Pallet Wide Container

Container Family is a leading China pallet wide container manufacturer. A pallet wide container is a special container designed to accommodate Euro pallets, common in Europe. These containers are made of steel, with wooden plank flooring for durability and reduced friction. They are wider than standard ISO containers with an internal width of 4 inches (0.10m) wider to fit pallets.

Pallet wide containers are more efficient for European pallets, carrying more pallets than standard containers. A 40ft pallet wide container can load 30 Euro pallets compared to 25 in a standard 40ft container.

This tight fit reduces unnecessary movement and damage during transport. They are suitable for transporting large equipment industry apparatus, and various pallet types.
