Description

High cube sea containers are similar in structure to standard containers, but taller. In contrast to standard containers, which have a maximum height of 2591 mm (8'6"), high-cube containers are 2896 mm, or 9'6", tall. High-cube containers are for the most part 40' long, but are sometimes made as 45' containers.

Many lashing rings, capable of bearing loads of at most 1000 kg, are mounted on the front top-end rail bottom cross member, and the corner posts.

Many 40' containers have a recess at the front end, which centers the containers on the so-called gooseneck chassis. These recesses allow the containers to lie lower and, therefore, be taller.
