1. Vehicle Clearances: 13.60 m Curtain-Side TIR vs. 40' High Cube Sea Container
Understanding internal transport geometry prevents costly partial-truckload waste and ensures safe port/border clearance:
- 13.60 m Standard TIR Trailer (Road Freight to Europe, Balkans, Iraq, Caucasus & Türkiye): Internal bed length 13,600 mm, width 2,480 mm (up to 3,000 mm wide-load flatbeds for 3×7 m assembled units), payload capacity ~24,000 kg.
- 40' High Cube Sea Container (Maritime Export via Kocaeli / İstanbul Ports): Internal length 12,032 mm, internal door width 2,340 mm, internal height 2,698 mm — specifically requiring 2.40 m width models (SC-MK / W2400) or demounted Flat-Pack / Frame Kit bundles.
