Features
Corner castings
Eight steel fittings located at the top and bottom corners of the container. They serve as connection points for crane lifting, twistlock securing, and container stacking.
Air vents
Small ventilation openings on the side walls that allow air exchange inside the container.
Lashing rings
Securing points inside the container for attaching straps or chains to prevent cargo from shifting during transportation.

What Is the Difference Between a 40' High Cube and a Standard 40ft Container?
The main difference between a 40′ High Cube and a standard 40ft container is their external height. The High Cube unit measures 2.896 m in height, compared to 2.591 m for a standard unit. This additional height increases the cubic capacity to approximately 76.3 m³, compared to 67.6 m³ for a standard unit, providing around 13% more capacity. Their internal heights are approximately 2.70 m and 2.39 m, respectively.
How Many Pallets Can a 40' High Cube Container Hold?
A 40′ High Cube Container can accommodate approximately 24-25 Euro pallets measuring 120 x 80 cm or 20-21 US pallets measuring 40 x 48 inches in a single layer. The pallet capacity per layer is the same as that of a standard 40ft container because both have similar floor areas. However, the additional height provides more room for stacking cargo vertically.
When Should I Choose a High Cube Instead of a Standard Container?
