What a 40ft container is

The 40ft standard is the default dry box of the container trades, and most of what moves through South Florida is either this or its high cube version. Outside it is 40 ft long, 8 ft wide and 8 ft 6 in tall. Inside, the nominal figures are about 39 ft 5.5 in by 7 ft 8.5 in by 7 ft 10 in, which comes to roughly 2,389 cu ft, a little over twice a 20ft standard.

The door opening is about 7 ft 8 in wide by 7 ft 5.5 in tall, and it is smaller than the interior in both directions. That gap is where loading plans go wrong. Tare on a typical 40 is around 8,380 lb, but these are nominal figures for the type and the true tare is stencilled on the door of the unit you are given.

Choosing between a 40, a 20 and a high cube

A 40 is the right box when you have volume and ordinary weight. It gives you 2,389 cu ft for one booking, one chassis and one appointment, where two 20s give you 2,344 cu ft for two of each. The 20 wins on density, because a pair of short boxes can legally carry far more total weight than one 40, and it wins where the delivery simply cannot take 40 ft of box on a chassis.

The high cube is the same 40 with a foot more inside, about 8 ft 10 in of height and 2,695 cu ft, for freight that is tall rather than heavy. On the Caribbean and Central America trades out of PortMiami and Port Everglades you will also meet 45 ft boxes, which add length again but need a 45 ft or extendable chassis. If the cargo is wider or taller than any box, the answer stops being a container and becomes an open top, a flat rack or an open deck trailer.

What people get wrong: the payload figure and the door

The 44,000 lb road figure is published, not derived here: the Florida road table and the ocean carriers' OCEMA guideline both put a 40 ft dry box at 44,000 lb of cargo on a standard chassis, and Crowley lists 44,200 for its high cubes. It is what is left of the 80,000 lb legal gross once the tractor, the chassis and the container's 8,380 lb tare are taken out. The container itself is rated far higher, at 67,200 lb gross, which is a sea figure and not a road one. Confusing the two is how a legally stuffed box becomes an illegal truck.

The other recurring problem is measuring against the interior. Height at the ceiling is about 7 ft 10 in and the door opening is roughly four inches less, so a crate that fits the box does not always fit the way in. Width behaves the same way. Measure the cargo on its pallet, then measure the opening at both ends of the trip, because the customer's dock door is often tighter than anything on the container.

What to send to get it booked

Container number, steamship line and terminal first, because those settle the gate requirement and the appointment. Then the delivery address, the last free day if you know it, and the cargo weight as it reads on the bill of lading rather than an estimate, since that is what decides whether this is an ordinary move or a permitted one.

Say whether the box is being stripped live while the driver waits or dropped and collected later, and say what the receiving site looks like if it is anything other than a dock. Sixty five feet of combination needs room to turn and room to leave. If the freight is coming out of the box for an inland run anyway, mention it, because a transload onto a dry van at the warehouse can be cheaper than driving the container up the state.

常见问题

直接回答


How much can a 40ft container weigh on the road in Florida?

Around 44,000 lb of cargo on a standard 40ft chassis, the figure the Florida road table and the ocean carriers' own guideline, OCEMA, both publish. Treat it as the planning figure rather than a guarantee, since the real tare of your box and how the load sits on the axles both move it. Anything above it is an overweight move: different chassis, a permit, and port limits on top.

Is one 40ft container cheaper than two 20ft containers?

On a lane where both fit, usually yes. One 40 is one booking, one chassis, one appointment and one delivery, and it gives 2,389 cu ft against 2,344 for a pair of 20s. The pair wins when weight is the problem, because two short boxes can legally carry roughly 76,000 lb of cargo between them against one 40's 44,000, or when the delivery cannot physically take a 40 ft box on a chassis.

How many pallets fit in a 40ft container?

Twenty standard 40 by 48 in pallets on the floor, two across with the 40 in edge facing out and ten rows deep, which uses almost all of the 39 ft 5.5 in of interior length. The width is the constraint on the pattern: at about 7 ft 8.5 in inside there is no room to turn a pallet sideways in the main run. Stacking a second tier depends on your freight and on 7 ft 10 in of height.

Does a 40ft container need a special chassis?

No, a standard 40ft chassis is the normal answer, and it also carries a 40ft high cube. The chassis becomes a question at 45 ft, where a fixed 45 or an extendable is needed, and at heavy weights, where an extra axle is what makes the load legal. For an ordinary 40 the chassis is the least interesting part of the move: the terminal, the appointment and the weight decide the day.

How much room does a truck need to deliver a 40ft container?

More than most people picture. The box alone is 40 ft, the combination with a tractor runs to around 65 ft, and it has to swing in, stop square and pull straight out again. A yard that takes a 53 ft dry van will take a 40ft container on a chassis. A tight residential approach, a narrow gate or a street with parked cars on both sides often will not, and that is a better conversation before the truck is dispatched than at the curb.

40英尺标准箱 的内尺寸是多少?

内长、内宽和内高都列在本页的规格表里,外尺寸和箱门开口也在同一张表上。真正决定一台机器进不进得去的是箱门开口,它比内尺寸更小。

40英尺标准箱 需要什么底盘车?

Standard 40ft. 底盘车由我们自备,所以订不订得成,不取决于码头那天早上有什么车。

超重的能拉吗?

能,用对的底盘车,配上对的许可。超重和箱型尺寸是两个分开的问题,而且各港口在州的限值之外还有自己的限值。

你们从哪里提 40英尺标准箱?

Port of Miami, Port Everglades, Port of Palm Beach, POMTOC, South Florida Container Terminal, Seaboard Marine, Florida International Terminal, Port Everglades Terminal, Crowley, King Ocean, MSC, Tropical Shipping, Antillean Marine, FEC Port Everglades ICTF, FEC Hialeah rail ramp and CSX ramp.

什么是免堆期最后一天(last free day)?

您的箱子可以免费停在码头里面的最后一天。过了这一天,滞港费就开始按天累计,所以提前提箱几乎总是比干等便宜。

什么是提前提箱(pre-pull)?

在您准备好收货之前,我们先把箱子从码头提出来,放在堆场上。这样滞港费就不会按码头的费率往上跑,您的收货安排也不用再赶。

滞港费、滞箱费和车辆滞留费有什么区别?

这是三笔来自不同收费方的费用。滞港费是码头向您收的,因为超过免费时间之后货还留在闸口里面。滞箱费是船公司向您收的,因为超过免费时间之后您还占着他们的箱子。车辆滞留费是卡车方的时间成本,司机在您的月台等候超过免费时段之后开始计算。这三笔可以同时在跑,账单就是这样很快变得难看的。

怎么拿到运价?

一份拖车报价里到底包含什么?

运输本身,加上那些事后最容易让人措手不及的附加费:底盘车、提前提箱、滞箱费、滞港费、车辆滞留费和仓储费。我们宁可一开始就把它们说清楚,也不愿意事后加到账单上。
