Same footprint as a standard 40ft, but one full foot taller. Suited to conversions, tall equipment, and Colorado mountain or ranch projects.
The "high cube" designation means exactly one thing: the container is one foot taller than a standard ISO shipping container: also known as a conex box. That takes the exterior from 8 feet 6 inches to 9 feet 6 inches, and the usable interior ceiling height from 7 feet 10 inches to 8 feet 10 inches. Available in used WWT and one-trip grades; see our condition guide for the differences.
