20 ft HC Container – Corten Steel, CSC Plated, 28mm Marine Ply Floor

This 20 ft HC container – Corten Steel, CSC plated, 28mm marine ply floor offers an extra foot of interior height compared to standard containers, making it ideal for storing tall equipment, installing pallet racking, or creating comfortable workshop space. For example, you can stand fully upright anywhere inside this high cube unit – unlike standard height containers where tall users stoop near the doors. Therefore, this HC (high cube) design provides superior comfort and storage density.

Why Choose a High Cube Container?

Standard shipping containers stand only 8ft 6in tall, which limits your vertical storage options. In contrast, this HC container stands 9ft 6in tall externally, giving you approximately 8ft 10in of internal headroom . Consequently, you can store taller machinery, double-stack pallets, or install mezzanine flooring . Moreover, the 20ft length holds 11 Euro pallets while fitting on smaller sites . Thus, you gain maximum storage volume in a compact container footprint.

Key Features of This HC Container

The extra interior height and CSC certification make this high cube container stand out. For instance, the 28mm marine ply floor uses WBP (Weather and Boil Proof) adhesive with no internal voids, preventing delamination in damp conditions . Similarly, the Corten steel body develops a stable rust patina that prevents deeper corrosion without requiring painting . Furthermore, the CSC safety plate confirms structural integrity for intermodal shipping . Finally, the lockable double doors feature heavy-duty locking rods (top, bottom, and side) for security.

High Cube Dimensions – More Space Than Standard

The extra foot of height transforms what you can store inside this 20ft HC container. For example, you can install two-tier pallet racking, effectively doubling your storage capacity . Likewise, you can stand upright comfortably anywhere inside – no stooping near the doors . Furthermore, bulky items like vehicles, machinery, or tall equipment fit easily . Consequently, one 20ft high cube container often provides the same usable volume as two standard containers for certain applications.

Corten Steel Construction – Built to Last

Corten steel makes this HC container exceptionally durable for outdoor use anywhere. First, the weathering steel (grade S355J2W) forms a stable, self-protecting rust patina over time . Second, this patina prevents deeper corrosion, unlike standard steel that continues rusting through . Third, the steel requires no painting or ongoing maintenance under normal conditions . Finally, a typical Corten steel container lasts 25+ years in outdoor conditions . Therefore, you can place this container anywhere without worrying about premature rust or structural failure.

CSC Plated – Ready for Transport Anywhere

The CSC plate confirms that this HC container meets international safety standards for shipping. For example, the plate certifies that the container has passed structural tests for stacking, lifting, and floor strength . Likewise, the CSC certification allows legal transport on ships, trains, and trucks across international borders . If you need to relocate the container overseas for a project, this certification makes international shipping possible . Thus, you gain complete flexibility for both static storage and transport.

The 28mm Marine Ply Floor – Built for Heavy Loads

The marine ply floor handles demanding storage applications with ease. For example, the 28mm thickness provides exceptional strength for heavy pallets, machinery, or vehicles . Likewise, the WBP (Weather and Boil Proof) adhesive resists moisture penetration, even in damp site conditions . Furthermore, the tongue-and-groove construction creates seamless coverage across the entire floor . As a result, you can store loads up to 26,000 kg evenly distributed without worrying about floor failure.

20ft HC Dimensions – Compact but Capacious

The 20ft HC length provides generous storage while fitting on most sites. For example, the internal length of approximately 19ft 4in accommodates 11 Euro pallets . Likewise, the internal width of approximately 7ft 8in-7ft 9in allows comfortable access . If you need compact storage with extra headroom, this 20ft HC container delivers the perfect balance.
