Half Height Container

High quality half height container is offered by China manufacturer Container Family. These containers are called “half-height” because their height is shorter than a standard dry shipping container by half. Half height containers are ideal for moving heavy goods with low-volume cargo.

These heavy duty shipping containers feature a half size and opened top modification combined. A roof can be added on with a hard top or a removable tarp.

The shorter dimensions of the half high open top allow for loading and unloading directly from the topside of the container. This modification is useful for transporting over-weight and over-height goods or equipment.

Feature and Application

The half height open top container is a stronger option due to its shorter sides. This makes it optional for heavier loads. Plus, the open top has its own qualities. It is available in 20′ and 40′ dimensions.

One of the key features of half height containers is a removable hard lid for easy loading and unloading of cargo. This is beneficial, especially with over-height goods that require an open lid when transported or stored. This feature is what differentiates half height containers from dry shipping containers.

However, just like any other container, this unit has two swing rear doors opening at the back of the container to provide a convenient and spacious opening to load, and unload goods, and access to the inside.

They are used to transport pipes, tools, chains, hooks, anchors, and sometimes even vehicles. Half height containers are often used in locations with height restrictions, such as mines or underground construction sites. Hence, these containers are also used to transport items such as coal, sand, and gravel.

What are the benefits of using half height containers?

Half height containers are specially designed containers for specific uses. Hence, these containers have several benefits, such as:

1. Easier loading and unloading

The half-height design makes it easy for heavy and over-height goods to be loaded in and out with lifting equipment, such as cranes. This is practically useful in the industry of mining and construction, where large equipment or materials need to be transported or stored.

2. Versatility

Half height containers can be used for a wide range of applications, from transporting heavy machinery to storing bulk materials. What makes them versatile is the hard lid that can be installed when needed and removed when storing over-height goods.

3. Durable and safe

The containers adhere to ISO standards. Hence, they are designed to withstand harsh conditions during transit. Half height containers are also equipped with a secure and safe locking system on the removable hard lid and two container doors at the end.
