How wide is a Pallet Wide Shipping Container?

A Pallet Wide Shipping Container is 2,500mm wide externally, with an internal width of 2,420mm. That extra internal width is what lets you fit two Australian CHEP pallets (1165mm x 1165mm) side by side. A Pallet Wide Container is wider because the side walls have a slimmer internal ribbing profile, so you get more usable space inside compared to a standard 20ft container which has an external width of 2,438mm.

What can you store in a Pallet Wide Shipping Container?

Pallet Wide Shipping Containers handle the same goods as a standard container, the difference is how efficiently you can load them. Two CHEP pallets sit side by side on the floor. That makes them a good fit for warehousing, distribution, and anywhere you’re moving palletised stock regularly. They’re also popular with 3PL operators and manufacturing sites where fast turnaround matters.

Pallet Wide Containers built for palletised freight

Pallet wide shipping containers come in 20ft and 40ft sizes, both built as High Cube for extra internal height. From the outside, they’re effectively identical to a standard shipping container, with ISO corner castings in the same position so they ship, stack, and lift on the same equipment. The difference is in the side walls. A shallower corrugation profile lets the walls sit closer to the frame, giving roughly 90mm of extra internal width. That’s exactly what’s needed to fit two standard Australian CHEP pallets side by side.
