Frequently Asked Questions: Equipment Specs
What is the primary difference between a 40ft GP and a 40ft High Cube (HC)?
The key difference is height. A standard 40ft General Purpose (GP) container has an external height of 8 feet 6 inches (2.591 meters) and an internal height of 2.393 meters, providing 67.7 m³ of volume. A 40ft High Cube (HC) is exactly 1 foot (30 cm) taller at 9 feet 6 inches (2.896 meters) external height and 2.698 meters internal height, yielding 76.4 m³ (an extra 8.7 m³ of volume). High Cube containers are the international standard for lightweight, voluminous freight and high machinery.
What makes a 13.6m Mega Trailer superior for automotive and industrial logistics?
A Mega Trailer offers an internal clear height of 3.00 meters throughout its entire 13.62-meter length (giving 101.3 m³ volume) compared to 2.70 meters in standard trailers (91.2 m³). Mega trailers are Code XL certified, feature hydraulic lifting roofs that raise during loading to allow overhead crane or side forklift access, and can accommodate three stacked Gitterbox automotive cages or 66 double-deck Euro pallets.
How does a refrigerated (Reefer) container maintain temperature?
Reefer containers feature integrated electric refrigeration machinery (typically Carrier Transicold, Thermo King, or Daikin) powered by vessel electricity or portable diesel generator sets (gensets) during road drayage. Air is circulated from the bottom of the container through aluminum T-bar flooring, maintaining precise temperatures from -30°C to +30°C with automated electronic trip data logging.
