Emerald 20ft PWHC Container | Sales & Hire

If you're in the market for a shipping container, you may have come across the terms "20ft," "Pallet Wide," "High Cube," and "Emerald." But what do these terms mean, and how do they benefit you?

Let's start with "20ft." This refers to the length of the container - it's 20 feet long. But why is this important? For starters, a 20ft container is the most common size, which means it's readily available and easy to transport. Plus, it's large enough to fit a significant amount of cargo, but not so large that it becomes cumbersome or difficult to handle.

Next up is "Pallet Wide." This term refers to the internal width of the container, which is designed to fit standard pallets. This means you can maximize your cargo space and make the most of every inch of the container. And since pallets are a common way of transporting goods, this feature can save you time and money on loading and unloading.

"High Cube" is another term you may see. This refers to the height of the container - it's one foot taller than a standard container, giving you extra vertical space. This can be especially useful if you're shipping bulky or oversized items that wouldn't fit in a standard container. Plus, the added height can make it easier to stack items and maximize your cargo space.

Finally, "Emerald" is a color option for your container. While it may not seem like a critical feature, it's worth noting that a bright, distinctive color can make your container easier to spot and identify on a busy shipping dock or construction site.

So why choose a 20ft Pallet Wide High Cube Emerald container? For starters, it's a versatile size that can accommodate a wide variety of cargo. The Pallet Wide feature maximizes your space and streamlines loading and unloading. The High Cube option gives you extra vertical space, and the Emerald color makes it easy to spot. And as we mentioned earlier, 10ft containers aren't necessarily cheaper than 20ft ones, so you might as well go for the larger size and enjoy all the benefits it has to offer.
