Technical Specification | ISO-Standard Build

Every 40ft high cube shipping container supplied by ContainerKing® conforms to recognised ISO container manufacturing standards and is CSC plated for international shipping, ensuring structural integrity for transport and stacking.

Constructed from Grade A Corten (Cor-Ten) weathering steel, the container forms a natural protective oxide layer that helps resist corrosion and extend service life — even in demanding industrial or coastal environments.

Security & Weather Protection

Security and weather protection are central to the design of this 40ft high cube container.

Each unit includes:

• Heavy-duty lock-box protection for padlock security

• Four locking bars per cargo door for a tight sealed closure

• Wind and watertight construction (WWT) to container manufacturing standards

• Fully welded steel door gear and hinges

The raised steel cross-member floor design also allows airflow beneath the container, helping to reduce moisture accumulation and extend the life of the timber flooring.

---

Capacity & Usability

The 40ft High Cube container provides an internal height of approximately 8 ft 10 in, delivering around 12 cubic metres more storage volume than a standard 40ft container.

That additional headroom makes a substantial difference for:

• palletised storage

• racking systems

• taller machinery or equipment

• container conversion projects requiring ceiling clearance

Typical Uses

• Construction site storage

• Industrial equipment storage

• Export freight and international shipping

• Document or archive storage with racking systems

• Container conversion projects (offices, workshops, studios)

ISO containers are designed for multi-level stacking in depot and port environments, providing excellent structural strength for demanding applications.
