The Different Types of Shipping Containers

When it comes to the different varieties of shipping containers available in Perth, there are quite a few choices.

Containers for dangerous goods – These containers are purpose built for shipping dangerous goods, such as chemicals and so on.

Flat rack containers – The walls on these containers are collapsible, making for much easier transportation or storage of the container.

General purpose shipping container – As the name suggests, this is your stock standard shipping container that is most commonly used for more general transportation and storage purposes.

High cube shipping containers – The high cube container is about a foot taller than a standard sized container, making it ideal for transporting materials that are extra tall.

Offices & site containers – These containers have been modified and purpose built for use as office space, particularly at locations such as building and construction sites.

Open top containers – The open top container is ideal for transporting machinery as the open top allows easy loading via a crane. A temporary tarp roof is fixed over the top once the container has been loaded.

Side opening containers – These containers have doors that open on the side, allowing much more space for ease of loading large items and quantities quickly.

Refrigeration containers – The refrigerated container keeps perishable contents at an even temperature.

Temperature controlled containers – Also known as a “reefer” container, this refrigerated container has a thermostat that can vary the temperature according to the requirements.
