Advantages of the large shipping container 45'HCPW

45' High Cube Pallet Wide: Why is this the most affordable container for warehouse?

When searching for a solution for storing belongings or goods, buyers often make a classic mistake – choose a standard 40-foot container without knowing about the existence of the 45' High Cube Pallet Wide (HCPW). If your priority is not shipping by sea, but a stationary warehouse, this used container is unbeatable in terms of efficiency.

What is the "Pallet Wide" and why is it important?

Standard sea containers are optimized for the ship space, making them slightly narrow to place two standard European pallets next to space (1200 x 800 mm). As a result, an empty, unused bar remains in the middle, which can not be usefully filled.

The 45' HCPW model is designed to fix this problem. It is wider, allowing the pallets to place next to each other. Combined with the extra Height (High Cube), you get the maximum efficiency of the room.

The comparison below demonstrates why 45' HCPW is a "smart procession" to increase the area of the warehouse:

Why choose exactly used 45' HCPW container?

Costs of capacity: When purchasing a used container, the price per storage place of the pallet is significantly lower than for a new container or for the construction of a stationary building.

Ready warehouse: No long-term construction required. Bring, place on a flat surface and immediately use. The 45-foot model offers a room almost 14 meters long, safe and airtight.

Convenient loading: Thanks to the design of the "Pallet Wide", the work with the forklift is much safer and faster. There is no risk of damaging goods on the walls, as the room is precisely adapted to the width of two pallets.

Conclusion

If there is enough space on your territory for a container of 13.7 meters, the 45' High Cube Pallet Wide is the smartest investment. It provides a third more space than the classic 40-foot model, without taking advantage of proportionally more resources.
