Detailed Description

The 45ft high cube container is constructed from Corten steel, a weathering steel grade that forms a stable protective oxide layer when exposed to atmospheric conditions. This material provides structural integrity and resistance to corrosion, making the container suitable for extended outdoor placement and maritime transport.

The high cube configuration provides one foot of additional interior height compared to standard containers, with an internal height of 2.70 meters (8 ft 10 in) . This additional clearance accommodates tall items, stacked pallets, and equipment requiring overhead space.

The 45ft length offers the largest cubic capacity available among standard dry containers, with interior dimensions of 13.56 meters (44 ft 6 in) in length and 2.35 meters (7 ft 8 in) in width . The container includes intermediate corner castings at the 40-foot position, allowing it to be stacked with both 40ft and 45ft containers.

The floor system utilizes marine-grade plywood panels secured to steel cross-members, providing a durable, load-bearing surface for palletized goods and equipment. Double cargo doors feature steel locking bars compatible with padlocks or security seals. Ventilation openings promote airflow and reduce moisture accumulation.
