HC
Container types & equipmentHigh Cube container
A container one foot taller than standard, giving about 12% more volume.
In practice
9'6" high instead of 8'6". The 40'HC (about 76 CBM) is now the most common 40' equipment. Same THC and freight as a 40'GP on most trades. Check road height limits for overheight loads in some countries.
Seen in the wild
Cargo is 72 CBM so it needs a 40HC, not a 40GP.
