45' High-Cube Container

Understanding the 45' High Cube Container

The 45-foot High Cube (45HC) container represents the pinnacle of intermodal capacity for standard logistics operations. By combining the extra length of a 45-foot frame with the additional vertical clearance of a High Cube design, this unit provides an astonishing 86 cubic meters (m³) of interior space. This is approximately 27% more volume than a standard 40-foot unit, making it the supreme choice for light-density, high-bulk cargo.

Typically utilized on specific long-haul trade routes, particularly across the Pacific, the 45HC is ideal for massive shipments of apparel, plastic products, furniture, or home goods. Its slightly longer footprint requires specialized chassis and vessel slots, but for high-volume retailers, the economy of scale it provides is unmatched. It allows for more pallets per container and fewer total containers per shipment, significantly reducing road transport leg and maximizing the efficiency of every sea voyage.
