Same 40-ft footprint, one extra foot of height. The high-cube stands 9′6″ tall, roughly nine feet of clear interior, so you can stack pallets two-high, roll machinery in, or finish a ceiling and still stand up straight. From $4,900, delivered free within 75 miles of Woodlawn.
On paper, a high-cube and a standard 40-ft look almost identical: both are 40 feet long and 8 feet wide, sitting on the same footprint. The only difference is height, 9′6″ on the outside versus 8′6″, and that single extra foot lands you somewhere around 2,690 cubic feet, about 300 more than a standard 40-ft.
It doesn't sound like much until you load it. That foot is the difference between pallets you can stack two-high and pallets that hit the ceiling. It's the clearance a forklift mast or a tall piece of equipment needs to roll in clean. And it's what turns a cramped metal box into a finished office or shop where a six-footer never ducks.
Genuine ISO high-cube units in 14-gauge Cor-Ten weathering steel, the same tough build as every container we sell, just a foot taller.
High-cube available in used cargo-worthy or like-new one-trip. See full sale pricing & conditions, or browse all container types.
If you plan to insulate and line the walls and ceiling, start with a high-cube. You'll spend that extra foot on the build-out and still finish with full standing clearance.
Roll-up doors, man doors, windows, vents, electrical, insulation, shelving, paint, we modify high-cubes into offices, shops, and workspaces, and the extra foot of height makes the finished result feel open instead of closed-in.
