ConFoot legs for handling the container

4. 9. 2024

Introduction to ConFoot Legs

ConFoot legs for container handling represent a revolutionary solution for efficient and safe handling of shipping containers. These patented legs allow for easy folding and repositioning of containers without the need for heavy machinery, significantly simplifying logistics operations. With ConFoot legs, you can place the container exactly where you need it, quickly and conveniently.

How ConFoot Legs Work

ConFoot legs are mounted directly on the container and allow it to be lifted to the desired height. The process is simple and quick:

  1. Prepare the Trailer: A truck with an air suspension arrives at the site.
  2. Mount the Legs: The trailer is raised to the maximum using air, then the ConFoot legs are easily mounted.
  3. Release the Bolts: Release the securing bolts holding the container on the trailer.
  4. Lower the Trailer: The trailer is lowered, and the container remains standing on the ConFoot legs.
  5. Truck Departure: The truck can leave, and the container stays safely in place.

Benefits of Using ConFoot Legs

Using ConFoot legs offers a range of benefits:

  • Efficiency: Enables quick and easy container folding without the need for a crane or other heavy equipment.
  • Safety: Stable and robust construction ensures safe placement of the container.
  • Mobility: Legs are easy to transport and install, increasing flexibility in various logistics situations.
  • Time and Cost Savings: Reduces the need to rent expensive equipment and speeds up container handling processes.

High Cube container specifications

19. 8. 2026

A high cube container — also referred to as an HC container, HQ container, or high-cube — is an intermodal shipping container that stands one foot taller than the standard ISO container. While a standard general-purpose container measures 8 feet 6 inches (2.59 m) in external height, a high cube container extends to 9 feet 6 inches (2.89 m). This extra 12 inches of vertical clearance translates into approximately 10–15% more cubic capacity without altering the container’s footprint — the same length and width are maintained, meaning the container occupies the same floor space on a vessel, chassis, or storage yard.

Shipping container parts

17. 8. 2026

A shipping container looks like a simple steel box from the outside, but it is an assembly of dozens of precisely engineered shipping container parts — each governed by international standards, each designed to survive decades of ocean transit, crane lifts, and stacking loads that would crush an ordinary structure. Whether you are buying a used container, planning a container home, troubleshooting a repair, or simply building your logistics vocabulary, understanding every individual component is the difference between making an informed decision and an expensive mistake.

40 Foot Container Dimensions

16. 8. 2026

If you have ever booked ocean freight, planned a warehouse layout, or designed a modular building project, you have asked the same question: what are the exact 40 foot container dimensions — and what do they mean for what you can actually load? The numbers are standardized worldwide, but the practical implications of those numbers are surprisingly nuanced. A 40-foot container is not simply 40 feet of usable space, and its weight limits are not what most people assume. This guide covers every measurement, every weight rating, and every loading consideration you need to make informed decisions about the world’s most common shipping container.

Quick Answer: A standard ISO 40-foot shipping container measures 12.19 m (40 ft) long × 2.44 m (8 ft) wide × 2.59 m (8 ft 6 in) high externally and provides approximately 67.7 m³ (2,390 ft³) of usable internal volume. The maximum gross weight is 30,480 kg (67,200 lbs), with a typical payload capacity of approximately 26,700–26,800 kg (58,900–59,000 lbs).

Cargo worthy container

15. 8. 2026

If you have ever shopped for a used shipping container, you have almost certainly encountered the term cargo worthy — often abbreviated as CW or CWO (Cargo Worthy Only). It is one of the most important classifications in the container industry, yet it is also one of the most misunderstood. A cargo worthy container is not a container that looks new. It is not necessarily a container that has a valid CSC plate. And it is definitely not the same as a wind and watertight container. This guide explains what cargo worthy really means — from its technical definition and historical origins to the precise structural criteria, inspection process, cost implications, and common misconceptions that trip up even experienced buyers.
