Short answer

Measure narrow route passages and loading space; establish load volume and mass, including room for shelves or plates. Verify handling format and options in the exact model drawing. Trial the remaining configuration at actual doors and vehicle with a representative load; do not order from catalogue resemblance.

First measure doors, lifts, corridors and vehicle clearances on the container's route. Verify outside dimensions and castor or pallet configuration in current model drawings.

GEBHARDT's catalogue gives TBX 410 internal dimensions as 431 × 625 × 1425 mm and TBX 900 as 611 × 1025 × 1444 mm. Use these only for those models and verify passage on site.

Then account for typical load volume and mass, packaging, shelves and cooling elements. Trial the remaining model empty and with a representative load, recording dimensions, option codes and layout in the purchase file. [[pillar]]
