What operators use the 45ʹ HC for.
- Maximum cubic capacity per box for storage operators
- North American domestic intermodal (rail and trucking)
- High-volume modifications (extended offices, residential builds)
- Long-cargo storage where 40ʹ isn’t enough but specialty length is overkill
Caveats and details worth knowing.
- Less common internationally than 20ʹ and 40ʹ sizes. International ocean transit is limited — most 45ʹ inventory moves domestically.
- Trucking routes with tight turns may require permitting or alternative routing for 45-foot loads.
Available across our condition grades.
New-build production runs are NEW (one-trip) by definition. Used inventory in the 45ʹ 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
