53'HC
BOXWELL
The 53'FT HC Dry Cargo Shipping Container provides an expansive enclosed cargo space for high-volume dry freight transportation.
Compared with shorter container formats, the extended 53-foot body maximizes usable cargo volume, delivering superior loading efficiency and lower per-unit freight costs.
With an internal cubic capacity of 110 m³ / 3,884 cu.ft., it provides substantial space optimized for volumetric dry cargo.
The 53-foot high-cube format is engineered specifically for high-capacity domestic intermodal transportation across North American and compatible rail-and-road networks.
This configuration integrates seamlessly with:
● 53-foot container chassis
● Domestic intermodal rail services
● Distribution centers
● Transload facilities
● Truck-to-rail cargo movements
Built to a high-cube external height of 9'6" (2,896 mm), this model provides extended vertical clearance to accommodate taller pallet stacks and higher-volume goods within a rugged, weather-tight dry freight structure.
Standard engineered parameters include:
● Maximum Gross Weight: 30,480 kg / 67,200 lb
● Tare Weight: 5,100 kg / 11,240 lb
● Payload: 25,380 kg / 55,960 lb
● Cubic Capacity: 110 m³ / 3,884 cu.ft.
These ratings reflect our strict manufacturing tolerances and structural calculations for safe, heavy-duty intermodal handling.
The container is built with high-strength structural steel fabricated using precision CNC cutting and standardized automated welding processes.
The enclosed heavy-gauge corrugated steel body provides superior rigidity, racking resistance, and complete weather-tight protection during high-speed rail transit, highway transport, and container stacking.
Before painting, the steel structure undergoes Sa2.5 abrasive blast cleaning to eliminate rust and scale.
Our high-durability marine coating system consists of:
● Zinc-rich epoxy primer
● Epoxy intermediate coat
● Acrylic top coat
Coating dry film thickness (DFT) and adhesion are strictly verified during quality control to provide long-lasting protection against atmospheric corrosion, salt spray, and extreme logistics environments.
The 53'FT HC Dry Cargo Shipping Container is engineered for high-volume freight transportation within compatible domestic and regional intermodal networks.
Specifically designed for high-efficiency road-to-rail intermodal corridors, maximizing payload volume per railcar or tractor-trailer chassis.
Optimized for high-cube, non-temperature-controlled commercial merchandise, consumer packaged goods (CPG), e-commerce stock, and boxed appliances where maximizing internal cubic volume drastically reduces shipping costs.
Provides secure, weather-tight transport for crated machinery, lightweight automotive assemblies, fabricated components, and palletized commercial products.
Integrates seamlessly into modern hub-and-spoke supply chain operations involving:
● Warehouses
● Distribution centers
● Intermodal terminals
● Transload facilities
● Trucking networks
Enables efficient cross-dock transloading from arriving 20-foot and 40-foot ocean containers into high-capacity 53-foot domestic units, consolidating cargo to minimize inland rail and highway transport costs.

Every offshore container passes through a complete manufacturing process under strict quality control.
Qingdao Boxwell Container Co., Ltd. was founded in May 2020 in Jiaozhou, Qingdao.
Our manufacturing facility covers approximately 60,000 m², including 32,000 m² of modern workshop space, with more than 200 skilled workers.
We manufacture an extensive range of standard ISO freight containers, large-capacity domestic containers, specialized units, and customized equipment housings for global markets.
Our core engineering and R&D team brings over 20 years of direct industry experience in intermodal containers, special ISO units, and customized equipment structures.
Our workshop is equipped with advanced machinery, including:
● Steel uncoiling machines
● Surface preparation equipment
● Laser cutting machines
● Automatic welding equipment
● Independent painting rooms
These resources allow complete in-house control across all cutting, forming, welding, and surface-treatment processes.
We operate a comprehensive quality management system encompassing:
● Raw material inspection
● Production process monitoring
● Final product testing
We operate a dedicated in-house ISO/CSC testing facility equipped with professional test rigs to perform full proof-load, structural, and racking tests, providing valid CSC certification for international transport.
We support build-to-print fabrication from customer drawings as well as in-house custom engineering. Our team assists throughout technical review, 3D/CAD design, fabrication, testing, and delivery to ensure full compatibility with specific chassis, railcars, and handling equipment.
Located approximately 20 km from Qingdao Port, our primary export terminal, we manage comprehensive export packing and worldwide logistics coordination.
It is an extended 53-foot high-cube (9'6" high) enclosed container designed for transporting high-volume dry, non-temperature-controlled freight across compatible rail, road, and intermodal networks.
Standard parameters are:
● Maximum Gross Weight: 30,480 kg / 67,200 lb
● Tare Weight: 5,100 kg / 11,240 lb
● Payload: 25,380 kg / 55,960 lb
● Cubic Capacity: 110 m³ / 3,884 cu.ft.
No. While standard 20-foot and 40-foot containers are standard for international ocean container ships, 53-foot containers are designed primarily for domestic and regional intermodal networks (rail and road trucking). For international supply chains, cargo is typically transloaded from ocean containers into 53-foot units at coastal hubs for efficient inland transit.
Yes. It is fully engineered for domestic intermodal transportation, compatible with standard 53-foot gooseneck chassis, domestic intermodal rail well cars, and standard container handling cranes.
This container complies with ISO 1496-1 and applicable intermodal structural requirements, supplied with a CSC Certificate and safety approval plate. Additional third-party classification society approvals can be provided based on project requirements.
No. This unit is an intermodal dry cargo container. For offshore energy and marine platform operations, we manufacture dedicated DNV-ST-E271 / EN 12079 certified offshore CCUs.
The surface undergoes Sa2.5 abrasive shot blasting followed by a high-performance three-coat marine paint system:
● Zinc-rich epoxy primer
● Epoxy intermediate coat
● Acrylic top coat
Dry film thickness and paint adhesion are strictly verified to ensure long-term corrosion resistance.
