Extra length for storage and cargo layouts

A new 45ft container is about 1.52 m longer than a 40ft model. The extra room can help with bulky goods, packaging or equipment. Check your choice against a loading plan and measurements of the proposed site.

Standard 45ft dimensions describe one configuration

The standard catalogue reference measures 13 716 × 2438 × 2591 mm externally. Internal dimensions are approximately 13 540 × 2350 × 2389 mm, giving about 76 m³ of space. These figures are not a specification for a 45HC or pallet wide container.

Choose 45HC and pallet wide around the cargo

High cube, or HC, describes increased height. Pallet wide, or PW, describes a wider configuration for pallet loading. A model can have both features, but the label “45ft” does not establish either one.

Calculate pallet capacity for the selected model

Send pallet dimensions, quantity, height and total weight. We will confirm internal width, door opening and layout. Equal external length does not mean equal pallet capacity. The permitted load comes from the specific container's data.

New 45ft container prices and availability

Specify standard, HC or PW requirements, quantity and intended use. We will confirm price and availability for that configuration. For freight, agree CSC documentation, examination status, the route and carrier requirements before purchase.

Plan delivery before ordering

A 13.7 m container and its delivery vehicle need sufficient approach, turning and unloading space. Send the address, site photographs and details of obstructions. We will agree transport and positioning and the preparation of stable support points.

When to compare a 40ft container

If you do not need the extra length, consider a new 40ft container. Compare total cost including delivery and how well the cargo fits each option. For storage, discuss access to goods and condensation control too.

Frequently asked questions

Are all 45ft containers high cube?+

No. The length class does not establish height or width. Confirm whether the offer is for standard, HC, PW or HC PW before ordering.

Why do 45ft container volumes vary?+

Height, width and construction affect capacity. This page's standard reference model holds about 76 m³. HC and PW models need their own specifications.

How can I check whether a 45ft container will fit my site?+

Measure the position and access route. Send the address, gate width and photographs. The delivery equipment needs a larger working area than the container footprint.
