Are the dimensions and load capacity of the container exactly as stated on this page?
The philosophy of making containers has been to integrate means to transport goods; But it should be kept in mind that due to the existence of various manufacturers, the dimensions of the container may differ by a few centimeters, which of course is not very important. The maximum weight (tonnage) of loading the container is also determined based on the CSC Plate of the container. But in addition to the tonnage of the container, the ship and the line in which the container is to be transported should be considered. For example, when shipping to Canada, there are container tonnage restrictions, which will result in fines.

Standard 20 foot container (6 meter Dry Cargo Container)
On this page, we want to talk about the standard 20-foot container (Dry Cargo Containers), which is used to transport dry goods, and check the technical specifications and standard dimensions of the 20-foot container.
With the emergence of containers in the 60s, a great revolution was created in the land, air and sea transportation industry; In such a way that today without containers, we will have a very difficult transportation and it is unimaginable for anyone. Because moving many loads becomes expensive and problematic. In general, it can be said that containers are used to transport many products and goods due to the following structural features:
- Various and standard dimensions
- High safety factor (keeping goods against theft)
- Low cost of transportation
- High strength and resistance
- Easier handling, loading and unloading
- Etc
But among the types of containers, the standard 20-foot container (standard 6-meter container), which is used to transport dry goods, has a much wider application in sea and land transportation; Even after the work is finished, due to the suitable dimensions and the security it can create, this container can be used as a warehouse. By making changes to this type of container, it can be used as a residence or for service kiosks and stores. In general, this type of container has many uses; For this reason, buying and selling second-hand and new 20-foot containers does not take much time.
A standard 20-foot container is usually made of aluminum or steel, and because it is insulated against moisture penetration, it is also called a dry container. The difference between an aluminum or steel container is as follows:
- Aluminum containers: have a larger space but lower load weight capacity
- Steel containers: have a smaller space but a higher load weight capacity
In the body of steel containers, 3 mm thick steel is used along with wooden coated boards to have the greatest resistance against impact and pressure caused by bearing weight. The doors of this container are anti-theft type and have a very high safety factor.
This type of container is known as unit container, which is also called TEU. Also, because the length of this container is 6 meters, it is also called a 6-meter container.
The 20-foot container has specific technical specifications and dimensions determined by the World Transport Organization and is manufactured with the same specifications and dimensions in all countries. For this reason, it is widely used for sea and land transportation between countries.
20-foot DC and HQ container
20 feet DC container is usually used in the transportation and handling of dry goods and products, which are usually produced with dimensions of 20 feet or 60 feet.
A 20-foot HQ container or a 20-foot High Cube container is exactly the same as a standard 20-foot container; But with the difference that it is higher. These types of containers are usually produced with a length of 20 feet to be used in many sea, land and air shipments.
20 feet containers are divided into different types according to their usage; Such as dry container, refrigerated container, tank container, etc., but in the article, we only examine the standard 20 feet container.
Advantages of using a standard 20-foot container (6 meters)
As it was said, due to the standard dimensions of this type of container, it has a special place in the transportation industry of products and goods. The most important advantages of this container can be stated as follows:
- Easier loading and transportation of goods
- Better statistics of products and goods
- High safety factor and prevent theft of goods
- Transporting goods in bulk (such as agricultural products, sugar, sand, gravel)
- Optimum use of vehicle space (ship, cargo plane, etc.)
- Reducing costs of packaging, loading and unloading
- Prevent water, humidity, dust from penetrating
- The possibility of sending door to door
- Product protection against impact and pressure
- Resistant to sunlight, rain and snow
- Etc
Of course, the 20-foot container must have certain characteristics according to the application and the field in which it is used. For example, if a 20-foot container is used for export to other countries, it is better to have good insulation and be sure of the strength of the structure so that the goods are not damaged during loading and transportation.
The price of standard 20-foot container (6-meter Dry Cargo Container)
Most likely, you can guess yourself that it is not possible to declare a single price for all 20 feet containers. Because according to the conditions of each container, its price will be different. There are various factors and parameters that can be used to determine the price of a standard 20-foot container (6-meter container). such as the manufacturing company, year of production, etc
Another thing that causes the price of containers to fluctuate is the fluctuation of currency prices; Because containers are usually bought and sold at the price of dollars or other global currencies. The dimensions of the containers also affect their prices. For example, the price of a 20-foot container is lower than a 40-foot container, and the reason for this is its smaller dimensions.
In general, you should buy containers based on your budget; But if you are looking for an affordable and cheaper purchase, you can also use a second-hand container and consider the price of a second-hand 20-foot container.
The price of a second-hand 20-foot container is more suitable than a new 20-foot container; Of course, if the container looks healthy and has the necessary functionality. To determine the price of a second-hand container, the following factors should be considered:
- Container health
- Dimensions and size
- Year of construction
- Manufacturer
- Being healthy and clean
- No rot in the bottom of the container
- No holes in the roof of the container
What points should we pay attention to when buying a second-hand 20-foot container?
To buy a second-hand 20-foot container, you need to visit it in person, and we suggest doing the following:
(1) First, see the container in terms of its appearance and visually check the amount of damage to the container.
(2) Next, check the health of the doors and hinges.
(3) Then, go inside the container and close the doors. When it is daytime, under the sunlight you can find out if the container has holes or not to make sure that there is no water penetration.
(4) Check the year of manufacture of the container.
(5) You should check the green leaf of the 20-foot container and its permits from legal authorities so that you don’t get into trouble for transporting the goods.
Another point is that you should choose your container based on the type of cargo. If your cargo has a high volume and low weight, a container with a lower manufacturing year is suitable; But if the weight of your load is high, containers with a closer year of manufacture should be used.
In general, we suggest that you contact the experts of Salian Containers and get more detailed information about the price and terms of sale of used containers.

What is the weight of a 20-foot container and how many tons of cargo can it hold?
According to the type of cargo, the weight capacity of a 20-foot container varies and depends on factors such as the net weight of the cargo, the distribution of weight inside the container, the vehicle carrying the cargo, and the restrictions of each country. But in general, the weight of each standard 20-foot container is usually 2230 kg, and up to 28 tons (28220 kg) of cargo can be placed inside it.

Some companies sell those containers after a few years of using them, which are called second-hand or used containers. Usually, the quality of a second-hand container is high, and because of its strong and steel body, it is not much different from a new container.
Are used containers repaired?
Due to the steel body of the containers, they are usually not seriously damaged in the long run. As a result, there is no need to repair the body. Sometimes the container doors have problems that are easily repaired. Also, sometimes the body of the container may have been pierced for the passage of cable or pipe during use, in which case, part of the body is repaired. As a result, these containers have a lower price among second-hand containers.
