About 40ft High-Cube Shipping Containers for Rent

Enjoy the convenience of a large self-storage unit from the comfort of home. CHS Container Group’s 40ft high-cube containers are the largest units available for rent, providing an extra 344 ft3 of storage space compared to their standard-height counterparts. Available for private and business storage use, 40ft high-cube rentals are ideal for storage of palletized goods and seasonal inventory, in addition to furniture, equipment—and even small vehicles.

Choose to rent on a short- or long-term basis, with fixed-term and month-to-month contracts available.
Features

  • COR-TEN steel storage container finished with marine-grade paint
  • Quality inspected to meet strict “one-trip” container requirements
  • One set of outswing cargo doors fitted with waterproof rubber seals
  • Solid wooden floor fitted on a T-bar steel frame for protection against ground moisture
  • Windowless, single-entry design protects your privacy

 

Renting a Storage Container

Our fleet of 40ft high-cube shipping containers, though still “cargo-worthy” by CSC standards, are no longer used for international logistics. They may have rust, scuffs, and dents from their use in international logistics, but are guaranteed to be weatherproof and fit for purpose. CHS Container Group’s storage containers can come in a variety of colours and may prominently feature the logos of global maritime companies. If you need a “like-new” container to place in a high-traffic setting, contact the sales team with your request.

Why rent from CHS Container Group?

  • Fast delivery: Access rental inventory across Germany and Europe
  • Flexible terms: Choose from fixed-term or month-to-month (minimum four-week term)
  • Budget friendly: No large upfront costs – just pay monthly and stop whenever your project wraps

FAQ

What condition will I receive my rental container in?

We have an extensive inventory of used ‘cargo-worthy’ shipping containers available for rent, as well as new ‘one-trip’ condition containers available on request. If you don’t mind scuffs and dents, and want your container quickly, place your order through our one-page checkout. If you’d prefer a “good looking” 40ft High-Cube shipping container, or have a specific colour request, speak to our sales team today.

How much taller is a high-cube vs a standard container?

A 40ft high-cube shipping container is 9’6” tall with an interior clearance of 8’10”. A standard 40ft container is 8’6” with an internal clearance of 7’10”. The extra height a high-cube container provides makes it perfect for storing tall equipment or stacks of palletized stock. To learn more about 40ft high-cube container dimensions, consult our shipping container dimensions guide.

How fast can you deliver a 40ft high-cube shipping container rental?

CHS Container Group has a well-stocked fleet of 40ft high-cube shipping container rentals ready to deliver within 5-7 days. Have a specific delivery date in mind? Contact our sales team for a quote and available delivery times in your area.

How much does a 40ft high-cube storage container cost?

The monthly payments on a 40ft high-cube container rental can start from as low as 180 EUR per month, with delivery costs added as a separate, one-time charge. This is typically cheaper than renting a self-storage unit of the same size (305 sq. ft.), depending on where you live, and eliminates the hassle and risk of storing your items in a third-party facility.

How long can I rent a 40ft high-cube shipping container?
The minimum term for renting a container from CHS Container Group is four weeks. There is no maximum. You can either sign up for a fixed-term contract, or rent on a month-to-month basis.

If you’re considering renting a container for more than 12-18 months, you may want to consider buying a 40ft new high-cube container outright.
