40ft high cube container
A 40-foot high cube keeps the 40ft floor (about 12.03 × 2.35 m) and adds roughly 30 cm of interior height, 2.69 m typical, for about 76.4 CBM. Payload is similar to a standard 40ft. Extra cube is for light bulky cargo and double-stacked pallets under ~105 in. Floor pallet counts match the 40ft.
How many of your cartons fit?
Carton count
Floor-packed and stacked to the ceiling, upright, no weight cap. Full payload logic lives on the container loading calculator.
Door opening is also taller. If your constraint is floor spots, a high cube does not buy more pallets unless you stack.
Interior dimensions used
| L × W × H | Inches | Rated cube |
|---|---|---|
| 12.03 × 2.35 × 2.69 m | 473.6 × 92.5 × 105.9 in | 76.4 CBM |
Dimensions vary by manufacturer and build year. Practical loading efficiency is typically 80–90% of rated CBM.
Formula
- Per layer = integer pack of carton footprint on 12.03 × 2.35 m.
- Layers = floor(2.69 m / carton height).
- Cartons = per layer × layers (no payload cap on this mini tool).
Questions
How many CBM is a 40ft high cube?
Rated capacity is about 76.4 CBM from typical internals of 12.03 × 2.35 × 2.69 m (473.6 × 92.5 × 105.9 in). Plan 80–90% in real stuffing.
Are these CSC-plate numbers?
No. They are published typicals. The plate on the box you receive is the authority for tare, payload and, in practice, the interior you pack.
