40’HC Shipping Container for Pickup from Columbus (Ohio) Depot One-Trip in Anthracite, 196 416-3

Considering the purchase of a shipping container that combines top-notch condition with practical features and an attractive design? This 40ft High Cube container in One-Trip IICL 6 quality, finished in anthracite RAL 7016, stored at the Columbus depot (USA), is ready to meet even the most demanding requirements immediately. Container transport is not included in the price; independent pickup from the mentioned Columbus depot in Ohio, USA is required.

Available containers at the depot may feature EOD (Easy Open Door) or classic 4-rod opening. Current stock availability must always be verified before placing an order.

Dimensions of the 40ft High Cube Container

The High Cube model differs from a classic 40ft container primarily in its greater internal height. Here are the key dimensions:

• External length: 12,192 mm (40 ft)
• External width: 2,438 mm (8 ft)
• External height: 2,896 mm (9 ft 6 in)

For comparison, a standard container has a height of 2,591 mm, so the High Cube provides approximately 30 cm of extra space. You will appreciate this when storing taller items, installing mezzanines, or moving comfortably inside. The internal dimensions naturally depend on wall thickness, typically around a length of 12,032 mm, width of 2,352 mm, and height of 2,698 mm. The door opening is approximately 2,340 mm wide and around 2,585 mm high, allowing trouble-free loading of pallets and larger equipment.

Thanks to the robust steel construction and quality plywood floor (or steel profile in some cases), the container offers excellent load capacity and volume:

• Maximum gross weight: approx. 30,480 kg
• Tare weight: usually 3,800 – 4,000 kg (depending on the specific manufacturing design)
• Payload: thus approximately 26,000 – 26,600 kg, ideal for heavy machinery, construction materials, or dense industrial goods
• Internal volume: approximately 76–77 m³, representing a significant advantage over a standard 40ft container (approx. 67 m³). The extra volume is especially useful when storing oversized materials or when converting the container into living space, where every centimeter of height matters.

Dimensions are approximate and may vary slightly depending on the manufacturer.

One-Trip IICL 6 Quality and RAL 7016 Color

The One-Trip designation means that the container has completed a single sea voyage with cargo and was then retired from service. It is therefore not a worn-out unit with a long history, but a practically new product showing minimal signs of use. The IICL 6 standard (Institute of International Container Lessors) additionally guarantees that the container has undergone strict inspection and meets the parameters of a new one – without dents, corrosion, or repairs. You may only encounter minor cosmetic scratches caused during handling, which do not affect functionality or service life.

The RAL 7016 color, known as anthracite grey, gives the container a modern and elegant appearance that stands out from the usual industrial blue or grey. Thanks to the quality paint, the surface retains its bright shade for a long time and resists weather conditions well. Anthracite grey is also neutral and easily blends into the surrounding buildings – whether you use the container as storage, company facilities, or a base for an architectural project.

Ventilation Openings and Standard Opening

This container is standardly equipped with four ventilation openings (4x Air Vents). They enable passive air circulation, thereby reducing the risk of condensation and mold formation inside. You will especially appreciate this when storing moisture-sensitive goods such as textiles, electronics, paper packaging, or seasonal equipment. The ventilation system also helps equalize temperature fluctuations without having to invest in active ventilation.

The container doors are fitted with a standard 4-rod locking system. Each leaf is secured with two vertical locking rods, which guarantees high operational safety and easy opening even after years of use. The depot may sometimes also have units available with the so-called EOD (Easy Open Door) – an improved 3-rod opening system – however, the standard remains the proven solution with 4 rods. Before placing an order, we recommend checking current stock availability and the door type on your selected unit.

Use of the 40′ HC One-Trip Shipping Container in Columbus and Surroundings

The anthracite High Cube container in near-perfect condition opens up a wide range of possibilities. In Columbus and its surroundings, it will find application primarily for:

• Construction companies and developers: mobile storage for tools and materials on site, changing rooms for workers, secure equipment deposit.
• Logistics and warehousing companies: additional storage space during seasonal peaks, temporary capacity expansion without the need to build.
• Farmers and growers: storage of feed, fertilizers, seeds, or equipment with high demands on a dry environment (thanks to ventilation).
• Event organizers and festival teams: staff facilities, changing rooms, storage of promotional materials or technical equipment – quickly relocatable and easy to secure.
• Retail and gastro operations: base for a pop-up shop, café, bar, or market stall – the anthracite design looks premium and attracts attention.
• Creative and residential projects: conversion into a modern office, studio, small living space, or student accommodation (popular in university towns such as Columbus with Ohio State University).

Who It Is Suitable For and Where

Columbus itself represents a key location for this container. It is a dynamic capital of Ohio with a developed industrial base, a growing technology scene, and a large student population. The container will be appreciated by:

• Investors and start-ups in areas like Franklinton, Short North, or Arena District, where creative hubs and flexible workspaces are emerging.
• Developers in growing neighborhoods such as Easton, Polaris, or the surroundings of John Glenn Columbus International Airport, where extensive commercial and residential construction is underway.
• Event organizers at Nationwide Arena and surrounding areas, for temporary operations during sports and cultural events.
• Landowners in the outskirts of the city (e.g., Grove City, Westerville, Dublin) who need secure storage for personal or business purposes.

The Columbus depot also provides easy access to a wide regional clientele. Among the cities, states, and locations that this offer might interest include:

• Other Ohio cities: Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dayton, Toledo, Akron, Canton
• Neighboring states: Indiana (Indianapolis, Fort Wayne), Kentucky (Louisville, Lexington), West Virginia (Charleston, Huntington), Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh, Erie), and Michigan (Detroit)
• Industrial zones and corridors along the I-70 and I-71 highways, where there is steady demand for storage capacity

Thanks to Columbus’s central location within the Midwest and a good road network, the container can be transported anywhere within 400–500 miles without major logistical complications.

Container Pickup from the Columbus, Ohio, USA Depot

The container price does not include transport to the destination. Transport must be arranged by the customer independently, preferably through a local carrier, as well as the unloading of the container at the destination. After completing the order, you will receive all documents necessary for pickup, including information about the date, container number, and depot contacts. You then pass these documents to the carrier of your choice, who will pick up the container and deliver it to the requested address. We recommend contacting a local transport company with experience in shipping container transport, which will also handle the unloading (e.g., using a hydraulic arm or crane).

Please note that the illustrative photos are for reference only. The depot usually has multiple units of the same category, so the container you receive may differ in details – it will always be the same size, quality, and type, however. The RAL 7016 color is preferred, but the exact shade and current availability of the specific color design must be verified before ordering. We also recommend confirming whether a container with the classic 4-rod opening or the EOD version is available. The container is located in a secured storage depot, where customer access is generally not permitted for safety reasons. Inspection of the unit before purchase is therefore not possible.

The 40ft High Cube container in One-Trip IICL 6 quality, finished in anthracite RAL 7016 with practical ventilation openings, represents an exceptional opportunity for businesses and individuals from Columbus and the wider surroundings. The premium condition, above-standard height, high load capacity, and smart ventilation make it a universal base for storage, business, and creative conversions. Although you arrange transport from the depot yourself, the central location in Ohio means fast and affordable logistics to many cities and states. Do not hesitate to verify current availability and the color variant before ordering – the ideal container is waiting for you.
