Product Advantages

Large-Capacity 40' High Cube Design

The 40'HC ISO Dry Cargo Shipping Container combines a 40-foot container length with a high cube configuration, providing increased internal cargo volume for general dry freight.

The container uses the ISO size/type code 45G1 and has a cubic capacity of 76.4 m³ / 2,698 cu.ft.

This configuration is suitable for cargo where additional internal height and volume are important, while retaining the enclosed structure of a conventional dry cargo shipping container.

Verified Payload Capacity

The weight and capacity specifications are:

● Maximum Gross Weight: 30,480 kg / 67,200 lb

● Tare Weight: 3,890 kg / 8,575 lb

● Maximum Payload: 26,590 kg / 58,625 lb

● Cubic Capacity: 76.4 m³ / 2,698 cu.ft.

These are the product-specific weight and capacity values for this 40'HC container rather than generic 40'HC data.

Final cargo loading should always remain within the approved limits stated on the individual container and its certification documentation.

Enclosed Dry Cargo Structure

The container uses a conventional enclosed dry cargo configuration with corrugated steel side walls, fixed roof and rear cargo doors.

The enclosed cargo compartment uses a rear-door loading arrangement.

This structure is suitable for general non-temperature-controlled cargo requiring protection during transportation and storage.

Controlled Steel Fabrication

The container is manufactured using precision CNC cutting and standardized welding processes to maintain structural stability and manufacturing consistency.

The main frame, corrugated panels, roof and door structure are fabricated as part of the approved shipping container design.

Anti-Corrosion Coating System

Before painting, the steel structure undergoes Sa2.5 abrasive blast cleaning.

The coating system consists of:

● Zinc-rich epoxy primer

● Epoxy intermediate coat

● Acrylic top coat

Paint thickness and coating adhesion are also tested to control coating quality and reduce premature corrosion.

ISO Shipping Container Configuration

This 40'HC Dry Cargo Shipping Container follows ISO 1496-1 requirements and undergoes third-party professional testing, with corresponding certification documents and test reports available.

Application

The 40'HC ISO Dry Cargo Shipping Container is primarily designed for high-volume general dry cargo transportation within multimodal logistics systems. Standard ocean containers are suitable for logistics shipments across global ports.

General Dry Cargo Transportation

The enclosed cargo compartment is suitable for a wide range of non-temperature-controlled goods, including:

● Cartoned products

● Palletized cargo

● Consumer goods

● Packaged industrial products

● Furniture and household products

● General manufactured goods

Cargo dimensions, total weight and securing arrangements should comply with the approved specification of the individual container.

High-Volume Cargo

With a cubic capacity of 76.4 m³, this 40'HC model provides substantial enclosed cargo volume.

It is therefore suitable for shipments where available volume is an important consideration, particularly for relatively bulky cargo that remains within the approved payload.

Palletized and Packaged Goods

The rectangular enclosed cargo space and conventional rear-door arrangement support standard loading of pallets, cartons and other packaged freight.

The actual loading plan should take into account:

● Pallet dimensions

● Cargo weight

● Floor loading

● Weight distribution

● Cargo securing requirements

Industrial Products and Components

Packaged machinery components, manufactured products and other industrial goods can also be transported where the cargo dimensions and weight are compatible with the approved container specification.

Multimodal Logistics

This type of standard ocean container is intended for multimodal logistics shipments across global ports.

It can therefore be incorporated into compatible sea, rail and road transportation systems, subject to the requirements of the carrier, terminal and transportation route.

It is a 40-foot high cube enclosed freight container designed for general dry cargo transportation.

The model is 40'HC and uses the ISO size/type code 45G1.

2. What are the payload and capacity specifications?

● Maximum Gross Weight: 30,480 kg / 67,200 lb

● Tare Weight: 3,890 kg / 8,575 lb

● Maximum Payload: 26,590 kg / 58,625 lb

● Cubic Capacity: 76.4 m³ / 2,698 cu.ft.

The loading plan should comply with the approved limits of the individual container.

3. What type of cargo is suitable for this container?

The container is primarily intended for non-temperature-controlled dry cargo such as:

● Cartoned goods

● Palletized products

● Packaged industrial goods

● Consumer products

● Furniture

● General manufactured cargo

Cargo dimensions and weight must remain within the approved container limits.

4. What is the advantage of the 40'HC configuration?

The high cube configuration provides greater internal cargo volume than a standard-height container while retaining a conventional enclosed dry cargo structure.

The container provides 76.4 m³ / 2,698 cu.ft. of cubic capacity.

5. What standard and certification are available?

The container follows ISO 1496-1, undergoes third-party professional testing, and can be supplied with a CSC Certificate depending on project requirements.

The final test and certification package should be confirmed before production.

6. What anti-corrosion treatment is used?

The anti-corrosion treatment includes:

● Sa2.5 abrasive blast cleaning

● Zinc-rich epoxy primer

● Epoxy intermediate coat

● Acrylic top coat

Paint thickness and coating adhesion are also tested during production.

The coating should therefore be described according to these specified components rather than as an unsupported “four-layer coating system.”
