53' Corrugated Containers

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. Like our other containers, the deLuxe innovations 53' Corrugated Containers will come in 2 packs with 2 different road numbers.

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 sill 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.

Part #: DI-13070 APL (American Presidents' Line) 53' Corrugated Container
Click photo to see large view
American President Lines acquired these 53’ boxes for domestic service prior to their merger with Neptune Orient Line. After the merger, APL’s domestic service was sold to Pacer Stacktrain. These containers, still with their original lettering and road numbers, now operate as part of the Pacer Stacktrain fleet.
 
Part #: DI-13090 Swift (American Presidents' Line) 53' Corrugated Container
Click photo to see large view
In 2005, BNSF announced that they would phase out their own container and trailer fleets. Arrangements were made with highway carriers and logistics companies such as Swift and Hub Group to take over leases on BNSF boxes and acquire new ones under their own flag. Swift set up a new subsidiary for this business called Swift Intermodal and began to take delivery of these handsome boxes. Unlike most containers, these boxes have conspicuity stripes much like highway trailers. These containers are now a common site in intermodal trains.

Third Release

Part #: DI-13040 NACS 53' Corrugated Containers
Click photo to see large view
North American Container System (NACS) is a pool of domestic containers shared between its member railroads, BNSF, Canadian National, CSX, Kansas City Southern, and Conrail. Presumably, CSX took Conrail’s share when Big Blue was split between CSX and Norfolk Southern. Though many NACS containers formerly carried the flags of the members, these 53 footers were delivered new to NACS.

 
Part #: DI-13050 Alaska Marine Line 53' Corrugated Containers
Click photo to see large view
Alaska Marine Lines uses ocean going barges to connect Alaska with the port of Seattle. Northbound loads are often groceries while timber products and other Alaskan goods make up the back-haul. Many of these back-hauls warrant a train trip deep into the “ Lower 48.”
 
Part #: DI-13080 Hub Group 53' Corrugated Containers
Click photo to see large view
Hub Group has long been a partner in BNSF container operations with their logo often sharing space with the BNSF logo on domestic boxes. With BNSF’s exit from the equipment business, Hub is going it alone with these bright red boxes. Presumably, Hub is taking sole possession of the fleet of 53’ boxes operated with BNSF under the old arrangement.

Item Description
 

Stock Checks:

Inventory is a fluid commodity.  It changes by the hour (sometimes by the minute). To retain our pricing structure we maintain stock levels designed to turnover 6 times each year. We cannot guarantee stock status till we have an order in hand. All product is subject to prior sale. If we confirm that we have it, and, while we are waiting for the order it sells, you would be upset that we did not hold it.
We used to hold items but learned a VERY EXPENSIVE lesson. When we held items for customers’ orders, the order never materialized 80%+ of the time.  We lost out on the orders placed while the item was on hold.  Also we wasted staff time that could have been used to pull actual orders.
Since we are well known for finding older stock the fact that it may not be on our shelves at this minute does not mean we can’t get it. So, as we spell out on our terms pages, we don’t do it anymore. You may, however, call in and we will tell you if the items are available and if possible attempt to locate what we don’t have while you are on the phone.
