What is the difference between cargo-worthy (CW) and wind and watertight (WWT)?
In most cases, a cargo-worthy (CW) container is no different (weather-resistant-wise) than a wind & watertight (WWT) container. However, a CW has been inspected by a maritime surveyor and can be used to ship goods/products overseas.
What’s the difference between a standard and a high cube container?
A standard container has an exterior height of 8’6″, while a high cube container is 9’6″ tall — offering an extra foot of vertical space for storing or transporting taller items.
Do 20ft containers come in high cube (HC) sizes?
Yes. The 20ft High Cube container offers an exterior height of 9’6″, making it one foot taller than standard shipping containers. This added height provides extra vertical space, making it an ideal solution for storing or transporting oversized or bulky items that may not fit in regular containers. Whether for commercial use, construction, or personal storage, high cube containers deliver the flexibility and capacity you need.
How much does a shipping container weighs?
An empty 20ft Standard (8′-6″) container weighs between 4,500 and 5,000 lbs.
An empty 40ft Standard (8′-6″) container weighs around 8,400 lbs.
An empty 40ft High Cube (9′-6″) container weighs around 8,700 lbs.
