FAQ
Without a Mezzanine Deck, you can fit 20 pallets. With a Mezzanine Deck, that doubles to 40 pallets.
A Tautliner container is similar to a Side Door container, however the curtain provides a significant weight reduction compared to the steel side doors. This doesn't impact the Tare weight of the unit, which can carry more freight with reduced fuel costs (thanks to the lighter weight).
A Mezzanine Deck is a reinforced platform inside the container that can be adjusted by a forklift to a desired height. It enables the double stacking of pallets in the container, ensuring pallets below the deck are not damaged.
No, not all units have the deck as standard.
