SBS allows shippers to use 102” wide containers without giving up the extensive capacity and global network of commercial container shipping. The capacity of a standard high-cube 40-foot international container is exceeded by 27% when using 102” wide 48’ containers and by 40% when using 102” wide 53’ containers.
Shippers of lightweight, high-cube cargo benefit from the greater capacity, while reducing unit costs for drayage, transloading and intermodal transportation. U.S. customers use domestic pallet sizes for seamless distribution in U.S. markets. You can load more cargo weight and still meet U.S. federal and state road weight limits due to the longer axle separation provided by 48’ and 53’ chassis.
In logistics, it’s all about the box. SBS provides the flexibility to maximize loads.
- Oversized containers provide greater capacity
- Avoid transloading losses due to breakage or shrinkage
- More cargo per box means less logistics cost
