How do you transport a 40 foot shipping container?
A 40ft shipping container is transported the same way as a 20ft — on a flatbed truck with a Hiab crane or by tilt truck. The truck must be longer to handle the 40ft length and meet weight limits. Most road transport caps loaded weight at 24 tonnes. Wide-load permits are needed in some areas.
