This prefabricated 20-foot High Cube shipping container has been converted into a working office space. Built from used cargo-grade steel, it suits a range of commercial and industrial uses and gives you a durable, portable way to add workspace.
Key Features
- High cube specification: Adds 1 foot of extra vertical space over a standard container for greater interior volume.
- Weather-resistant construction: The steel exterior stands up to varied weather and is fitted with seals to keep water out around doors and installed components.
- Pre-installed utilities: Basic electrical wiring serves lighting and standard outlets, and a basic electrical panel is included for connection to an external power source.
- Lockable entry: A standard steel man-door provides secure access, while the double doors at one end keep their original locking rods for added security.
- Durable flooring: A 5/8-inch plywood overlay creates a stable surface for office furniture.
This 20-foot High Cube container office is built from Corten steel, valued for its durability and corrosion resistance. The unit is wind and water tight to keep the interior protected, and it is insulated throughout to even out interior temperatures and cut external noise.
The conversion centers on a functional workspace. The electrical system adds overhead LED lighting and several outlets, so it is ready for office equipment, and the interior walls are lined with finished plywood that gives a clean surface for painting or customization. A standard wall-mounted unit supplies ventilation.
Portability is built in. The structure keeps its original corner castings, rated for lifting and transport, and it can be delivered by flatbed truck and set on a prepared level surface, concrete blocks, or a foundation. Be sure to check local building codes and permit requirements before installation.

Why a 20ft High Cube Container Office Beats a Rented Trailer
Rented site trailers keep costing money after the project stops being profitable. A 20ft high cube container office is bought once, moved as often as you like, and still has resale value when the work is done. The high cube height is the detail that makes it comfortable, giving roughly a foot more headroom than a standard container before ceiling finishes go in.
This one arrives converted rather than as a shell. Wiring, lighting, a personnel door, and a finished floor are already in place, so the work left on your side is connecting a supply and moving furniture in.
Specifications at a Glance
- External dimensions: 20' x 8' x 9'6" high cube
- Interior headroom: approximately 8'10" before ceiling build-up
- Floor area: around 160 square feet with a 5/8" plywood overlay
- Base unit: used cargo-grade steel, wind and watertight, insulated throughout
- Electrical: interior lighting and outlets on a basic panel for an external supply
- Access: lockable steel personnel door, original cargo doors retained at one end
- Delivery: flat $500 across all 50 states, tax-inclusive pricing
Portable Workspace Roles for a Converted Container Office
The retained cargo doors are worth planning around. They let you use one end for secure storage while the rest works as an office, which a trailer cannot do.
- Project office on a construction or infrastructure site
- Security post or weighbridge office at a yard entrance
- Sales and rental office at a lot, nursery, or storage facility
- Remote field office for utilities, forestry, or environmental crews
- Backup workspace during a renovation or after storm damage
Power, Placement, and Comparing Options
Have a licensed electrician bring the supply to the panel and inspect the installation to local code before anyone works inside. Set the unit on four level bearing points and leave the personnel door on the side that faces foot traffic rather than the truck route. Allow the container length plus around 40 feet of straight approach and 15 feet of overhead for delivery. Browse the wider container catalog, compare fitted units in the container office range, look at raw shells in the high cube category, or see how this build differs from our standard container office.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is heating and cooling included?
Not unless it is specifically listed on this page. The unit is insulated, which flattens temperature swings considerably, but most owners add a wall unit or mini-split sized for their climate by an HVAC contractor. If you need that specified as part of the purchase, tell us before the order is confirmed.
What is the advantage of high cube for an office?
Headroom. Once you add a ceiling, lighting, and any floor build-up, a standard 8'6" container starts to feel low, especially for taller occupants. Starting at 9'6" leaves comfortable clearance after the finishes are in and gives room to run conduit or ducting above the ceiling line.
Can it be stacked or relocated later?
It keeps its ISO corner castings, so relocation by tilt-bed, side loader, or crane works exactly as it does with any container. Stacking an occupied office unit brings in access, egress, and structural questions that vary by jurisdiction, so talk to us and your local building official before planning a two-level setup.
