High Cube Containers for Sale

High Cube Shipping Containers for Sale

A high cube is the same 8ft-wide steel container as a standard, but built a foot taller at 9'6" exterior height. That single foot changes what the box can do: you clear tall pallets, fit a raised floor with insulation and still keep usable headroom, or finish a conversion that doesn't feel cramped. Interior height lands close to 8'10" before any floor or ceiling work, versus about 7'10" in a standard. Our high cube range spans 40ft, 45ft, and 53ft lengths, so you can pair extra height with extra length.

Where the extra foot pays off

• Habitable and office conversions where ceiling height matters after flooring and insulation
• Tall double-stacked pallet racking and bulky equipment
• Cold storage builds that lose height to floor insulation
• Workshops and gyms needing room to stand, lift, and move
• Side-door and double-door HC units for easier loading
• Mezzanine fit-outs that need clearance above and below

Lengths and conditions in stock

The 40ft high cube holds roughly 9% more volume than a 40ft standard for only a small price step up. Move up to a 45ft high cube for extra length on the same 9'6" frame, or a 53ft for maximum domestic capacity, the longest box that still moves on US roads and rail. We sell one-trip units for clean conversions, cargo-worthy boxes for inspected value, and used storage-grade for plain dry use. High cubes are marked with a yellow-and-black stripe near the top rail so handlers know to allow for the extra height.

Compare and confirm

If headroom isn't critical and you want to save, compare a 40ft container in standard height. Need even more reach? See our 45ft containers, which are high cube by design. For the smaller footprint with the same tall profile, a 20ft container is also offered in high cube. Exact heights, including the 9'6" figure, are detailed on our container dimensions page.

Flat $500 delivery covers all 50 states, set down by tilt-bed truck. Because high cubes ride taller on the trailer, double-check any low gateways, wires, or tree limbs along the route into your site before the day of delivery.

Every high cube is in stock and protected by our 30-day return policy. If you're planning a build and need to know exact interior height after insulation, or you're torn between a 40ft and a 45ft, send us your plans and we'll help you spec the right box. The extra foot is hard to add later, so it pays to size up if there's any doubt.
