More headroom, same footprint. Explore our range of high-cube shipping containers today.
High-cube containers are built to the same ISO length and width dimensions as their standard counterparts, but provide an extra foot of usable interior height. Introduced in the 1970s to maximize cargo capacity, this taller container stands 9’6” high, as opposed to the standard 8’6”, providing an extra 344 cubic ft of volume in a 40ft unit.
