A standard 20 ft dry cargo container — 33.2 m³ inside, 28,295 kg of payload, welded from weathering steel and painted in-house.
Built as a container, not converted from one. This is a standard 20 ft dry cargo box: corrugated weathering-steel panels, a 28 mm floor and double doors across the full end. Outside it measures 6058 × 2438 × 2591 mm; inside you get 5898 × 2352 × 2393 mm, which is 33.2 m³.
The steel comes from inside the group. Panels are cut, formed and welded on our own line, and the boxes are painted before they leave it. Units are supplied with a CSC safety approval plate; the plate photographed below reads a maximum operating gross mass of 30,480 kg, an allowable stacking load of 216,000 kg at 1.8 g and a transverse racking test force of 150,000 newtons.
What you see here is new build, not refurbished stock. Tell us how you plan to load and move it and we will quote to that.

A shipping container is bought on three numbers: what fits inside it, what it weighs empty, and what it is allowed to weigh full. Those three sit on different pages here, because buyers arrive looking for different ones.
If you are working out which box format you need — general purpose, high cube, open side — start with the type codes. If you already know the format and need the dimensions, tare and cubic capacity to plan a load, go straight to the specifications.
What we build ourselves is the 20 ft general purpose box, on our own line, plated to CSC. The reference pages cover the other formats because loading plans need them, not because we supply them.
Tell us the cargo, the route and how many boxes you need, and we will quote to that specification.
