What Is the Difference Between a 45' HC and a 40' HC Container?
The main differences between a 45′ High Cube and a 40′ High Cube container are their length and cubic capacity. The 45′ HC unit measures 13.716 m in length and has a capacity of 86 m³, while the 40′ HC unit measures 12.192 m and has a capacity of 76.3 m³. This gives the 45′ HC approximately 13% more storage space. Their tare weights and maximum payloads also differ according to each unit’s specifications.
How Many Pallets Can a 45' High Cube Container Hold?
A 45′ High Cube Container can accommodate approximately 27 Euro pallets measuring 120 x 80 cm or 24 US pallets measuring 48 x 40 inches in a single layer. This is around two to three more Euro pallets than a 40′ HC unit, depending on the loading arrangement.
Can All Ports, Ships, and Trucks Handle 45ft Containers?
No. Not all ports, vessels, and truck fleets can handle 45ft containers. Compatibility also depends on the shipping route and transportation services available. Before placing an order, confirm acceptance of the 45ft unit with the shipping line, terminal, and road transportation provider.
Can a 45' High Cube Container Be Used for Export?
Yes, a 45′ High Cube Container can be used for export and import, provided it meets the applicable CSC safety requirements. However, acceptance also depends on the shipping line, port facilities, and shipping route. Confirm these requirements before placing an order.
How Much Does a 45' High Cube Container Cost?
The price of a 45′ High Cube Shipping Container depends on the unit’s condition and stock availability. Contact Tradecorp to request a quotation for purchasing or renting a unit based on your requirements.
Are New and Used Units Available?
Tradecorp offers 45′ High Cube Containers in new (one-trip) and used conditions, subject to stock availability. Used units may be available in Cargo Worthy (CW), Wind and Watertight (WWT), or As Is condition. Each category has different condition levels and suitability. Contact Tradecorp to confirm unit availability.
When Should I Choose a 45' HC Instead of a 40' HC?
Choose a 45′ High Cube if you need greater cubic capacity for transporting large-volume, relatively lightweight cargo and your shipping route can accommodate a 45ft container. A 40′ High Cube may be more suitable if its 76.3 m³ capacity is sufficient or transportation access limits the use of a 45ft unit. Check the maximum payload and transportation requirements of each unit before making your choice.
