40ft High Cube Container — Cargo Worthy (CW)
SKU MG-40HC-CW · Held at Johannesburg, Gauteng
A cargo worthy 40ft high cube released from the Johannesburg depot with valid CSC plating, so it can still be used for line cargo as well as storage or conversion. The extra 300 mm of internal height over a standard 40ft unit takes internal height to approximately 2.69 m, which matters when racking to the roof, driving in pallet jacks or fitting insulation and a ceiling in a conversion. Internal volume is roughly 76 m3 on a sound marine plywood floor. Cargo worthy grading means the unit has been surveyed for structural integrity, weather tightness and door operation: expect honest cosmetic wear, previous owner livery and patch repairs, but no holes, no soft floor and no distorted frame. Both forklift pockets are absent on most high cube builds, so plan on crane or tilt-bed handling. Delivered nationwide on kilometre-rated freight, or collected from the depot during posted gate hours.

The shell is fabricated from Corten A weathering steel — a copper, chromium and nickel alloy that forms a tightly adherent oxide layer instead of the flaking scale you get on mild steel. That patina slows further corrosion, which is why a 25-year-old box can still be structurally sound while a painted mild-steel shed of the same age has perforated.
Side and end panels are 14-gauge (2.0mm) corrugated sheet welded to a rigid frame of rolled top and bottom rails with cast steel corner fittings on the ISO 1161 pattern. Roof panels are 2.0mm with an arch profile that shifts standing water toward the eaves. Flooring is 28mm marine-grade plywood over steel cross-members on nominal 300mm centres, rated for a 7 260 kg forklift axle load.
Expect surface oxidation on used grades: it is cosmetic. We reject units with through-plate pitting, cracked welds at the corner posts, or bowed rails, because those defects affect stacking strength and cannot be repaired economically in the field.
