Key Features of a 53-foot Container for Storage and Transport
With a height of 9 feet 6 inches and a width of 8 feet 6 inches, a 53-foot container, mostly constructed from corrugated steel, can hold extra-wide items like vehicles and boats.
53-foot new shipping containers have been constructed in response to the growing need for domestic rail and road transportation. Their massive size and weight also make them ideal for transporting big equipment overseas. Like standard shipping containers, 53ft containers may be stacked one atop the other.
Applications of a 53' High Cube Shipping Container
The 53ft shipping container has extra storage space and can accommodate large freight shipments like furniture, autos, and yachts. Using roads and trains, these long-distance goods may be quickly transported to any destination. Apart from delivering many kinds of goods, one of the main factors driving the increasing demand for 53ft shipping containers is their extra-large size. Due to this, the containers are being transformed into houses, offices, garages, cabins, gyms, and coffee shops.
Factors to Consider Before Purchasing a 53ft Container
Before making a purchase, be sure the 53′ length and 3,884 cu ft capacity of the 53-foot container fit your needs. Make sure it’s made of waterproof, sturdy metal that can withstand wear and tear. Verify that it’s compatible with transport methods like trailers, rails, or ships for easy transit. Consider its uses: transportation, storage, or a project like a container house. And don’t forget to factor in your budget, balancing the cost of a new or used container and any extra fees like delivery.
Advantages of Choosing a 53ft Shipping Container
There are countless advantages of choosing a 53ft shipping container, but the primary ones are:
- Extended storage capacity. They are great for warehousing or freight storage due to their building’s large space and insulation.

- Intermodal transportation. The 53-foot containers may be mechanically loaded and unloaded onto some different types of rail and truck vehicles.
- Eco-friendliness. 53ft containers may be refurbished and repurposed after their use as shipping containers run out.
- Heavy load transportation. With a bigger capacity, width, and height than general-purpose shipping containers, 53ft containers are perfect for delivering heavy bulk equipment, vehicles, and furniture over long distances..

Pelican Containers are an amazing company to work with! From the sales rep to the delivery driver, they all worked with a very high level of integrity. This America based business answered the phone when we called, they checked up and followed through with all our requests. We had daily communication with the sales rep during the purchase process. When the driver was on his way with our delivery, and he knew that he was running behind, he called to let us know a more exact time he would arrive. He was easy to work with and was not in a hurry to off load the containers. He was thorough with the placement of the containers, making sure that they were where we wanted them. We will do business with this company again!
