The most prevalent container size is the 40 foot box,
which in its 2,400 cubic feet has the capacity to
carry the equivalent of 22 tons of cargo.
The initial container sizes were the “20–foot” and
the “40–foot” agreed upon in the 1960s and became
an ISO standard.
“Hi-cube” containers are one feet higher (9'6") than
the standard 8'6" height and a 40-foot hi-cube
container provides about 12% more carrying
capacity than its standard counterpart.
