Standard ISO Pallet Wide High Cube Container
The 45’ Pallet Wide Container (ISO L5GP) is a high-capacity general purpose shipping container designed to maximize pallet loading efficiency. Manufactured in accordance with ISO and CSC requirements, it combines the advantages of a 45-foot High Cube container with an increased internal width, allowing more Euro pallets to be loaded while reducing unused cargo space.
Its increased internal dimensions make the container particularly suitable for palletised cargo, retail distribution, FMCG logistics, manufacturing and warehouse operations while remaining fully compatible with international intermodal transport by sea, rail and road.
