The measurements that actually matter

Three numbers catch people out. Door height — the door opening is about 11cm lower than internal height, so tall gear must clear 2.28m, not 2.39m, on a standard container. Internal width — at 2.35m, a standard car fits but door-opening room is tight. Delivery footprint — the truck needs more room than the container; see our delivery page for access requirements.
