Typical Undermount Genset
Our Undermount Gensets are used to provide power for Reefers in transit and are often used as a stationary power source. They can be fitted underneath a chassis frame using four Place
The following is a detailed breakdown of shipping container weights and what that means. It refers to the weight of the empty container, that is, without any cargo. This weight is the baseline weight of the container itself which is made up of its steel structure, floor, and doors.
Each container size has a different tare weight (the weight when empty), which directly impacts how much you can load and which equipment can safely move it. A 10-foot shipping container weighs approximately 2,600–3,300 pounds (1,200–1,500 kg) when empty (tare weight).
The total weight that can be loaded into a container is called the payload weight. The payload capacity plus the tare weight add up to the gross weight. The tare weight of a 20 ft. container is approximately 4,914 lbs, while its maximum payload capacity is 47,900 lbs, and its gross weight is 52,813 lbs.
The weight of a 40' shipping container is 3,750kg / 8,268.8 lbs, and the dimensions are 12.03m x 2.4m x 2.39m. When deciding between these two sizes, take your cargo requirements into account. While a 40ft container has a heavier tare weight, it provides greater payload capacity, making it a better choice for larger or heavier loads.
