— Common use cases

What operators use the 40ʹ OS HC for.

  • Forklift side-loading of palletized cargo across 40 feet
  • Long cargo (pipe, lumber, structural steel) loaded sideways
  • Mobile retail and event builds requiring full-side opening
  • Storage fleets serving warehouses with side-access docks
— Important notes

Caveats and details worth knowing.

  • Side doors typically open in 8 panels along the full 40-foot length. Standard rear doors remain operational.
  • Tare is heavier than a standard 45G1 due to extensive side-door framing. Confirm exact tare with sales for the specific factory build.
— Grades we carry

Available across our condition grades.

New-build production runs are NEW (one-trip) by definition. Used inventory in the 40ʹ OS HC format is held in depots at varying grades — exact availability in the live matrix.

  • NEW — one-trip from the factory
  • 3-TRP — three-trip, near-new
  • IICL — survey-grade, pulled from active fleets
  • CW — cargo worthy, CSC-valid for international
  • WWT — wind & watertight, storage-grade
  • AS-IS — sold as-found, no guarantee
