Born from a need to compete with 53' highway trailers, these largest-of-all intermodal containers are used exclusively for shipments within North America. These corrugated steel boxes, although heavier than 53' aluminum boxes, are less expensive to build and repair and last longer. These containers are easy to spot. Most paint schemes have a "53" on the side. The stacking frames (where containers of various lengths are connected above or below the 53 footer) are still at the standard 40' mark so there is 6 and a half feet of overhang on either end of the stacking frame. Notice how much thicker the floor is on these containers versus our 45', 40' and 20' containers.

Our first release is Pacer Stacktrain. Pacer began as an intermodal logistics services provider. When American President Lines merged with Neptune Orient Line, they sold their domestic stack train operations to Pacer and these containers began to appear shortly after.

Like our other containers, these will be available in 2-packs with two different road numbers.
