Prototype History:
The 40 foot container is the king of the container business. It is the most common standard container size used for international and domestic shipping. Most intermodal operations that handle overseas shipping are optimized for this container size. These containers are typically reinforced for loading, unloading and transportation by ship.

Dry containers are meant for non-refrigerated goods and hence are the most common type.

Road Name History:
Dole is the world's largest producer of bananas and pineapples, and an industry leader in packaged salads and fresh vegetables.
Dole quality starts right on the farm, and moves through its own refrigerated supply chain.

Dole Ocean Cargo Express provides reliable service to commercial customers on Dole’s vessels. Dole’s growing fleet of owned and chartered vessels maximizes the efficiency of marine transportation and addresses the critical issues of moving of time sensitive perishable products between the United States, Latin America & Europe.
Brand/Importer Information:
Con-Cor has been in business since 1962. Many things have changed over time as originally they were a complete manufacturing operation in the USA and at one time had upwards of 45 employees. They not only designed the models,but they also built their own molds, did injection molding, painting, printing and packaging on their models.

Currently, most of their manufacturing has been moved overseas and now they import 90% of their products as totally finished goods, or in finished components. They only do some incidental manufacturing today within the USA.

Important Note: The Con-Cor product numbering can be very confusing. Please see here in the article how to properly enter Con-Cor stock numbers in the TroveStar database.
