713-671-0646Standard & High-Cube Dry Containers
Half-length dry container for restricted sites that still need full-width door access.
10 ft

The 10-foot container keeps the standard 8-foot width and 8-foot 6-inch height of a full ISO dry box with half the length. That combination gives a full-width door opening on a footprint short enough for alleys, rooftop plant areas and crowded yards.
It is a common choice where a 20-foot unit will fit through the gate but cannot be positioned on site. Payload capacity is proportionally lower than a 20-foot unit, so heavy dense cargo should be checked against the assigned unit's plated limits.
