What are Garments on Hangers containers?

Garments on hangers (GOH) containers are used for shipping high-quality garments.

These containers give customers the option of using a string or bar system, or a combination of both.

The GOH containers offer increased flexibility, greater internal load capacity and savings on transportation and handling costs.

GOH containers are available in 20' and 40' sizes.
