    45ft Standard Shipping Containers Dimensions And Weight

    Let’s explore 45ft standard container dimensions and 45ft container weight in the USA:

    • First, feast your eyes on the colossal dimensions of 45ft standard container dimensions. This titan stands tall at 45ft in length, 8 feet in width, and a soaring height of 8.6 feet. That’s about 13.7 meters long, 2.4 meters wide, and 2.6 meters high, for those of you who prefer to consider a 45ft container in meters.
    • Stepping inside, you’ll find yourself in a spacious interior stretching 44.4 feet in length, 7.8 feet in width, and a roomy 7.9 feet in height. A 45ft container in meters is approximately 13.5 meters long, 2.3 meters wide, and 2.4 meters high. It’s practically a palace!
    • With precise 45 feet container dimensions, these units maximize storage capacity while maintaining ease of transport and handling.
    • Despite weighing in at a respectable 10,362 pounds (about 4.7 tons), this container can bear an incredible load. The maximum 45 ft container weight in the USA, including its mass plus the cargo, is a whopping 71,650 pounds. That’s around 32.5 tons or 61,288 lbs. Our 45ft container capacity is roughly 30.7 tons — some serious muscle.

    Buying A Shipping Container? Measure Your Space!

    Most people think that if they have 40ft of space, they can buy a container of the same size. This isn’t true. Actually, your container will be delivered through a standard tilt bed ‘roll off’ style truck bed or trailer. That means you will need twice the length of the container, ie, 80ft plus 10ft space in a straight line. Hence, before you buy a container, see how much space you have.

    How is this container delivered?

    Tilt Tray

    Tilt tray delivers a container off the back of the truck. Similar to a tow truck, the tray is mechanically lowered at an angle, and the container is slid off, with the truck moving forward at slow speed. This is the most common delivery method used for containers. Tilt trays are not suitable for sites with overhead power lines as the container height increases significantly when tilted.

    Side Loader

    Side loaders are used to transport our 20 foot and 40 foot shipping containers. This is the best delivery method for containers at sites that have limited space either in front or behind the area where the container is to be positioned. The container is unloaded between the two outrigger feet of the side loader, approximately half a metre from the side of the truck.

    Hiab Crane

    Hiab cranes lift containers from a mechanism located behind the truck’s cabin. This is used when there is limited space for a side loader or tilt tray. Using a crane means the container is easily positioned at an angle or up on a raised area. It can also be used to place containers over a fence or other obstacles.
