The everyday box for dense, heavy cargo. On a standard chassis the 34,000 lb tandem axle limit binds before the space does — you will normally weigh out before you cube out.

The true 8’6″-tall 40′. Increasingly rare — most carriers now run High Cube as the default 40′. Confirm availability before quoting it.

The workhorse. A full extra foot of interior height over the Standard 40′ for the same footprint, the same floor plan and the same road weight limit — which is why it has largely replaced it.

Five more feet of floor than a 40’HC. The road weight limit is lower than a 40′ — the box is heavier empty and rides on a longer wheelbase — so this is the right call when your cargo cubes out before it weighs out, not when it is dense.

Six inches wider inside than a standard 45′. That is the difference between fitting two 48″ pallets side by side and having to turn them — the biggest floor-plan upgrade available. King Ocean does not carry this box; Seaboard and Crowley do.

Published door height is 1″ taller than the interior height. On a reefer the clear height is limited by the machinery end, not by the door — so a piece can pass through the doorway and still not stand up at the front of the box. Confirm with us before planning a tight load.

Refrigeration machinery consumes roughly 17 inches of interior length versus a 20′ dry. Never plan a reefer load off dry-container dimensions.

Never block the T-floor — airflow runs beneath the cargo, and a blocked floor is the most common cause of a temperature claim. Load to the red line, not to the ceiling.

Removable tarpaulin roof and swing-out door header for crane or top loading. Usable capacity depends on how far your cargo protrudes above the rails — anything over the top line is out-of-gauge and changes the rate.

Removable tarpaulin roof and swing-out door header. The roof opening, not the door, is the constraint when you are craning cargo in from above.

Collapsible ends, no side walls, no roof — for cargo that will not fit through a door. There is no fixed capacity; the constraints are weight, lashing and out-of-gauge clearance.

For oversized machinery, vehicles and project cargo. Anything wider than the deck or taller than the end posts is out-of-gauge and needs approval before booking.
