Common Sizes of Shipping Containers

Shipping containers come in a range of standard sizes to accommodate various storage and transport requirements. The most frequently used sizes for business applications in Buckinghamshire include:

• 20ft Shipping Containers: These are the most popular choice, offering a good balance of capacity and footprint. They are ideal for general storage, small workshops, or on-site offices.
• 40ft Shipping Containers: Doubling the length of a 20ft unit, these provide significantly larger storage volume, suitable for bulk goods, larger equipment, or more extensive site facilities.

While 20ft and 40ft containers are standard, other less common sizes and types are available for specialised purposes. Always consider the specific volume and dimensions required for your application when selecting a container size.

Specialised Types of Shipping Containers

Beyond standard dry van containers, several specialised types cater to specific cargo or storage needs:

• Refrigerated (Reefer) Containers: Equipped with refrigeration units, these maintain precise temperature control, essential for transporting or storing perishable goods like food, pharmaceuticals, or chemicals in Buckinghamshire.
• Flat Rack Containers: These have ends that can be fixed or collapsible, with no side walls. They are designed for oversized or awkwardly shaped cargo that cannot fit into standard containers, such as machinery or vehicles.
• Open Top Containers: Featuring a removable roof (usually a tarpaulin), these allow for easy loading of tall or bulky items from the top using cranes. They are often used for cargo such as timber, scrap metal, or heavy machinery.

Selecting the correct container type is crucial for ensuring the safety and integrity of your goods during transit or storage.

Delivery Options for Buckinghamshire

Acorn Containers provides reliable and efficient delivery services for shipping containers throughout Buckinghamshire. We understand that timely and safe transportation to your site is paramount.

Our primary delivery method for standard containers is typically via an articulated vehicle equipped with a HIAB (Hook Loader) crane. This allows our experienced drivers to lift the container off the vehicle and position it precisely at your desired location, provided there is sufficient hardstanding and clear access.

We carefully plan delivery routes and site logistics to ensure a smooth process. When requesting a quote, providing clear information about your site access, ground surface, and preferred placement location helps us determine the most suitable delivery method and provide an accurate cost.
