Common Shipping Container Sizes in Hertfordshire

Selecting the appropriate container size is crucial for efficient storage or logistics. Acorn Containers offers standard shipping container sizes popular with businesses in Hertfordshire:

• 20ft Shipping Containers: These are the most widely used containers, offering approximately 33 cubic metres of storage space. They are versatile and suitable for various applications, from general storage to site offices.
• 40ft Shipping Containers: Doubling the storage capacity of a 20ft unit, 40ft containers provide around 67 cubic metres. They are ideal for businesses requiring substantial storage volume, such as warehousing or large-scale inventory management.
• Other Sizes: We also supply other sizes and types, including 10ft containers for smaller-scale storage needs and high-cube containers offering extra vertical space.

Consider the type and volume of goods you need to store, as well as the available space at your location in Hertfordshire, when determining the most suitable container size.

Specialised Shipping Container Types Available in Hertfordshire

Beyond standard dry containers, Acorn Containers provides specialised container types to meet specific business requirements in Hertfordshire. These include:

• Refrigerated Containers (Reefers): Essential for transporting or storing temperature-sensitive goods, reefers maintain precise internal temperatures. Businesses in the food industry, pharmaceuticals, or floral trade in Hertfordshire often utilise reefer containers.
• Open Top Containers: Featuring a removable roof, these containers facilitate loading of oversized items from the top. They are particularly useful for transporting machinery or bulk materials that cannot be easily loaded through standard doors.
• Flat Rack Containers: These containers consist of a base and end walls, without side walls or a roof. They are designed for transporting oversized or irregularly shaped cargo that does not fit within enclosed container types.
• Tunnel Containers: Equipped with doors at both ends, tunnel containers allow for easy loading and unloading from either side, improving accessibility and workflow.

Discuss your specific cargo requirements with our team to identify the most appropriate specialised container type for your operations in Hertfordshire.
