Stoughton Trailers, LLC unveiled its 53-foot intermodal container, engineered to deliver unmatched durability, capacity and long-term value to today’s freight carriers and shippers.
“At Stoughton, we have always focused on building equipment that delivers a tangible advantage to our customers,” says Pat Gunn, VP, sales – intermodal at Stoughton Trailers. “This new intermodal container sets a higher standard in the market, giving carriers the durability they expect with the added capacity that drives real bottom-line success.”
Key takeaways:
· These containers feature rugged construction and unmatched craftsmanship. They’re built to thrive in the harshest operating environments, delivering reliable performance and long service life—mile after mile, year after year.
· Inside, the containers deliver 100.375-inch internal width, a full 2.375 inches wider than standard welded container construction. That extra width translates into 262 cubic feet of added space, or 6.5% more volume with every load over corrugated steel containers. Combined with smooth, non-snag walls and integrated logistic tracks, freight stays protected, loading is quieter, and every move is safer, faster and more efficient.
· The G-bond composite plate-style design with weather-resistant bonded sidewall panels eliminate rivet fatigue, reduces corrosion while it increases east of repairability strength and service life.
· Built to exceed AAR and domestic rail specifications, every container features heavy-duty hot dip galvanized steel stacking posts, corner posts and understructure for superior corrosion protection and reduced repair frequency saves on long-term capital costs and improves ROI. Reinforced front and rear door frames withstand high-cycle, punishing use, while ISO corner castings enable stacking strength and crane-lift versatility for complete intermodal flexibility.
