Internal Height of Housing Containers

The internal height of housing containers varies depending on the type, and the specific height needs to be determined according to the container type. Here is a detailed introduction to the internal heights of different types of housing containers:

Standard Container: This is the most common type of container, with an internal height typically of 2.393 meters or 2.392 meters, and some sources state it as 2.39 meters. This height is suitable for the transportation and storage of most ordinary goods, meeting the stacking needs of general cargo.

Refrigerated Container: Refrigerated containers are used for transporting goods that require refrigeration or freezing. Their internal heights come in various specifications, with common models including 2.260 meters, 2.197 meters, 2.500 meters, etc. These different height designs are to accommodate refrigeration equipment of different sizes and the stacking requirements of the goods.

20-foot Container: The 20-foot container is a common container specification, with an internal height of 2.18 meters. This height is suitable for transporting goods that are relatively small in volume but heavy in weight, such as mechanical equipment and metal materials.

40-foot Container: The internal height of the 40-foot container is also 2.18 meters, the same as that of the 20-foot container. However, due to its longer length, it can provide larger storage space and is suitable for transporting goods with larger volumes.

40-foot High Cube Container: The 40-foot high cube container increases its height on the basis of the 40-foot container, with an internal height of 2.72 meters. This height design enables the 40-foot high cube container to accommodate taller and larger goods, such as large mechanical equipment and furniture.

45-foot High Cube Container: The internal height of the 45-foot high cube container is 2.71 meters, similar to that of the 40-foot high cube container. It provides larger storage space and is suitable for transporting some oversized goods.

20-foot Open Top Container: The top of the 20-foot open top container can be opened, facilitating the loading and unloading of goods. Its internal height is 2.31 meters. This type of container is suitable for transporting goods that are relatively tall and need to be loaded and unloaded from the top.

40-foot Open Top Container: The internal height of the 40-foot open top container is 2.15 meters. Although slightly lower than that of the 20-foot open top container, it can still meet the transportation needs of some relatively tall goods.

20-foot Flat Rack Container: The internal height of the 20-foot flat rack container is 2.15 meters, and its bottom is flat, making it suitable for transporting goods that need to be placed steadily.

40-foot Flat Rack Container: The internal height of the 40-foot flat rack container is 1.96 meters, the lowest among all container types. It is suitable for transporting goods that are relatively large in volume but low in height, such as wood and steel.
