Features

Royal Wolf’s Hardside Pallet Wide Containers are available in 20ft, 40ft and 48ft lengths to suit various freight volumes and operational requirements. Whether you need a compact container for metro deliveries or a high-capacity unit for long-haul transport, there’s a size to match your needs.

These containers are specifically engineered to fit two Australian standard CHEP pallets side by side, eliminating wasted space and increasing loading efficiency. This layout minimises double handling and maximises every trip’s payload.

Select models are available in high-cube (2.9m & 3m) variants, providing extra vertical space to accommodate taller items or facilitate double-stacking of pallets. This added capacity boosts internal volume significantly, making them ideal for bulky freight.

Built with full-depth corrugated steel walls and reinforced flooring, these containers are made to withstand the rigours of intermodal transport. Their durability ensures long service life, even in harsh environments or frequent use scenarios.

Streamline integration into existing logistics operations (road or rail-based). The 20ft units feature chain lift positions, while all sizes include heavy-duty fork pockets, allowing for flexible handling with forklifts, cranes or sideloaders.

Designed for the Australian domestic freight system, these containers are fully compatible with standard road and rail equipment. This makes loading, unloading and transferring goods between transport modes efficient and straightforward.

Hardside Pallet Wide Containers FAQs

What is a pallet wide 40ft container?

A pallet wide 40ft container is specifically designed to fit two Australian standard pallets side by side. Unlike standard containers, it maximises internal width to reduce wasted space and improve freight efficiency for palletised goods.

How does a 40ft pallet wide container differ from a standard 40ft container?

The 40ft pallet wide container offers increased internal width, allowing for better use of space with Australian pallets. While both containers might look similar from the outside, the 40ft pallet wide container is slightly wide (2.5m), the pallet wide version is ideal for logistics operators moving high volumes of dry cargo on pallets.

Do pallet wide high cube containers offer more internal capacity?

Yes. A pallet wide high cube container provides extra vertical space compared to a standard unit, allowing you to double-stack pallets or carry taller freight. These cube pallet wide shipping containers are great for bulky or awkward loads.

What are the external dimensions of a 40ft high cube pallet wide container?

External dimensions for a 40ft high cube pallet wide container are approximately 12.19m (length) x 2.5m (width) x 2.9m (height). Internal dimensions are optimised for pallet wide loading, ensuring two Australian pallets fit side by side with ease.

Are these high cube pallet wide containers suitable for leasing?

Absolutely. Royal Wolf offers container lease options for both short- and long-term needs. Leasing a high cube pallet wide container is a cost-effective solution for businesses managing fluctuating freight demands.

What is the maximum gross weight of these cargo containers?

The max gross weight depends on the container size and model, but typically ranges up to 35,000kg. Please refer to the spec sheet for precise payload details on each storage container.

Are these containers made from corten steel?

Yes. All Royal Wolf steel containers are constructed from corten steel, known for its superior durability and corrosion resistance, ideal for the tough conditions of intermodal freight.

Can I get a container with double doors?

Some models can be modified with double doors or alternate access options depending on freight requirements. Speak to our team about special container configurations.

How are high cube pallet wide containers different from tank or reefer containers?

High cube pallet wide containers are designed for palletised dry cargo, while tank containers are used for liquids and reefer containers offer refrigeration for perishables. Each serves a distinct purpose based on cargo type and transport needs.

Why choose a pallet wide container over a standard container?

Pallet wide containers are designed to eliminate wasted space by allowing standard pallets to fit more efficiently. For businesses using Australian pallets, these containers improve load capacity and reduce handling time compared to standard containers.
