Get to know FourstarTHE RIGHT EQUIPMENT CHANGES EVERYTHING
Match the cargo to the equipment before you book. Explore the common options, then let our team confirm the fit.
Dense dry cargo in smaller volumes.
Confirm packed weight and load distribution. A smaller container does not automatically mean a lower permitted payload.
Larger volumes of non-temperature-sensitive cargo.
Check the usable dimensions and door opening against the packed load.
Bulky dry goods that benefit from extra vertical space.
Extra height adds space, not an automatic increase in permitted cargo weight.
Cargo that needs an agreed temperature throughout transit.
Confirm the temperature, ventilation, packaging and power requirements with the product specialist before booking.
Cargo that cannot be loaded easily through standard end doors.
Overheight loads require carrier acceptance, a suitable cover and a securing plan.
Out-of-gauge cargo needing access beyond enclosed walls.
Confirm engineered lashing, load distribution and route clearance before shipment.
Illustrative models and typical capacities. Equipment varies by manufacturer and carrier. Final selection depends on packed dimensions, weight, handling, route and cargo requirements.
