Clear Height

Clear Height Definition:

Clear height is the vertical clearance space within a container, and it is determined by measuring the distance between the floor and the highest point.

Clear height is the vertical space of a container without any obstruction. It is essential to have enough clearance space between the container floor and the roof to avoid cargo damage during loading and unloading. Containers with enough height offer space for stacking goods or other equipment without risking damage due to height restrictions during transportation.
