They are used for the carriage and storage of a wide range of cargo. Dry cargo containers are also ideal for conversion into office and accommodation modules. A range of specialised equipment has been developed to cater for cargoes with specific requirements. Temperature controlled or "reefer" containers are used for shipping foodstuff, chemicals and medicines. Open top containers are designed for material which would be difficult to load through the end doors, for example pipe work, or for over height cargoes or where product handling would be made easier or safer by loading through the roof. Flat racks allow out of gauge equipment or vehicles to be containerised - earth moving equipment, generators or buses for instance. We list indicative specifications of key equipment types used in the shipping industry.
