Are you sure those are 40's? Look more like 45 footers to me and the APL's look like 48's.

Hi Drew,
Yes indeed.. those are 40's alright. Two 48's don't generally fit at the same time on an 89' 4" pig flat. And, there's no extra bits of container after the 40' stacking points on the corners either. APL usually liked to denote the extra length on a 48' with a big red 4' section of container beyond the 40' point on each side.

Cheers,
Harry

Thank You, Charles. You made my day seeing a 40' DT&I Trailer really as a DT&I fan. :)
