40'-45' Pallet Wide units were specifically designed with the 1.2 m Euro pallet in mind. The equipment, with its 2.45 m internal width, ensures optimum utilization of space. Shippers benefit by being able to load 5 additional 1.2mx0.8m euro pallets than in a standard ISO 45 ft container (or additional 1.2x1m pallets).
Total per tier =33 euro pallets in a pallet wide i.o. 27 euro pallets in a standard ISO 45ft containers (or 24 x "1.2x1m" i/o 21)
These containers are in compliance with the UE regulations.
Financially speaking, this additional capacity can reduce through distribution costs by 15% on more. Such optimal utilization, with the avoidance of broken stows, prevents cargo movement. This may remove the need for the securing of cargo and so improves dispatch times whilst also reducing the cost of product packaging.
