Feature and Application

Let’s check out some of the main advantages and uses of 53ft high cube shipping container below.

Safe and seamless intermodal transport

As we mentioned above, 53ft high cubes are ideal for intermodal transport, mainly between trucks and trains.
They’re typically equipped with securing mechanisms, such as twist locks or lashing rings, to prevent movement or shifting during transit. This ensures the safety of both the cargo and rail personnel.
What’s more, this container type comes with corner castings—standardized fittings at each corner—which allow them to be easily lifted and secured onto rail cars using crane hooks or twist locks.

Easily stackable

Like any other ISO standard container, 53ft high cubes are designed to be stacked securely on top of one another. This means that they can be loaded onto rail cars in multiple tiers, maximizing efficiency during shipping. They’re also reinforced, preventing them from buckling when they’re at the bottom of the stack.
The 53ft is a popular choice for rail transport due to its large size. By transporting more cargo in each unit, fewer containers are needed, thus reducing handling time and allowing shippers to save on logistical costs.

Permanent storage space

If you’ve got large storage requirements, this container is the perfect choice. Store all of your goods in just one container, easy and simple. Generally speaking, shipping containers are ideal for storing materials of all kinds safely, as they’re wind and water-tight. Plus, with the right locks, your goods will also be completely protected from vandalism and theft.

Heavy load transit

With more volume, width, and height than a standard shipping container (20ft, 40ft or 40ft high cube), 53ft containers are ideal for shipping heavy machinery, cars, furniture, and construction materials over long distances.
