When choosing between a 40-foot shipping container in Dry Van (DV) or High Cube (HC) configurations, the primary differences revolve around the height and the resulting capacity. Here's a comparison to help you decide which might be more suitable for your needs:

Dry Van (DV) Container:

• External Dimensions:
  • Length: 40 feet (12.19 meters)
  • Width: 8 feet (2.44 meters)
  • Height: 8 feet 6 inches (2.59 meters)
• Internal Dimensions:
  • Length: Approximately 39 feet 5 inches (12.03 meters)
  • Width: Approximately 7 feet 8 inches (2.33 meters)
  • Height: Approximately 7 feet 10 inches (2.39 meters)
• Volume: Around 2,350 cubic feet (66.5 cubic meters)
• Weight Capacity: Typically around 67,200 pounds (30,480 kg) gross weight

High Cube (HC) Container:

• External Dimensions:
  • Length: 40 feet (12.19 meters)
  • Width: 8 feet (2.44 meters)
  • Height: 9 feet 6 inches (2.90 meters)
• Internal Dimensions:
  • Length: Approximately 39 feet 5 inches (12.03 meters)
  • Width: Approximately 7 feet 8 inches (2.33 meters)
  • Height: Approximately 8 feet 10 inches (2.69 meters)
• Volume: Around 2,700 cubic feet (76.5 cubic meters)
• Weight Capacity: Typically similar to DV, around 67,200 pounds (30,480 kg) gross weight

Key Considerations:

1. Height and Volume:
   • The HC container provides an extra foot of height, resulting in roughly 12% more internal volume. This is advantageous if you need to transport or store voluminous but not necessarily heavy items.
2. Weight Distribution:
   • Both containers have similar maximum weight capacities, but the additional volume in the HC might allow for better distribution of lighter goods, potentially optimizing loading and unloading processes.

Technical details:

The shipping container is mainly constructed with steel frames, corrugated panels welded by MAG shielded Arc welding. All welds of the exterior including the base frames are continuous with full penetration. No welding porosity shall appear on the welding seams. Wooden floor is fixed to the cross members by self-tapping screws. All crevices will be sealed with elastic sealing compound.

Corner Fittings

All corner fittings used will comply with ISO/1161 standard.

Floor:

The floor is of 28 MM thick plywood or OSB floor. All joints between each plywood and the whole floor perimeter are sealed with waterborne sealant.

Paint:

4.2 paint, waterborne base paint system

Doors dimensions and opening:

Width: 2,340 mm

Height: 2.280 mm

Capacity: ~66,5qm

Max. Gross Wt.: 30,480 KGS
