40 ft Shipping Container – Water Tight – High Cube

This 40 ft High Cube container is a standardized ISO unit originally built for freight but now widely used for secure ground-level storage and conversion work. The 'High Cube' label signals a 1-foot height gain over a standard shipping container, giving 344 sq ft of floor space along with considerably more headroom.

Its structural strength comes from a robust steel frame and corrugated wall panels engineered for high static loads. The floor is marine-grade plywood, treated against rot and moisture, laid across transverse steel crossmembers spaced 24 inches apart to bear heavy, concentrated weights such as forklifts or palletized cargo.

Entry is through dual rear doors of high-tensile steel that open a full 270 degrees for unobstructed loading. The door assembly carries tamper-resistant hardware and a locking-bar system that compresses the rubber gaskets to hold a water-tight seal. As a wind and water-tight unit, it makes a durable home for on-site material storage, agricultural supply housing, or a structural starting point for workshops and offices.
