CHARACTERISTICS OF THE 40′ HC CONTAINER

40-footers, along with 20-foot samples, are the most popular containers in sea transportation and rail delivery of products of various certification groups. The 40′ HC is a regular forty foot tank with increased height.

Its use is relevant for the delivery of products that do not fit into a classic 40-footer. The high cube samples are one foot taller than a regular container with a similar load capacity of 26.7 tons. Products with a height of up to 28.9 meters can be placed in the container.

The tanks have a special tunnel at the bottom of the end wall, which is organized for transporting containers in trailers with a centered jib. This design makes it possible to position the container lower to compensate for its increased height. This plays a big role in the delivery of sea containers.

TYPES AND BENEFITS OF 40 FEET TANKS WITH INCREASED HEIGHT

Samples are available in several varieties, which include models equipped with thermostats, a convenient opening roof and other design features. The cost of transportation depends on the configuration of the model. The advantages of packaging include:

• complete safety when transporting goods;
• solving the problem of temporary storage of products and consignments;

• complete tightness;
• locking gates.
