Product Description

53 High Cube Steel Shipping Container

This 53-foot High Cube steel shipping container is offered as a durable and standardized storage or transport solution. Constructed from COR-TEN steel, it is designed to withstand the elements and provide secure containment for a variety of applications. Its high cube designation provides an additional foot of vertical space compared to a standard container, offering greater internal volume.

Key Features

• High cube design provides 12 inches of additional interior height.

• Constructed from weather-resistant COR-TEN steel for structural integrity.

• Designed with a standard double-door configuration on one end.

• Features a plywood floor for a stable interior surface.

• Equipped with lockable door handles to accommodate standard security seals.

• Manufactured to meet industry-standard external dimensions for transport.

Detailed Description

The 53 High Cube Steel Shipping Container is a unit commonly utilized in intermodal freight transport and large-scale storage applications. Its construction from COR-TEN steel, a material recognized for its tensile strength and weathering characteristics, is a standard practice in the industry. As the material weathers, a protective patina forms on the outer surfaces, which is intended to reduce the rate of corrosion and extend the container’s service life in outdoor environments.

A defining characteristic of this unit is its classification as “High Cube.” This specification indicates that the container possesses an external height of 9 feet 6 inches, resulting in a significant increase in interior cubic capacity relative to a standard 8-foot 6-inch container. This additional volume can be a critical factor for storing tall equipment, large machinery, or maximizing palletized goods storage.

The container is fitted with a pair of weather-resistant swing doors at one end. These doors open to the full width and height of the container’s interior, allowing unobstructed access for loading and unloading. The door mechanisms are designed to be secured with a locking bar system, which can accommodate various types of tamper-indicating seals or padlocks.

Internally, the container is finished with a marine-grade plywood floor, which is treated to resist moisture and provides a durable, flat surface. The interior walls are constructed from the corrugated steel of the container body, offering inherent structural strength. While the container is designed to be weather-resistant, it is not a hermetically sealed unit. Ventilation is typically provided by passive vents located at the top corners of the container to minimize condensation buildup during transport and storage.
