ReMark Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Who knew shipping containers were so popular? I'll take two. One in red and one in gunmetal blue. Thanks. Wait...I need one in higly polished stainless-steel too. If you post a dwg file save it to a 2000 file format. That way it will be of use to most everyone here. Thanks for sharing.

JD Mather Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Who knew shipping containers were so popular? I don't think I've ever seen a "40' high shipping container". Can someone post a pic of one of these things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Yikes! Missed that one important detail. I guess that container doesn't get very far before it gets hung up on wires, a bridge or tree limbs. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longchamp Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 FYI Guys please be careful when posting your email address. Webcrawling software by spammers searches the internet for any email addresses posted and adds them to their spam lists. You can solve this by giving your email via Private Message (PM), obscuring your email (saying something like soandso AT gmail dot com or something along those lines, or by creating an image with your email address so it can't be scanned as text. for example: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen Smith Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I think the confusion is exactly what the HIGH is referring to. I read that as a shipping container that has a height dimension of 40' (I think JD Mather did too). Looking at a table on one of the links that Skipso posted, I'm still confused as the height dimensions of the 40' (regular) and the 40' high are both 8'. So just to satisfy my curiosity and add to the wealth of useless knowledge that resides in my brain - can anyone who works with these things explain why a 40' shipping container is 40' x 8' high x 8'6" wide: http://www.csshippingcontainers.co.uk/containerspecifications.html#40shipping and a 40' high shipping container is 40' x 8' high x 9'6" wide: http://www.csshippingcontainers.co.uk/containerspecifications.html#40highcube Glen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tankman Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I've never drawn a shipping container but, have used many. I frequently ship overseas in containers, worldwide. Or, if the tank(s) is too big for a container, mount to a flat rack. Here's the best I can do, a *.pdf file of container sizes. :wink: ContainerSizes.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Smith Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Looks like conflicting sizes on the heights and widths. At this point I'm more likely to believe your PDF Tankman, I can't imagine that different width containers would be helpful when loading these puppies onto a cargo ship. Thanks for the clarification.

Tankman Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I did find some 2D *.dwg files for overseas containers. The files present various views; i.e.: top, bottom, side, ends. There are a number of add'l drawings in the ZIP file, too big a file to post all of it. :wink: Adjust size as required. Hope this gets you out of the gate.
