Understanding High Cube Shipping Containers

High cube containers are specialized shipping containers that are taller than standard containers. The added height increases storage capacity to allow for more efficient stacking and storage of goods.

Dimensions

High cube containers are available in 20, 40, and 45ft variants. They are 30 cm (approximately 1 foot) taller than standard containers. Standard containers are 8'6" tall, while high cube containers measure 9'6" in height. 

Common Uses

  1. Temporary Storage: High cube containers can be used for temporary storage of goods that need to be stored for a while before reaching their final destination.
  2. Special Loads: The modification options (such as air-conditioning and ventilation) enable these containers to carry sensitive electronic and electrical equipment, household furniture, or charitable supplies.
  3. Shipping: High cube containers are suited to sending large shipments over long distances.
