What Is a Floor-Loaded Container?

A floor-loaded container is a shipping container where cargo is loaded directly onto the container floor instead of being placed on pallets. Boxes, cartons, bags, or other products are stacked tightly from the front of the container to the back, maximizing every inch of available space.

Floor-loaded containers are commonly used by importers, retailers, manufacturers, and distributors who want to reduce shipping costs by fitting more products into each container.
