Transporting Sea Containers to the Port

Our modern, 5-axle connectable containerchassis can transport two 20ft containers at once. Additionally, the vehicle sections can be easily separated, allowing either the front or rear section, or both, to be positioned at a loading/unloading dock. This provides a lot of flexibility in planning your container transport, whether it’s an FCL or LCL shipment.

How Does Container Transportation Work?

Container transportation relies on a standardized system with container sizes ranging from 10ft to 45ft. Your goods are loaded into one of these containers, allowing for efficient transportation via trucks, trains, or large container ships. They can be seamlessly transferred to the appropriate mode of transport for each leg of the journey. Ultimately, they are unloaded at their destination.

The standardization ensures that container shipping is fast, cost-effective, and applicable worldwide.
