Are all containers the same size?
No. These are published carrier fleet examples. Internal dimensions, tare weight and payload depend on the equipment. Doors may be narrower and lower than the internal space. Verify the assigned container's dimensions and CSC plate before shipping.
40ft Standard versus High Cube
In these examples the length is the same, while internal height is 239.5 cm for Standard and 270 cm for High Cube. More volume does not always mean more units: floor area constrains single-layer pallets and payload constrains heavy cargo.
