Compare the tare weight, payload and maximum gross weight of a 20ft Dry Van, High Cube and Low Cube.
| Specification | 20ft Dry VanStandard model | 20ft High CubeExtra height | 20ft Low CubeLower model |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tare weight | 2,050 kg | 2,230 kg | 2,000 kg |
| Payload | 28,430 kg | 28,250 kg | 28,480 kg |
| Maximum gross weight | 30,480 kg | 30,480 kg | 30,480 kg |
| Compared with standard | Standard reference | Slightly heavier due to the taller construction | Lighter due to the lower construction |
| Transport considerations | Standard transport and handling | Extra attention to height during delivery and placement | Useful where a lower overall height is required |
| Placement considerations | Level, stable and load-bearing surface | Level surface and sufficient overhead clearance required | Suitable for locations with restricted height |
| Suitable for | Standard storage and transport | More capacity with a similar gross weight | Specific uses requiring a lower overall height |
| Point to consider | Most common 20ft reference model | More internal space with a slightly higher tare weight | Lower tare weight, but also less internal height |
