Extra Height, Maximum Capacity and Reliable Performance
The 40′ High Cube Used Shipping Container is an excellent choice for customers who need a large-capacity container with additional vertical space. Measuring approximately 40 feet in length and 9 feet 6 inches in height, this High Cube container provides approximately one extra foot of height compared with a standard 40-foot container, making it particularly suitable for storing or transporting tall, bulky or high-volume cargo.
With approximately 76.4 m³ of internal storage volume, this container provides a substantial amount of space for machinery, equipment, furniture, construction materials, inventory and other dry goods. Its long interior and increased height make it a practical solution for businesses that need to maximize storage capacity while maintaining the flexibility of a standard ISO container format.
Constructed from durable Corten steel, the container is built to withstand demanding environments and regular handling. The steel construction provides strength, security and protection against outdoor conditions, making the unit suitable for both commercial and industrial applications.
Because this is a used container, it may show normal signs of previous service, including dents, scratches, paint wear or surface rust. However, cosmetic wear does not prevent the container from providing dependable storage or transport functionality. The unit is quality inspected, with its structural integrity, doors, locks and weatherproof sealing checked to help ensure it remains functional and ready for use.
More Space Than a Standard 40′ Container
The main advantage of the High Cube design is its additional height. While a standard container is approximately 8 feet 6 inches / 2.59 m high, this model reaches approximately 9 feet 6 inches / 2.9 m externally.
That additional vertical space can make a major difference when storing or transporting:
- Tall machinery and equipment
- Construction materials
- Large furniture
- Commercial inventory
- Industrial components
- Palletized goods
- Warehouse stock
- Bulky cargo
- Equipment that requires additional headroom
The container provides approximately 305.37 square feet of interior floor space, giving customers a large and flexible storage area.

However, the container is intended to remain structurally functional and suitable for its intended applications.
Quality Checks Include
- Structural integrity verification
