In detail
What is a 40ft used HC Open Side container?
An Open Side container is a container with a side opening: an entire side of the body opens, in addition to the rear doors. "HC," for High Cube, refers to a format raised by about 30 cm compared with the standard. "Used" means the unit has already been in service, then reconditioned at the depot. It is the largest format in the range.
The body, made of Corten steel, a self-weathering steel that naturally resists marine corrosion, is fully welded in HC structure. The side opening is via double doors pivoting at 270° or 180° over 12 meters. The long side hinges and seals are inspected at the depot and replaced in case of wear.
The used 40ft HC format offers 76.3 m³ of usable volume for an 18,080 kg allowable load, a value reduced by the long side cutout, with an interior height of 2.7 m. This combination of length, height and side access makes it suited to high-volume vertical cross-docking.
In detail
Open Side: why a side opening?
A standard container only opens via its rear doors. To reach a pallet at the back, all the ones at the front must first be taken out. On a high-turnover logistics flow, this lost time adds up. The Open Side solves the problem: an entire side of the body opens.
The forklift can then access any pallet directly from the dock, without moving the others. This is the principle of cross-docking; direct transfer between a truck and a dock. Depending on the format, the opening is via double doors pivoting at 270° or 180°, or via folding accordion panels that clear the full length.
Applications
Uses for a 40ft used HC Open Side container
Reconditioned, this long, tall format covers high-volume vertical cross-docking, at a reduced acquisition cost.
The applications below show in which contexts this format is most relevant. Each use links the on-the-ground need to the container's concrete benefit.
Highlights
Why buy a 40ft used HC Open Side container
The used 40ft HC Open Side is the largest format in the side-opening range: it combines 40ft length, High Cube height and full access, at a much lower cost than new. The strengths below detail what this combination brings; and a point to watch, payload, to factor into the loading calculation.
The strengths below explain what each technical choice brings to the project. They help compare the product with a less specialized alternative or a different condition.
-
Affordable price
A net saving compared with a new 40ft HC unit, with no compromise on side opening or HC height; the functions that give this format its value remain intact.
-
Maximum volume
76.3 m³ usable, the benchmark capacity of the secondary Open Side market; 40ft length and HC height combined in a single reconditioned body.
-
Additional height
30 cm more than a standard 40ft Open Side, enough to load long vertical pieces and stack pallets on two levels.
-
Body inspected at the depot
The long, tall structure is checked and the marine plywood floor inspected; a body that is refurbished, not simply repainted.
-
Hinges and seals inspected
Replaced in case of wear then sealing-tested over 12 m of opening wall, the sensitive point of a reused HC Open Side.
-
Re-validated compliance
ISO 6346 marking and the CSC plate are reissued after inspection; the Cargo Worthy rating remains possible for international maritime use.
