Services
Domestic block trains are container freight trains operated on the national railway network with fixed train numbers, fixed routes, and fixed schedules. They mainly handle round-trip transport between the Pearl River Delta and major cities across the country, and provide sea-rail intermodal transfer services for export goods by sea. Compared with road transport, block trains offer larger loading capacity and stable freight rates; compared with traditional boxcar transport, container block trains have standardized loading and unloading procedures and better cargo safety.
Our core services:
- Pearl River Delta to nationwide block trains: With railway stations such as Nansha Port South and Guangzhou International Port as hubs, we provide full container load (FCL) block train transport between cities in the Pearl River Delta and regions such as Central China, Southwest China, and South China, with flexible round-trip routes.
- Sea-rail intermodal transfer: Relying on the Nansha Port Railway's direct access to the port area, export containers shipped by sea can be transported by rail from the Pearl River Delta and inland hinterland to the port and then loaded directly onto vessels, achieving seamless connection between "inland stations—port—overseas destination ports" and reducing overall logistics costs.
- Export customs declaration and inspection: A professional team handles export customs declaration, transit declaration, and document review for railway transport, and sea-rail intermodal transport can seamlessly connect with export customs clearance for ocean shipping.
- Full cargo tracking: Relying on the railway transport information system, we can monitor real-time cargo status in transit, arrivals, and station operation status.
- Door-to-door one-stop service: Integrating door pickup, railway transport, port and station transfer, and final delivery, with one entrustment for worry-free service throughout the entire process.

Common Container Type Parameter Comparison Table
| Parameter | 20GP (20ft General Purpose) | 40GP (40ft General Purpose) | 40HQ (40ft High Cube) |
|---|---|---|---|
| External Dimensions (L×W×H) | 6.058m × 2.438m × 2.591m | 12.192m × 2.438m × 2.591m | 12.192m × 2.438m × 2.896m |
| Internal Dimensions (L×W×H) | 5.898m × 2.352m × 2.385m | 12.032m × 2.352m × 2.385m | 12.032m × 2.352m × 2.698m |

| Maximum Payload | Approx. 28,000 kg | Approx. 26,500 kg | Approx. 26,500 kg |

How to Choose the Right Container Type?
20GP: Suitable for heavy cargo (cargo weighing >250kg per m³), such as stone, steel, tiles, and hardware. The 20GP has a weight limit of 28 tons but a volume of only 33.2m³, meaning heavy cargo often hits the weight limit before filling the volume.
40GP: Suitable for cargo with large volume but moderate weight, such as furniture, appliances, daily necessities, and textiles. With a volume of 67.7m³, double that of the 20GP, the 40GP is the most economical single-container option for cargo with medium density. Note that the 40GP has a higher tare weight and a maximum payload of about 26.5 tons, roughly 1.5 tons less than the 20GP.
40HQ: 30cm taller than the 40GP (2.896m vs 2.591m), making it ideal for most boxed cargo and standard machinery. With a volume of 76.4m³, it offers nearly 9m³ more space than the 40GP. Suitable for shelves, large equipment, or cargo requiring two or more layers of pallet stacking.
Container Selection Tip: Unsure which container type to use? A simple rule — if total cargo weight is <20 tons and total volume is >40m³, choose 40GP; if total weight is >20 tons and volume is <25m³, choose 20GP; for cargo height exceeding 2.3m, choose 40HQ.
