The 40ft open top has a removable tarpaulin roof for cargo loaded by crane — machinery, glass, timber — with slightly less height than a dry box.
Pallet counts match a standard 40ft when roof bows are fitted; crane-loaded cargo is usually unpalletized.
| Length × width × height | In inches | Rated capacity |
|---|---|---|
| 12.03 × 2.35 × 2.33 m | 474.5 × 92.5 × 91.7 in | 65.5 CBM |
Dimensions vary slightly by manufacturer and build year — check the CSC plate on the container for exact figures. Practical loading efficiency is typically 80–90% of rated CBM.
Floor-packed and stacked to the ceiling, upright cartons, no weight cap. For weight limits and a 3D load plan use the full container loading calculator; for volume-based quotes the CBM calculator.
