Conditions: Used
Categories: High Cube Containers
This 53ft High Cube Shipping Container offers a galvanized aluminum structure designed for durable and secure cargo transport and storage. Engineered to meet standard ISO specifications, this container provides additional vertical clearance compared to standard-height units. The aluminum construction with galvanized treatment provides corrosion-resistant properties suitable for various applications, including freight transport, on-site storage, and modular construction projects .
Extended Height Configuration: High cube design provides approximately one foot of additional interior height compared to standard containers, accommodating taller cargo loads
Galvanized Aluminum Construction: Aluminum structure with galvanized treatment offers corrosion-resistant properties for extended service life
Interior Dimensions: Configured to accommodate standard pallet configurations for efficient cargo loading and space utilization
Double Swing Doors: Rear door opening designed for full-width access during loading and unloading operations
Ventilation: Passive ventilation system to reduce condensation accumulation during transport or storage
ISO Corner Castings: Standardized corner fittings for secure lifting, stacking, and transport across multiple shipping modes
Weather-Resistant Seals: Door gaskets designed to minimize water ingress during inclement weather conditions
The 53ft High Cube Shipping Container is constructed with galvanized aluminum components to provide structural integrity while maintaining manageable tare weight. Aluminum side panels are mounted on galvanized steel posts, spaced at regular intervals to distribute loads evenly across the container structure . The galvanization process applies a protective zinc coating to ferrous components, reducing oxidation rates in humid or marine environments.
The interior configuration maximizes usable floor space for cargo securement. Side walls incorporate recessed logistics track or similar lashing points at regular intervals, allowing for flexible cargo restraint configurations. The flooring consists of marine-grade plywood or similar durable material, treated to resist moisture absorption and fungal degradation .
The roof assembly features one-piece aluminum sheeting, pretensioned over roof bows to prevent drumming and water pooling. Roof bows are spaced to support distributed loads while maintaining water runoff characteristics . Corner posts and door frames utilize reinforced box-section construction to resist racking forces during lifting and transit.
The container meets applicable safety standards for CSC (Container Safety Convention) approval where specified, indicating successful pressure testing and structural certification for international transport .
