A little more perspective
Triton’s typical fleet specification lists the 20-foot standard container at 6058 × 2438 × 2591 millimeters externally. Its interior height is separately listed at 2393 millimeters. The full external assembly, including corner castings, is the selected height.
This is the standard-height dry configuration, not a high-cube, open-top, refrigerated or flat-rack container. The generated side view is calibrated vertically; its illustrated length is approximate and should not be used to measure cargo space or a container footprint.
