Pallets: single tier, usual floor positions (20': 11 EUR or 10 industrial; 40': 23 to 24 EUR or 20 to 21 industrial). "≈" marks figures that vary a lot (approx.).
Typical figures: they vary between shipping lines, manufacturers and build years. Road weight limits at origin or destination can be lower than the container payload. Always confirm exact figures before loading.
