Figures follow the standard build specification of our manufacturing network; individual production runs may vary within ISO tolerances. Your quotation includes the exact specification sheet for your production batch.
The 40FT Standard doubles the floor length of a 20FT for long items and voluminous cargo that does not need the extra foot of a High Cube. For buyers whose use case is bounded by height clearances — rail, road or building limits — the standard profile is the practical choice.
