The choice of sizes and types of containers depends on how and what kind of goods will be transported.

The dimensions of the container are basically as follows: 8 feet, 10 feet, 20 feet, 40 feet, 40C feet in length. A 60-foot-long container is also available, which is still the largest of the manufactured containers.

The choice of container type depends on the transported goods and their characteristics.

The container for storage and transportation of dry cargo is one of the most popular in cargo transportation. They are usually 20.40 and 45 ft. This container does not allow temperature control, so we exclude the transportation of sensitive goods such as food and chemicals with its help.

The container without an attic, only with side sections, is designed for the transportation of large loads. This container is usually 20 or 40 feet long.

The open-top container is also designed for dry cargo storage. This container is especially suitable for the transportation of bulky goods. It also has a plastic roof structure that can be attached to the container with ropes and protect the cargo from dust and rain.

With open side sections, the container can be fully opened, which is beneficial for storing and transporting wide loads.

Refrigerated container is used for transporting and storing temperature-sensitive cargo. This container allows for temperature regulation that can range from -65 °C to 40 °C.

A tank container is designed to hold liquids. They are usually constructed of anti-corrosion materials. Containers can also be used to store dry goods such as sugar, but they are most often used exclusively for liquids.

There are also types of containers that are produced for a special purpose. Shipping companies, however, try to be satisfied with the types of containers that are already available, because the ones produced with special needs are quite expensive.
