According to Enlight, they can ship 800 cases (each approx. 17"w X 7"h
X 19"d) in a 40 foot container. I'm guessing that is one of those big
steel shipping containers like you see at the port being unloaded by
crane. That works out, conveniently, to 50 of these. Imagine 50
tractor trailers (not including the cab) and you have an idea of the
size.
