Q: What is the maximum weight you can
handle for a 20' or 40' container?
A: It depends on the season, the destination of your cargo and the mode of
transport. E.G.: Weight limits for rail shipping within Canada are
slightly different from those in the US or overseas. Seasonal road weight
restrictions for container trucking apply in parts of Canada and the US during
spring thaw and similar conditions may apply overseas depending on the Country
you're shipping to. Steamship lines also have their own requirements.
