To transfer such cargo, containers of different shapes, sizes, and features are used. These containers allow goods and machinery of large size and irregular shapes to fit perfectly. There are some goods which get affect by temperature. For those goods, special containers are designed. All of these special types of containers are called Out of Gauge Containers. The purpose of Out of Gauge containers is to carry larger and sensitive goods with proper handling and care. There are 3 different types of Out of Gauge containers.

  • Fruits
  • Vegetables
  • Dairy items

Open Top Container

As the name suggests, the container has no roof on the top, instead, it has an open top. The top of the container is covered by a plastic waterproof cover.

Once the cargo is placed in the container, then it is covered by the waterproof plastic to secure the cargo inside.

Flat Rack Container
