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 50 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.
Setting up a true work area? Start with our workshop ideas, then we'll spec the modifications to match.
