The Types and Sizes of Containers
To save your cost, normally we are exporting our commercial fridges and freezers by full container loading. The most common container types we use are 20GP and 40HQ containers.

| 20FT General (20GP) | 5.89×2.35×2.36 m | 17,500 kg | 33 m³ |
| 20FT High Cube (20HQ) | 5.89×2.35×2.69 m | 17,500 kg | 37 m³ |
| 40FT General (40GP) | 12.05×2.35×2.36 m | 25,000 kg | 66 m³ |

Why do We Advise You Order by FCL (Full Container Loading)
Rather Than LCL (Less Than Container Loading)?
Reefer Container
Reefer Container is a short form for Refrigerated Container.
Simply put, reefer containers are big fridges that are used to transport temperature-controlled cargoes. Some cargoes may need to be shipped chilled or frozen or in controlled temperatures. Reefer containers have the ability to maintain the cargo at the required temperatures for the duration of the transit.
If you have demand for reefer container, we can arrange for you.
