I believe the issue with the gauge is not one of width, but rather of
height - the shipping industry of moving from standard containers
with a height of 8'6" to the 'high cube' type with a height of 9'6".
Standard containers will go through the W8 gauge, but high cubes
won't; i *think* high cubes will fit in W9 gauge, but don't quote me
on that - it rather depends on how high the bed of the wagon is.


That is correct, AIUI.
