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.

High cube container (HQ) 20-ft and 40-ft
On this page, we want to talk about the 20 and 40 feet high cube (High Cube) container, which is usually used for transporting dry goods, and also check the technical specifications and standard dimensions of the high ceiling (HQ) container.
As you know, today, without containers, it is no longer possible to send goods to another city or country so easily. In fact, it can be said that containers can no longer be removed from the land (rail and road), sea and air transportation system. Of course, the dependence of today’s transportation system on containers is not without reason! Containers have many advantages, some of which can be mentioned below. In fact, the following are the answers to the question “Why should we use containers?”:
- Reducing the cost of packing, loading and unloading
- Easier and faster loading and transferring of goods
- Better counting and statistics of products and goods
- High security and prevent theft of goods
- Transporting goods in bulk (such as agricultural products, sugar, sand, gravel)
- Optimal use of vehicle space (ship, train, cargo plane, etc.)
- Prevent water, humidity, dust from penetrating
- Product protection against impact and pressure
- Resistant to sunlight, rain and snow
- The possibility of sending door to door
- etc
In addition to the advantages of using containers in transportation, we should also know that not all containers are the same shape and size, and the use of each of them is different; Such as refrigerated containers used to transport perishable goods or containers with tanks used to transport liquids. But in general, it can be said that the most common containers are dry containers that are used to transport dry goods; Such as 20ft standard container and 40ft regular container
Containers are made in various dimensions; Such as 10-foot, 20-foot, 30-foot, and 40-foot containers, the most common and widely used of which are 20-foot and 40-foot containers. Of course, shipping lines use 45-foot containers and 60-foot containers, which are rarely used. These dimensions that we said, in fact, declare the length of the containers. But there are also containers whose height is different compared to others; Such as high height containers (HC) of 20 feet and 40 feet, which are about 30 cm higher than the height of other containers.
So it can be concluded that all containers have the same height according to the standard of the World Transport Organization; Except for High Cube containers, which are a little taller and are used to move high-height goods. Also know that among containers with different dimensions, 40-foot containers are the least expensive container in transportation.
The transportation system, like everything else, has undergone many changes over the years. One of the good changes is that all containers must be ISO certified. This is to make the containers suitable for both sea and road and rail transport.
Containers carrying dry goods are usually made of aluminum or steel, which, of course, have a number of differences. For example, the internal dimensions of steel containers are larger, and as a result, a larger volume of goods can be placed in these containers.
Containers were first made of wood, and their wooden type still exists; But nowadays, most of the containers are made of iron and steel. Making aluminum containers is because of their lightness and durability. There are also containers made of fiberglass. Fiberglass containers are both durable and very light and easier to move. Of course, insulating panels are used for refrigerated containers that must have double walls.
What information is included on the containers?
Whether for a high-height container (High Cube) or any other container, there is a container CSC Plate (container identity card) that provides information about that container; Such as the year of production of the container, dimensions of the container, materials used to make the container, net weight of the container (without load), maximum load weight, ISO code, etc.
The ISO code inserted on each container shows details such as the type of container, the purpose of its use, etc. In general, we have to pay attention to that information and make a decision based on that to load the goods in each container.
45-ft high cube container and its dimensions
As mentioned, containers are made according to World Transport Organization standards; But in the meantime, there are containers that do not follow it. Such as the 45-foot container, which is an American standard container. Therefore, its production and transportation costs increase.
The only difference between a 45-foot container and a 40-foot container is that its length is about 1.5 meters longer and provides users with more space. In Iran, buying a 40-foot container is more common than buying a 45-foot container, which is an American standard, due to its technical specifications and global standard dimensions.
A 45-foot container can be divided into two categories based on dimensions:
- Standard 45-foot container
- High cube 45-foot container (HQ)
Standard 45-foot container dimensions:
- External length: 13.716 m
- External width: 2.438 m
- External height: 2,591 m
High cube 45-foot container dimensions (HQ):
- External length: 13.716 m
- External width: 2.438 m
- External height: 2,896 m
The price of HQ (High Cube) container
Like any other product, a single price cannot be announced for the purchase of a high-height container; Because the conditions of each container are different from the other and there are various parameters that affect the price of the high cube container; Such as year of production, manufacturing company, container materials, etc.
Another parameter that affects the price of high-altitude containers is the currency price; Because containers are usually bought and sold at the price of dollars or other global currencies. Also, the size of the container has an effect on its price. For example, the price of a 20 feet high container is lower than the price of a 40 feet high container, and the reason for this is its smaller dimensions and smaller size.
Therefore, you should buy containers based on your budget; But if you are looking for a cheaper purchase, you can also use a second-hand HQ container.
Factors affecting the price of used high-cube containers
As you know, usually the price of used goods is lower than new goods. So, the price of a used container is lower than a new container. Of course, being a second-hand container does not always mean its price is low. If the purchase is made in an unprincipled manner, sometimes the price of a second-hand high-height container may be the same as a new container for you.
So, before getting acquainted with the principles of buying second-hand containers, you should be familiar with the various factors affecting their prices. Many factors influence the price of second-hand high-altitude containers, the most important of which are the following:
- Container health
- Dimensions and size
- Kind of container
- Manufacturer
- Year of construction
- No rot in the bottom of the container
- No holes in the roof of the container
- etc
Also keep in mind that containers that have a so-called invoice or clearance license have a higher price and credibility in the market.
Material and quality of the container
As mentioned, containers are made of metal. Some of them are made of corten steel, which has very high quality and resistance, and of course, they have a higher price. But some are made of galvanized steel or aluminum, which have lower weight and lower price. Of course, the container made with ordinary metal has more durability, efficiency and resistance.
Place and time of purchase
Another factor that affects the price of a high-rise container is the place of purchase. The further the place of purchase of the container is from the place of use, the higher the purchase cost; Because to transport the container to the place of use, special machines must be used, which are expensive.
Also, the time to buy the container is also important. Each product has a specific supply and demand time. In some seasons of the year, the freight is more and the demand for the container increases, as a result, the price of the container increases. So, you should buy the container when the demand in the market is low.
Exchange rate
As mentioned before, the exchange rate affects the price of the container; Because the increase in the exchange rate increases the price of metals and products made of metal. Therefore, the price of the high-rise container will also increase. Due to the fact that containers are made of metal, their prices will increase under the influence of this issue. It doesn’t matter if it is a new and newly built container or a second-hand and used container, in any case, the price will go up.
What points should we pay attention to when buying a used high cube container?
To buy a used cube container, you need to visit it in person and do the following:
(1) Consider the seller’s credit first.
(2) Visually inspect the container and ensure that it is sound.
(3) Check the health of doors and hinges.
(4) Go inside the container and close the doors. From inside the container and under the sunlight, you can find out whether the container has holes or not to make sure that water does not penetrate.
(5) Check the manufacturing company and the year the container was made.
(6) You should check the green leaf of the container and its licenses from the 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.
