Tare Weight
Tare weight are weight, also known as unladen weight, is the actual weight of the storage unit or means of transport when empty. This includes the weight of empty containers, cartons, drums, or the vehicle itself. It is calculated by subtracting the net weight of the cargo from the gross weight of the total shipment. Knowing the tare weight helps prevent overcharges and ensures customers have accurate information about their shipment.
Net weight refers to the actual weight of the cargo, excluding any packaging, containers, or materials used to ship the goods. Understanding the net weight allows customers to avoid unnecessary fees due to improper declarations and helps safeguard against losses during shipment.
Gross weight is the total weight of the shipment, which includes the cargo plus all packaging materials such as cartons, drums, or containers. Shipping costs are typically based on the gross weight, making it important for customers to know this figure to understand how their cargo is handled.
We encourage our customers to ensure accurate weighing and proper documentation to guarantee smooth transactions.
To help you avoid unnecessary charges and overpaying on freight, we provide accurate tare weight information for every container. This ensures you receive the exact value and service your money deserves.

Known as refrigerated cargo containers (or “reefers”), these specialized units are designed to transport goods that require controlled temperatures. They are commonly used for temperature-sensitive cargo such as vegetables, pharmaceuticals, and ready-to-freeze items like fish, chicken, and meat. Equipped with built-in cooling systems similar to household refrigerators, they maintain precise temperature conditions throughout the journey to ensure product freshness and safety.
