Unventilated Dry Containers 22G0




The term "standard container" was originally used to describe the first generation of shipping containers in their basic form. These containers, primarily closed and designed for general cargo, are also referred to as general purpose containers, dry cargo containers, or box containers.

Initially, these standard containers had an external height of 8 feet. However, this height has largely become obsolete, with most modern box containers now featuring an external height of 8 feet 6 inches. While traditionally unventilated, general purpose containers are equipped with openings on either one or both ends. Additionally, some containers, although classified as unventilated, may have small vents located in the upper part of the cargo space.

Two steel containers with virtually identical construction can both be classified as standard containers. Despite their similarities, they may be coded differently, such as 2210 or 22G1, depending on specific characteristics. Both containers typically have an external height of 8 feet 6 inches and lack a gooseneck tunnel, making them versatile for various shipping needs. Moreover, they are often equipped with forklift pockets and straddle carrier recesses, enhancing their handling and transport efficiency.

These features and design elements have made standard containers a fundamental component of global trade, ensuring the safe and efficient transportation of goods across the world.
