20' standard steel containers are closed weather-tight containers that are suitable for any general cargo. 20' standard steel containers have a payload capacity of up to 28,160 kg, close to the payload capacity of most 40' standard steel containers. This makes 20' standard steel containers especially suitable for high-density, heavyweight cargo.
In addition, 11 or more standard garment hanger bars* can be installed on most 20’ containers. Forklift pockets* are also available on almost all 20' containers.
40’ standard steel containers are closed weather-tight containers that can be used to transport any general cargo. Most 40’ containers have a payload capacity of 28,760 kg with a gross weight of 32,500 kg. This exceeds the payload capacity of 26,760 kg (gross weight of 30,480 kg) required by ISO standards. Almost all 40’ containers have a recess at the bottom called the gooseneck tunnel*. 22 or more standard garment hanger bars* can be installed on most 40’ containers.
40’ high cube containers are suitable for all general cargo transportation. They are almost identical to the 40’ standard containers, except that they have more cubic capacity as they are one foot taller. Thus, 40’ high cube containers are especially suitable for voluminous cargo. The ISO standard payload capacity is 26,760 kg with a gross weight of 30,480 kg
Most 40’ high cube containers have a payload capacity of 28,550 kg with a gross weight of 32,500 kg, which surpasses the ISO requirement. Almost all 40’ containers have a recess at the bottom called the gooseneck tunnel*. 22 or more standard garment hanger bars* can be installed on most 40’ high cube containers.
Being 9’6” tall (high cube) and 45’ long, 45’ high cube containers have a capacity of 86.5 cubic meters, 18.8 cubic meters more than the standard 40’ container. They are especially suitable for voluminous lightweight cargo.
