New 40-Foot High Cube Open Side Container – Durable, Versatile, and Efficient
A new 40-foot High Cube Open Side Container is designed for maximum accessibility and cargo flexibility. Its open side and increased height make it ideal for oversized goods, palletized cargo, and on-site storage where easy loading and unloading is required.

Constructed from premium Corten steel, this container ensures long-lasting durability, weather resistance, and security. Fully ISO and CSC certified, it meets international standards for safe shipping and storage.

What does “new container” mean?
A “new” shipping container is a so-called one-trip container – it has only been used once for transport from the factory to its first destination. This ensures minimal wear and tear, perfect condition, and the highest standards of durability and longevity compared to used containers.

Pick-Up

A member of our team will reach out to coordinate your pick-up. With this option, you are responsible for ensuring you have a suitable vehicle and the proper equipment to safely offload your container on your property.

 

Tilt-Bed Delivery

If you select tilt-bed delivery, your shipping container will be delivered on a tilt-bed trailer. This is a specialized piece of equipment that is towed by either a hot shot truck or standard truck cab. Then, the front of the bed is raised so the container slides safely to the ground as the driver slowly drives forward.

To facilitate delivery on a tilt-bed trailer, you will need:

  • Length Clearance: 100ft (30.5m)
  • Height Clearance: 15ft (4.5m)*
  • Width Clearance: 12ft (3.65m)

 

Note: Any low-hanging wires at the drop-site must be at least 18ft off the ground for the trailer to tilt safely.
