In detail
What is a 40ft first-trip 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. "First-trip" means it is a new unit, out of the factory after a single trip. It is the maximum 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 of wall, on reinforced hinges. The 28 mm marine plywood floor is sized for rolling loads.
The 40ft HC format frees up 76.3 m³ of usable volume over 28.28 m² of floor space, for an 18,080 kg allowable load. This payload is calibrated lower than a closed 40ft HC: the long side cutout reduces the structure's strength. The interior height of 2.7 m allows tiered palletizing along the full length.
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 first-trip HC Open Side container
The combination of 40ft length, HC height and side access opens up high-volume vertical cross-docking: the pallet is placed from the dock over 12 meters, then stacked on two levels.
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 first-trip HC Open Side container
The 40ft HC Open Side is the maximum format in the range: it combines 40ft length, High Cube height and full side access. 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.
-
Maximum volume
76.3 m³ usable, the benchmark capacity of the Open Side segment; 40ft length and HC height combined in a single body.
-
Additional height
30 cm more than a standard 40ft Open Side, enough to stack pallets on two levels and load vertical packaging.
-
Full side access
The double doors pivot at 270° or 180° over 12 meters; each spot loads directly from the dock, with no repositioning.
-
Welded Corten HC body
The structure is reinforced to absorb the triple constraint of length + height + long side opening, where a standard body would deform.
-
Payload to factor into the calculation
18,080 kg allowable, a value calibrated lower by the long side cutout; to be weighed against available volume depending on the goods' density.
-
ISO 6346 and CSC compliance
Fit for multimodal transport; the High Cube gauge requires checking heights on routes with low bridges.
Applications
What is the price of a 40ft first-trip HC Open Side container
The new 40ft HC Open Side combines three specifications, 40ft length, HC height and long side opening, which place it in an ultra-niche segment of the specialized market. Its price reflects the rarity of the units and the extra cost of the reinforcements needed for the long side cutout.
