Description
This 40-foot high cube shipping container offers approximately 320 square feet of enclosed space with an internal height of 8 feet 9 inches. The unit was utilized for a single freight voyage and has been retired from active shipping service. Construction consists of COR-TEN weathering steel.
As a one-way container, this unit exhibits minimal cosmetic wear. The double doors at one end open to the full width of the container. Vents are integrated into the container design to allow airflow. The plywood floor provides a surface elevated above ground level. Corner castings at each corner allow for lifting and transport.
The high cube configuration provides additional vertical space suitable for taller equipment or storage configurations. This extra height is achieved through extended corner posts while maintaining the same external footprint as a standard 40-foot container.
