Dimensions, Load Capacity, and Volume of the 40′ HC Container

The 40-foot High Cube container offers greater internal height compared to the standard model, and therefore significantly more usable space. Exact parameters:

• External dimensions: length 12,192 mm, width 2,438 mm, height 2,896 mm
• Internal dimensions: length 12,032 mm, width 2,352 mm, height 2,698 mm
• Internal volume: approximately 76.3 m³
• Maximum payload: around 28,800 kg
• Empty container weight (tare): approx. 3,900 kg
• Total maximum weight: 32,500 kg

Thanks to the internal height of 2.7 meters, an adult can comfortably stand inside the container, which is key for planned conversions into residential or working spaces. The container can hold a volume corresponding to approximately three standard garages, while remaining compact and easy to relocate. The dimensions are approximate and may always vary slightly depending on the manufacturer.

What IICL 6 Quality Means and Why It Is So Exceptional

The IICL 6 designation is based on the strict standards of the Institute of International Container Lessors. It represents the highest quality grade obtainable for a used shipping container. Containers classified as IICL 6 have made only one sea voyage – from the manufacturer to the first port of discharge – and were then immediately retired from service.

What does this mean in practice? An IICL 6 standard container is practically as good as new. Its construction shows no signs of wear, the welded joints are in perfect condition, and the marine plywood floor bears no traces of intensive use. The doors seal perfectly, the locking mechanisms work smoothly, and the overall integrity of the container is completely intact. Unlike Cargo Worthy containers, which may have cosmetic defects, IICL 6 is essentially flawless.

This quality grade is especially valued in projects where appearance matters – for example, in conversions into residential spaces, offices, pop-up shops, or representative storage units. You get a container that not only looks great but will also last for decades without the need for repairs.

Color RAL 7016 – Anthracite Gray with Elegance and Practicality

This IICL 6 standard container is painted in the RAL 7016 shade, known as anthracite gray. It is a dark, deep gray shade with a subtle bluish undertone that looks extremely modern and sophisticated. This color is popular in contemporary architecture and design – it resembles the appearance of natural stone, dark graphite, or fine metal.

Advantages of RAL 7016 color:

• Timeless appearance – anthracite gray fits well into both urban settings and natural environments. It is not too striking, yet it looks luxurious and clean.
• Practical low maintenance – the darker shade effectively masks ordinary dirt, which you will especially appreciate with containers placed outdoors.
• Excellent base for further modifications – if you plan to further insulate, clad, or paint the container, anthracite gray is a neutral and elegant starting point.
• UV resistance – high-quality RAL stove enamel paint ensures long-lasting color without fading.

Four Ventilation Openings – Protection Against Condensation

This IICL 6 standard container is equipped with 4 ventilation openings (Air Vents), which represent a significant added value. The ventilation openings ensure natural air circulation inside the container and prevent moisture build-up and subsequent condensation. This is especially important if:

• You store goods sensitive to moisture, such as textiles, paper, electronics, or wooden products.
• You plan to use the container in climatic conditions with large temperature fluctuations, where wall condensation occurs.
• You are converting the container into a residential space and need to ensure a healthy indoor environment free of mold.

The ventilation openings are designed to prevent the ingress of rainwater and insects while permanently removing excess moisture to the outside.

Who Is the IICL 6 Standard Container Designed For

Thanks to its top-notch IICL 6 quality, attractive color, and practical features, this container appeals to a wide range of customers:

• Architects and construction companies carrying out modern modular building projects – anthracite gray is an ideal base for stylish residential units.
• Business owners in the gastronomy and retail sectors looking for a representative mobile facility that attracts attention and looks professional.
• Individuals planning a conversion into a tiny house – thanks to its one-trip condition, the container is a perfect starting material without the need for repairs.

• Farmers needing a dry and airy storage facility for crops, seeds, or equipment.

Storage and Conversion Options

With a volume of 76.3 m³ and an internal height of 2.7 meters, the container offers unlimited possibilities. In its basic form, it serves as a high-capacity storage facility – without modifications, you can easily place large machines, palletized goods, building materials, or seasonal equipment inside. The ventilation openings ensure that even with long-term storage, the contents remain dry and in good condition.

For more demanding uses, the IICL 6 standard container is ready for conversion:

• Residential container – after insulation and the installation of windows and doors, it becomes comfortable living space with a modern industrial look.
• Office studio – anthracite gray gives the workspace a professional and calm atmosphere.

• Sauna or wellness unit – thanks to the perfect condition and tightness of the container, the implementation is problem-free.
