Units

40ft Open Top High Cube does not have a roof but is covered by a tarpauline instead. This allows loading oversized cargo from the top.

The inner size of a 40ft OT HC is 12029mm x 2350mm x 2683mm (LxWxH) which gives a total loading volume of 75.8 m3. The container has a door that's 2350mm x 2649mm (WxH).

A 40ft OT HC has a default tare of 3980kg and a maximum payload of 22000kg. Depending on your use case or specific container this might vary and is easy to change.

Every aspect of the container, from lengths to door dimensions, is customizable. If your own equipment doesn't match the standard, you can build your own container with the same builder every unit in this library was made with.
