    Imagine a huge port where all the tall metal giants are waiting in silence to start their next trip across the seas. Shipping Containers Hobart are the unsung heroes of global trade, facilitating the movement of goods and commodities around the world with remarkable efficiency. 

    However, shipping containers can be used for many other creative things besides just transporting goods. You will learn everything you need to know about shipping containers in this guide. 

    Types of Shipping Containers

    Standard Dry Containers

    Most of the time, standard dry containers are used to ship goods around the world. They come in different lengths, but most are between 20 and 40 feet. Because these containers are made of steel and have solid walls, they protect cargo from both weather and theft while it is being shipped. 

    High Cube Containers

    High cube containers are similar to standard dry containers but have extra vertical space. They are taller, with a height of about 9.5 feet compared to the standard 8 feet of standard containers. This additional height makes them ideal for transporting bulky or oversized cargo that wouldn’t fit in standard containers. 

    Refrigerated Containers

    Refrigerated containers, also known as reefers, are specially designed to transport perishable goods that require temperature-controlled environments. These containers are equipped with built-in refrigeration units that maintain specific temperature ranges, typically between -30°C to +30°C (-22°F to +86°F). 

    Shipping Container Size Chart

    10-foot Container

    A 10-foot shipping container is a smaller-sized container commonly used for shipping goods. It measures approximately 10 feet in length, 8 feet in width, and 8 feet in height. These containers are suitable for transporting smaller loads or for limited-space applications. 

    Despite their smaller size, they offer secure storage and transportation for various types of cargo, including household goods, machinery parts, and construction materials. 

    20-foot Container (Standard TEU)

    A 20-foot shipping container, also known as a Twenty-Foot Equivalent Unit (TEU), is the standard size used for shipping cargo worldwide. It measures approximately 20 feet in length, 8 feet in width, and 8 feet in height. 

    These containers provide ample space for transporting goods and are commonly used for a wide range of cargo, including consumer goods, electronics, and automotive parts. They are versatile, cost-effective, and easy to handle, making them the most widely used type of shipping container in the industry.

    30-foot Container

    A 30-foot shipping container is less common than the standard 20-foot and 40-foot containers but offers an intermediate-size option for shipping cargo. It measures approximately 30 feet in length, 8 feet in width, and 8 feet in height. 

    These containers provide more space than a 20-foot container but are smaller and more maneuverable than a 40-foot container. They are suitable for transporting larger volumes of goods while still being manageable for transportation and handling.

    40-foot Container (Standard FEU)

    A 40-foot shipping container, also known as a Forty-Foot Equivalent Unit (FEU), is one of the largest standard sizes used for shipping cargo. It measures approximately 40 feet in length, 8 feet in width, and 8 feet in height. 

    These containers offer significant storage space and are commonly used for transporting bulkier or larger items such as furniture, machinery, and vehicles. They provide ample capacity for a wide range of cargo types and are often used for international shipping due to their size and versatility.
