Shipping Container Size 40’HC One-Trip in Indianapolis, 584 242-9
Are you looking for an exceptionally well-preserved shipping container that will serve as a reliable warehouse, workshop, or base for a construction project? We present to you a 40-foot High Cube container in one-trip IICL 6 quality, located at a depot in Indianapolis, USA. Its condition, dimensions, and equipment make it one of the most interesting pieces on the container market. Container transport is not included in the price; self-pickup from the Indianapolis depot is required.
Available containers at the depot may feature EOD or the classic 4-rod opening. It is always necessary to verify current stock availability before ordering.
Dimensions, Payload Capacity, and Volume of the 40′ High Cube
The standard dimensions of a 40-foot High Cube container provide approximately one foot (about 30 cm) more interior height compared to a standard 40′ box. This is a difference you will appreciate in practice when storing bulkier items or planning an interior buildout.
- External dimensions (L × W × H): 12,192 × 2,438 × 2,896 mm
- Internal dimensions: approximately 12,032 × 2,352 × 2,698 mm
- Volume: approx. 76.3 m³
- Payload capacity (maximum cargo weight): around 28,600 kg
- Maximum gross weight: 30,480 kg
With these parameters, the container easily accommodates workshop equipment, construction materials, seasonal machinery, and bulky furniture. The payload capacity approaching 29 tonnes ensures that even heavy commodities can be stored without concerns about the structure. Dimensions are approximate and may vary slightly depending on the manufacturer.
One-Trip IICL 6 Quality – What It Exactly Means
The designation one-trip (single journey) means the container has completed just one sea voyage – typically from Asia to the United States – and was then retired from the transport circulation. It is therefore not a worn piece with many trips behind it, but practically a new container with minimal signs of service. At first glance, it looks like it just came off the production line; only occasionally will you notice a small scratch or handling mark.
The abbreviation IICL 6 denotes a standard of the Institute of International Container Lessors. The sixth grade is intended for containers meeting strict conditions for maritime transport – the structure is one hundred percent solid, the floor is undamaged, the doors seal perfectly, and the entire box is watertight. In practice, this means you can immediately use the container for storing sensitive goods, converting it into a living space, or for further transport without needing to repair anything.
RAL 7016 Colour – Modern Anthracite Grey
This container features RAL 7016, a shade known as anthracite grey. It is a dark, elegant grey tone with a slightly bluish undertone that blends beautifully into industrial environments as well as modern architecture. The anthracite surface finish is highly sought-after today – the container no longer looks like a makeshift storage unit, but like a design element that does not disturb its surroundings. The colour also resists visible dirt well and, combined with the high-quality paintwork of a one-trip piece, retains its fresh appearance for many years.
Please note that the exact shade may vary slightly from piece to piece, and the current availability of a specific colour must be verified before ordering. Stock at the depot changes daily and container colours rotate. However, we always deliver containers in the same quality category, type, and size – colour is handled upon request.
12 Ventilation Openings and Standard 4-Rod Opening
A special bonus of this piece is twelve integrated ventilation openings (air vents). Each opening is designed to allow natural air circulation while preventing the entry of rain and coarse dirt. As a result, condensation does not form inside the container – the main enemy of stored textiles, paper, electronics, and wooden furniture. For storing agricultural products, archival materials, or motorcycles, a container equipped this way is simply ideal.
The container doors are operated by the classic four-rod mechanism – each leaf has two rods, ensuring a secure closure and easy handling even with gloves. However, the depot may also stock pieces with the three-rod EOD opening (Easy Open Door). Before ordering, we will always specify which type is currently available.
Where the Container Finds Application in Indianapolis and Surroundings
Indianapolis is a dynamic city with a developed industry, logistics, construction sector, and a rich agricultural area throughout Indiana. This is precisely where the capabilities of a ventilated High Cube container come into play in many ways:
- Storage for construction companies and tradesmen – safe storage of tools, materials, and machinery directly on the construction site, whether in the city centre or suburbs.
- Seasonal storage for farmers and growers – thanks to ventilation, you can preserve crops, seeds, or feed without the risk of mould.
- Archive and back-of-house for event organisers – Indianapolis hosts numerous trade fairs and sporting events, where the container serves as a mobile equipment storage or changing room.
- Workshop for car and motorcycle enthusiasts – space for work and storage of tools and spare parts; the anthracite grey also looks professional within the garage community.
- Retail and food service – the container can be converted into a stall, food truck back-of-house, or stylish showroom at markets and festivals.
Who the Container Is Ideal For
The offer will appeal primarily to entrepreneurs, tradesmen, farmers, and individuals looking for an immediately usable, exceptionally well-preserved storage space. The container is in truly excellent condition – whether you use it in a visible part of your property or as part of a conversion project, you will not need to mask its appearance.
Other Cities and Regions That May Be Interested in the Offer
Although the container is physically located in Indianapolis, for customers from surrounding cities and states, it may be advantageous to pick it up right here. Thanks to its central location in Indiana, the depot is easily accessible from many directions.
In Indiana: Carmel, Fishers, Bloomington, Fort Wayne, Evansville, South Bend, Lafayette and many smaller towns within a 250 km radius.
Surrounding states: Illinois (Chicago, Peoria, Springfield), Ohio (Cincinnati, Columbus, Dayton), Kentucky (Louisville, Lexington), Michigan (Detroit, Grand Rapids), Missouri (St. Louis), Wisconsin (Milwaukee), and even western Pennsylvania.

Container Pickup from the Indianapolis Depot
Container transport is not included in the price. The customer must arrange transportation independently. The ideal approach is to contact a local carrier who will pick up the container from the depot and deliver it to the address you specify. Likewise, it is necessary to arrange unloading of the container on-site – we are happy to recommend verified carriers in the region, but we do not handle the transport itself. After closing the deal, we will send you all instructions and documents needed for pickup. You will then pass these to your carrier, who will identify themselves at the terminal and take the container away without complications.

Please verify the colour before ordering. We will confirm the availability of the container in RAL 7016 shade upon request; stock items are updated daily. On-site inspection is not possible.
