Transport equipment
DHL provides specific transport equipment for all your transport needs. Here you will find useful information on our transport equipment.
In Air Freight transports there are many different unit load devices in use besides the air express container. You can find more information about the unit load devices and their measures in the document below.
Container is a standardized cargo transport unit used e.g. in ocean and rail transports and multimodal transports. The most common container outdoor measurements (length x width x height) are
- 20': 20x 8 x 8,6 feet
- 40': 40 x 8 x 8,6 feet
We transport your shipments with modern and functional equipment - Eurotrailer, Megatrailer or Jumbotrailer - in accordance with your transport needs. Part of our units are also equipped for transport by train (so-called huckepack trailers).
Our temperature-controlled equipment is ATP/FRC classified and thus suitable for all goods requiring controlled temperatures (-25º C - +25º C). Part of our thermo equipment are multi-temperature units allowing different temperatures in the front and in the rear of the trailers. Also available are double deck units, equipped with movable beams, which doubles the available loading space when transporting non-stackable pallets, for example. For details on equipment used in regular European road transports, please check link below. National regulations / weight limits need to be observed.
Shipments requiring special transport equipment need to be scheduled individually.
