40ft Container Shipping

40ft Container Used Tires — How We Pack & Ship

The 40ft (and 40ft High-Cube) ocean container is the workhorse of the bulk used tire export trade. How it's packed determines your real cost per tire — which is why BulkUsedTires.com uses high-density tripling on every 40ft order to fit significantly more tires, and more value, into the same freight cost.

Standard 40ft Load

~1,600 tires

High-Cube Tripled Load

Up to 2,400 tires
