Dry Container

Dry Container, also known as a general-purpose container, is the most common type of intermodal freight container used for the transportation of non-perishable goods. These containers are designed to carry a wide range of cargo, offering a secure and weatherproof solution for shipping and storage.

Key Features:

• Construction: Made from durable, corrugated steel, dry containers are built to withstand the rigors of transport and harsh environmental conditions. They feature a rigid roof, walls, and floor, providing maximum protection for the cargo inside.
• Size Variants: Dry containers come in various sizes, with the most common being 20 feet and 40 feet in length. The dimensions of a standard 20-foot container are 20 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 8.5 feet high, while a 40-foot container measures 40 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 8.5 feet high. High cube versions, which are 9.5 feet high, are also available for both sizes.
• Doors: These containers typically have double doors at one end, allowing for easy loading and unloading of cargo. Some models may also have doors at both ends or side doors for additional access.
• Ventilation: Dry containers usually have small vents to allow for minimal airflow, preventing condensation buildup inside the container.
• Stackability: Designed to be stackable, dry containers can be efficiently loaded onto ships, trains, and trucks, optimizing space and reducing transportation costs.

• Storage Solutions: Employed for secure storage of goods, equipment, and inventory in industrial, commercial, and residential settings. Their weatherproof construction makes them ideal for both temporary and long-term storage needs.
• Modular Construction: Often converted into portable offices, workshops, pop-up retail spaces, and even residential units due to their robust structure and versatility.
