45ft Shipping Containers – Heavy-Duty, Affordable

Description 45ft Shipping Containers – Heavy-Duty, High-Capacity Storage and Transport Solutions Product Overview The 45ft shipping container is a heavy-duty intermodal unit designed for the secure transportation and storage of large-volume, non-perishable goods. Constructed from corrosion-resistant Corten steel, this container provides a durable and weathertight enclosure suitable for use in various environments . Its standardized dimensions ensure compatibility with global intermodal logistics systems, including sea, rail, and road transport . This container type is frequently selected for applications requiring substantial interior capacity without exceeding standard payload limitations . Key Features High-Capacity Design: Offers approximately 86.0 cubic meters (3,040 cubic feet) of interior space, accommodating large-volume cargo efficiently . Heavy-Duty Construction: Manufactured from high-grade Corten steel, which is formulated to withstand harsh weather conditions and resist corrosion over prolonged use . ISO Standard Compliance: Built to International Organization for Standardization (ISO) specifications, ensuring seamless handling and stacking compatibility with global shipping equipment . Gooseneck Tunnel: Incorporates a gooseneck tunnel in the understructure, facilitating secure transport on specialized roll-on/roll-off (Ro-Ro) equipment and trailer chassis . Double-Swing Doors: Fitted with rear double doors that open to a width of approximately 2.34 meters (7 feet 8 inches), allowing for straightforward loading and unloading of palletized goods and bulk cargo . Secure Locking Mechanism: Equipped with lockable door rods and protective lock boxes to deter unauthorized access during transit or storage . Detailed Description The 45ft shipping container functions as a standardized freight unit, designed to move goods efficiently across international supply chains. Its structure consists of a steel frame with corrugated side walls, which provide rigidity while minimizing weight . The container is fully enclosed, offering protection from environmental elements such as rain, dust, and incidental impact during handling. As a high-cube variant, this container provides an additional foot of vertical clearance compared to standard-height units. This extra height is particularly advantageous for cargo that is voluminous but relatively light, as it maximizes the use of available space without exceeding weight limits . The internal length of approximately 13.55 meters (44 feet 6 inches) allows for the secure stowage of longer items that might not fit within a standard 40-foot unit. The container’s floor is constructed from marine-grade plywood, capable of supporting concentrated loads from forklifts or palletized cargo when properly distributed. Multiple lashing rings are integrated into the interior side walls and floor rails, providing secure anchor points for restraining goods during movement . The container’s design facilitates handling by overhead cranes, forklifts, or side-lifters, ensuring versatility across different terminal types and delivery locations.
