Container specifications vary depending on the shipping company used to transport your cargo. However here are some measurements that may be helpful in determining the size required for transport. Containers need to be packed evenly (take care of extra weight at back of container as this becomes a problem over the back axle when transporting).
Weight limits must be adhered to as Australian Road Transport limits apply and fines are issued.
