40HC & 20DC Container Scaffolding Export Guide: m² Payloads, Steel Stillages & HS Code 7308.40.00 Customs
Freight efficiency makes or breaks international scaffolding procurement. Here are the exact 20DC, 40HC, and 13.60 m Euro-trailer payload capacities, steel stillage dimensions, and HS Code 7308.40.00 customs documents dispatched from our Gebze port hub.
| Transport Unit | Internal Volume | Max Net Payload | H-Type Facade m² | Ringlock System m² | Optimal Cargo Mix |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20’ Dry Container (20DC) | 5.89 × 2.35 × 2.39 m (33 m³) | 21,500 – 24,000 kg | ~750 – 900 m² (Volume-Bound) | ~1,050 – 1,250 m² | Dense Ringlock Standards, Screw Jacks & Coupler Bins |
| 40’ High Cube (40HC) | 12.03 × 2.35 × 2.69 m (76 m³) | 25,000 – 26,200 kg | ~1,450 – 1,650 m² Complete | ~1,250 – 1,400 m² Complete | Full H-Frame Facade Lots, Steel Decks & Mixed Towers |
| 13.60 m Euro-Trailer (FTL) | 13.60 × 2.48 × 2.75 m (92 m³) | 24,000 kg (Road Limit) | ~1,450 – 1,600 m² Complete | ~1,200 – 1,350 m² Complete | European Overland DAP & Domestic Turkish Job Sites |
| SM-F664 Open Stillage | 115 × 140 × 130 cm (46 kg) | 1,500 – 2,000 kg/rack | 25–30 H-Frames or 80 Decks | 120–160 Standards / Ledgers | 4-High Warehouse Stacking & Fast Forklift Unloading |
| SM-K667 Barrier Stillage | 80 × 140 cm (29 kg) | 330 – 360 kg/rack | — | 25 Mesh Panels (62.5 m) | Vertical Crane-Ready EN 13374 Edge Panel Transport |
1. 20DC vs. 40HC Container Optimization for Scaffolding Importers
Welded H-frames occupy cubic volume faster than weight, making the 40’ High Cube (40HC, 76 m³, 25.5t net) the gold standard for H-Type Facade Scaffolding (~1,450–1,650 m² complete per 40HC). Conversely, high-density Ringlock standards, base jacks, and SM-A661 steel bins of forged couplers maximize 20DC weight limits (~21.5–24.0t).
2. 15-Minute Proximity to Gebze Container Terminals & Steel Stillage Packing
Our 34,000 m² Gebze–Dilovası OIZ factory sits 15 minutes from DP World Yarımca, Evyapport, and Safiport Derince, eliminating inland drayage delays. Cargo is steel-strapped in engineered bundles or packed inside SM-F664 open stillages and SM-A661 coupler bins for 45-minute forklift discharge at destination.
3. HS Code 7308.40.00, A.TR / EUR.1 & SGS / BV Pre-Shipment Inspection
Steel scaffolding systems export globally under HS Code 7308.40.00 (aluminium towers under 7610.90). Every export container shipment includes Commercial Invoice, Detailed SKU Packing List, Bill of Lading, A.TR / EUR.1 / Certificate of Origin, EN 10204 3.1 steel mill certificates, EN ISO 1461 galvanizing reports, and full support for African/MENA ECTN, BESC, SONCAP, and SABER inspections.
