The internal dimensions of 40-foot-high containers, the 20-foot and 40-foot containers we usually see are called dry goods containers, also known as grocery containers, and others call them containers. Let's look at the internal dimensions of a 40-foot container.

40-foot-high containers with internal dimensions of 1 40-foot (40GP) containers (containers):

Common internal dimensions are: 12.032 (length) ×2.352 (width) ×2.385 m (height).

The internal dimensions of international specifications are: 12024 (length) ×2352 (width) ×2390mm (height).

The internal dimensions of a container refer to its maximum length, width and height. The height is the distance from the bottom plate of the box body to the bottom of the top plate of the box body, the width is the distance between two inner linings, and the length is the distance from the inner side plate of the box door to the inner lining plate of the end wall. It determines the internal volume of the container and the maximum size of the goods in the container. Generally, there are 20GP, 40GP, 40HC/HQ (high cabinet), 45HC/HQ (high cabinet) and 20 OT (open cabinet).

Classification of internal dimensions of international containers;

According to the classification of international trade goods, they are generally divided into bulk goods and goods suitable for containers.

At present, the container cargo trade of international shipping trunk lines has basically adopted container transportation, but with the growth of the world economy and the transfer of manufacturing bases, the total trade volume continues to increase. The Asia-Pacific economy dominated by China has not only increased the demand for containers in domestic transportation, but also prolonged the world economic boom cycle, especially the recovery of American economy since the second half of 2003 and Japanese economy since this year, which will promote world trade.

Internal dimensions of a 40-foot-high container 2. What are the dimensions of other 40-foot cabinets and 40-foot high containers?

We all know that containers are generally divided into ordinary containers, high containers, or ultra-high containers (45GP). 40 feet usually means the length of the container. For different cabinets, the same size and volume are still different. Generally speaking, the transportation industry refers to the internal dimensions of containers, which are used to calculate the packing volume and freight rate. First, let's look at their differences. According to specifications and dimensions: At present, the dry containers commonly used in the world are:

(1)40 feet by 8 feet by 6 inches container;

Overall dimensions are12.2m× 2.44m× 2.59m (40ft× 8ft× 8ft × 6in);

The internal volume is11.8m× 2.13m× 2.18m. ..

(2) A 40-foot-by-8-foot-by-9-foot-6-inch cabinet is called a 40-foot-high cabinet.

Overall dimensions are12.2m× 2.44m× 2.9m (40ft× 8ft× 9ft 6 in);

The internal volume is11.8m× 2.13m× 2.72m. ..

Here we should clearly distinguish the size difference between a 40-foot container and a 40-foot container. In addition, we can specifically get the following data:

40-foot cabinet: the internal volume of 40`GP is11.8x2.13x2.18m, and the delivery gross weight is generally 25t and the volume is 54m3.

The internal volume is11.8mx2.13mx2.18m, and the gross delivery weight is generally 22 tons and the volume is 54 cubic meters.

40-foot-high container: the internal volume is11.8mx2.13mx2.72m. The gross delivery weight is generally 22 tons and the volume is 68 cubic meters.

2. Pay attention to the size error of the 40-foot high cabinet when buying.

From the above description, we can clearly distinguish the differences. I would also like to remind you that many friends reported that the sizes they saw online were not the same. What is the reason?

The theoretical dimensions of a 40-foot-high cabinet are as follows:

12.032m (length) x2.352m (width) x2.698m (height).

In fact, due to production errors and deformation of parts, the actual dimensions are as follows:

Measuring dimensions of a 40-foot-high cabinet:12.017m (length) x2.342m (width) x2.693m (height).

The error between the above theory and practice mainly depends on whether to remove the volume occupied by the four corners of the container and ensure that the door can be closed after loading, so the actual loading volume is less than the calculated value. The loading capacity people talk about is generally small capacity. In actual loading, depending on the nature of the goods, a 1 20-foot container can sometimes hold 30-3 1. So when friends buy it, they must remove it.

Internal dimensions of 40-foot-high containers Three special container types

Open top container

The feature of this container is that the top of the container can be easily taken off and put on. There are two kinds of box tops: hard top and soft top. The hard top is made of thin steel plate and is loaded and unloaded by lifting machinery. Soft top is generally made of canvas, plastic cloth or plastic-coated cloth, which can be rolled to one end when it is opened. This container is suitable for loading large goods and heavy goods, such as steel, wood and machinery, especially fragile heavy goods such as glass plates. The goods are hoisted into the box from the top by crane, which is not easy to damage the goods and is convenient to fix in the box.

Ventilation container

A ventilated container is characterized in that there are several windows for ventilation on its side wall or top wall, which is suitable for transporting groceries with certain ventilation and moisture-proof requirements, such as fruits and vegetables. If ventilation window is closed, it can also be used as a grocery box.

Platform-based container

This container is characterized by no top wall and side wall, even the end wall is removed, only the bottom plate and four corner columns. This container can be loaded and unloaded from front, back, left, right and above, and is suitable for loading long and heavy pieces, such as heavy machinery, steel, wood and steel ingots. The gantry container is not waterproof, and the wet goods cannot be shipped. If it must be transported, it must be covered and sealed with canvas.

Platform container

This kind of container is simpler than shelf container, and only the bottom plate is reserved. Mainly used for loading and unloading long and heavy goods. Such as heavy machinery and equipment, steel, etc. The length and width of the platform are the same as the bottom size of international standard containers, and the same fasteners and lifting devices as other containers can be used. The adoption of this kind of container breaks the past concept that containers must have a certain volume.

refrigerated container

Refrigerated containers, also known as refrigerated cabinets, are heat-insulated containers that mainly transport frozen food and can keep the set low temperature. It is specially designed for transporting fish, shrimp, meat, fresh fruits, vegetables and other foods. At present, there are basically two kinds of refrigerated containers used in the world: one is called mechanical refrigerated container with freezer inside; The other container has no freezer, only heat insulation equipment. The end wall of the container is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet. After the box is installed in the cabin, the ship's freezer provides cold air, which is called clutch refrigerated container (also called external refrigerated container).

Liquid container

As the name implies, this container is specially designed for transporting liquid goods, such as alcohol, gasoline and chemicals. It consists of a tank and a frame, wherein the tank is used for loading liquid, and the frame is used for supporting and fixing the tank.

The outer wall of the tank is insulated by thermal insulation materials, and the inner wall is generally polished to avoid liquid remaining on the wall. In order to reduce the viscosity of the liquid, there is also a heater at the lower part of the tank, and the temperature inside the tank can be observed through the thermometer installed at the upper part. In order to facilitate loading and unloading, the top of the tank is provided with a loading port and the bottom is provided with a discharge valve. When loading, the liquid enters from the top loading port of the tank, and flows out from the discharge port when unloading, and can also be sucked out from the top loading port with a straw.

Automobile container

This kind of container is specially used to transport small cars. Its structural feature is that there is no side wall, only a frame and a box bottom. In order to prevent the car from sliding in the box, the bottom of the box is also specially equipped with binding equipment and anti-skid steel plates. Most car containers are designed with two floors, which can hold many cars.

Pen container or livestock container.

This container is specially used for transporting live animals such as chickens, ducks, pigs and cows. In order to avoid sunlight, the top and side walls of animal containers are made of FRP. In addition, in order to ensure the fresh air in the box, windows made of aluminum wire mesh are used on the side and end faces to strengthen ventilation. There are cleaning ports and drainage ports under the side walls, and there are sliding doors that move up and down, which can clean up the garbage. The side wall of the box body is also provided with a feed inlet. Animal containers on ships are generally installed on the deck, because the air on the deck is ventilated and convenient for cleaning and care.

Clothing container

Also known as a suitcase. Characterized in that a plurality of cross bars are installed on the upper side beam in the container, a plurality of belt buckles, nylon buckles or ropes are hung on each cross bar, and the hooks on the clothes hangers are directly hung on the buckles or ropes. This kind of clothing loading mode belongs to unpackaged transportation, which not only saves packaging materials and packaging costs, but also reduces labor and improves the transportation quality of clothing.

Bulk container (solid bulk container)

The container is used to transport powdery or granular goods, such as soybeans, rice and various feeds. There are 2-3 loading ports at the top of this container and unloading ports at the lower part of the door. Using this container to transport bulk cargo, on the one hand, improves the loading and unloading efficiency, on the other hand, improves the freight quality and reduces the harm of dust to human body and environment.

A 20-foot container

This kind of container is specially designed for loading small and heavy goods, such as cast iron products, hardware products, tiles and so on. Its size is standard 20 feet. Because the general standard 20-foot container can only load 17.5 tons of goods, it can't meet the requirements of some goods, so the carrier provides a 20-foot container with a maximum load of 26 tons or even 28 tons of goods.
