40 ft High Cube Double Door Container

40ft High Cube Double Door Shipping Container

The 40ft High Cube Double Door container provides practical advantages for storage and logistics applications through doors at both ends. With 2.90 meters internal height and 76 cubic meters cargo space, it suits businesses requiring frequent access to stored goods.

Technical Specifications

Construction meets ISO standards for shipping containers. Both door systems open completely, providing a clear width of 2.34 meters. The reinforced steel construction supports up to 26,680 kg payload with a tare weight of 3,320 kg.

Dimensions and Capacity

• External dimensions: 12.19 × 2.44 × 2.90 meters
• Internal dimensions: 12.03 × 2.35 × 2.70 meters
• Cargo space: 76 cubic meters
• Door opening: 2.34 × 2.58 meters (both sides)

Practical Applications

Construction companies use containers as mobile workshops with material access from both sides. Retailers employ them for seasonal storage with easy order picking. Event companies appreciate quick setup and breakdown of equipment.

Case Study: Electrical Installation Company

A medium-sized electrical contractor stores cables and installation materials in three containers. Dual-end access allows technicians to remove materials while new deliveries are simultaneously stored. This reduces waiting times and improves work organization.

Transport and Installation

Transport is carried out with standard truck cranes or container transporters. Installation requires level, solid ground. Building permits are usually not required but should be checked with local building authorities.

Site Requirements

The container requires a site area of at least 13 × 4 meters for operation of both doors. For single-sided access, 13 × 3 meters suffice. Ground should be load-bearing and level to prevent deformation.

Maintenance and Upkeep

Annual visual inspection of door hinges and seals is recommended. When needed, rust spots should be treated and door mechanisms lubricated. Service life with proper maintenance is 25-30 years.

Common Maintenance Tasks

• Lubricate door hinges (semi-annually)
• Check and clean seals
• Rust protection for damage
• Keep drainage openings clear

Legal Aspects

Containers are classified as movable property and not subject to property tax. For commercial use, they can be depreciated over their useful life. Written permission from the owner is required for placement on third-party property.

Insurance

Contents insurance is recommended, as the container itself is usually covered by business liability insurance. Annual insurance costs are approximately $200-300, depending on content value.

Conclusion

The 40ft High Cube Double Door container is a practical solution for businesses with high storage needs and frequent material handling. The investment typically pays for itself through saved rental costs and improved work processes within 3-4 years.
