The dry freight box is the most widely used container for general cargo and is available in 20ft and 40ft lengths. For high volume, low weight cargo, 9ft 6" high, 40ft and 45ft units are available giving an additional internal cubic capacity.

SeaCell dry freight boxes offer the additional advantages of 3.6% extra cubic capacity (than standard 8ft 6" high) and the ability to load two 1200mm pallets side by side. The SeaCell is a unique patented design that can be used for two palletwide operations both domestically and internationally, as the units are designed for use on deepsea cellular ships.
