3. The terms "45G1" and "22G1" signify a container capacity of 95 cubic meters.
4. A "45G1" container denotes a super-heavyweight container, also known as a 40-foot high cube (40HQ) with a weight exceeding the standard limit.
5. The standard weight capacity for a 40HQ container is typically 30,480 kilograms, but a "45G" container can accommodate up to 32,500 kilograms.
6. When a shipping company arranges for container pick-up at the terminal, it is usually handled by the port authority.
7. Our company frequently requires the pick-up of super-heavyweight containers. Whenever we book a shipment with a shipping line, we specify the need for a super-heavyweight container.
8. However, on occasion, the trucking team might retrieve a non-super-heavyweight container, which is a standard 40HQ, instead of the requested super-heavyweight container.
9. Consequently, it would be advisable for you to communicate with the trucking team in advance, requesting them to endeavor to pick up a 40HQ container when visiting the container yard.详情
