A 40ft container is a cargo shipping container with standard external dimensions of 12.192 x 2.438 x 2.591 meters and internal dimensions of 12.045 x 2.309 x 2.379 meters. In general, a 40ft container is twice as long as a 20ft container.
Based on its size, a 40ft container comes in two main variants: the standard type and the high cube. Unlike the standard version, the 40ft high cube container has dimensions of 12.192 x 2.438 x 2.896 meters, offering extra height and larger capacity.
A 40ft container is ideal for transporting large-volume cargo. In other words, when a single 20ft container cannot accommodate all the goods, using a 40ft container becomes a more economical and efficient choice for one-time shipment.
In the shipping and logistics industry, 20ft and 40ft containers are the most commonly used sizes. Therefore, most types of shipping containers available in the market are also produced in the 40ft variant, including:
- General Purpose
- Open Top
- Flat Rack or Platform
- Tunnel Container
- Open Side
- Refrigerated
- Insulated or Thermal Container
- ISO Tank Container
