What is containerised transport?
Containerised transport places cargo in an enclosed transport unit. PTN’s fleet photographs show containerised vehicles, including a 20ft fleet image. The shipment assessment must distinguish the required equipment from a photograph: usable dimensions, payload, access, and loading method need confirmation for the vehicle supplied.
Who this service is for
- Manufacturers and distributors moving packaged goods.
- Businesses requiring an enclosed cargo arrangement.

Frequently asked questions
Does a 20ft description confirm usable internal space?
No. Confirm the actual equipment dimensions, door opening, and payload before loading; the gallery is not an equipment specification sheet.
Is road containerised transport the same as sea freight?
No. The road leg and the sea freight leg are different activities. Request both explicitly if the shipment needs an integrated arrangement.
Can palletised goods be considered?
Provide pallet dimensions, weight, quantity, and whether pallets can be stacked so the loading arrangement can be assessed.
