01Dimensions and capacity
Internal (L × W × H): 156 × 153 × 163 cm.
Payload: ~1.588 kg. Volume: 4,5 m³.
Exact internal dimensions vary marginally by build year and manufacturer; always check the specific dimensions of your carrier/lessor before booking. For customs the ISO type designation is decisive.
02Typical use cases
Standard underfloor container for widebody passenger aircraft (A330, B777, B787).
Key questions before choosing: Does the equipment fit the weight-to-volume ratio of my cargo? Are oversize dimensions (over-length, over-width) involved? How is the pallet stow optimised (1-0-1 or 2-1 pattern)?
03Booking, handling, stowage
Check for valid CSC plates, legible type markings and undamaged seals/doors. For reefers: verify set-point before take-over and a pre-trip inspection (PTI). For flat racks / open tops: use securing measures (lashing, dunnage) per the CTU Code.
