40HQ

40-foot High Cube (40HQ) is a standard term in international container shipping, referring to a container 40 feet long and 9 feet 6 inches high, about 1 foot taller than a standard 40-foot container (40GP), with an internal volume of approximately 76 cubic meters and a maximum payload of about 26-28 tons. Usage scenario: '客户管理40尺高柜' in foreign trade typically means arranging the loading, booking, customs declaration, and transportation of a 40HQ container for a specific customer's order. Precautions: Confirm that the total volume and weight of the cargo do not exceed the container's internal dimensions and weight limit; high cube containers are taller than standard ones, so some inland countries or rail transport may have restrictions; when loading, place heavy cargo at the bottom and light cargo on top to avoid unbalanced loading. Difference from 40GP: 40HQ is 30 cm taller than 40GP and has about 8 cubic meters more volume, but similar payload, suitable for light bulky cargo. Difference from 20GP: 20GP has a volume of about 28 cubic meters, suitable for small batches or heavy cargo. Example sentences demonstrate practical usage.
