Note: Empty Weight and Cubic Capacity figures shown are for the equipment which makes up the majority of inventory in each category. Actual empty weights and cubic capacities may vary based on series numbers of equipment.

In addition to the above containers, Matson has a large, diversified chassis inventory to meet customer needs. Chassis designs include standard fixed chassis, specialized sliding axle chassis, and specialized tri-axle chassis. The latter two designs increase the weight that may be transported over roads.
