Extra wide shipping container is a standard shipping container designed to accommodate large quantities of wide pallets. This is perfect when you have to choose between your heavy cargo and an appropriate standard-sized shipping container that fits your budget.
People also call an extra wide shipping container a wide-body or extra-width container. Another container that comes with an extra width is the cellular palletwide (CPC) container.
CPC can maximise internal container capacity while maintaining the external dimensions of standard ISO containers for full compatibility with existing marine and intermodal transportation networks.

More Usable Interior Space

Wider Door Openings Available
Some extra-wide containers come with custom double doors or roll-up doors that match the wider interior, making it easier to load and unload oversized items.

Same Strength and Durability

Works Well as a Standalone Unit
Extra wide units are ideal for single-container buildings that don’t need to be combined or stacked. Their popular uses are mobile offices, disaster relief units, and construction site storage
