Half height containers, also known as "half-heighten" containers, are specialized containers that are designed for the transportation of heavy goods with low volume cargo by rail and sea. They are typically half the height of a standard shipping container, which makes them more suitable for moving heavy goods that do not require a lot of space.

Half height containers are individually handled, but they are often transported together with other containers. This allows for efficient and cost-effective transportation of heavy goods by rail or sea.

Use of Half Height Container

Half height containers are regularly used to transport heavy cargo.

Like other shipping containers, half height containers are manufactured according to DNV standards, which ensure their quality and durability. They are equipped with features such as certified slings, multiple internal tie-down points, cargo restraining nets, anti-slip surfaces on the floors, forklift pockets, and more. This makes them suitable for a variety of cargo and transportation needs.

In addition to standard half height containers, open-top half height containers are also available. These containers have a removable roof, which allows for easy loading and unloading of cargo from the top side of the container.

Half height containers are customizable, and can be manufactured in a range of sizes and with removable sides or swinging doors, depending on the specific requirements of the customer. Overall, they provide a versatile and efficient solution for transporting heavy goods by rail or sea.
