A standard 40-foot container weighs approximately 3,800 kilograms when empty, although this can vary slightly depending on the container’s age and any additional features or modifications. A high-cube 40-foot container typically weighs a bit more due to its additional height. When fully loaded, a 40-foot container can hold up to 30,000 kilograms, making it suitable for transporting heavy items and bulk materials. This weight capacity is one of the reasons 40-foot containers are popular for both international shipping and on-site storage.
