (Verified Gross Mass) submissions under the SOLAS container weight verification rule.

Operational Loading Notes & CSC Compliance:
Dimensions and payload capacities are standard reference specifications according to ISO 1496-1 and SeaRates benchmark records. Exact tare weight and internal measurements may vary slightly (±1%) by container manufacturer and shipping line fleet batch. Road gross vehicle weight limits (GVW) apply during inland drayage transport.
