This 40-foot high cube container offers roughly 320 square feet of floor space with an internal height of 8 feet 10 inches. The added height takes taller loads or gives more standing room inside, and the shell is COR-TEN weathering steel.
This unit meets cargo-worthy standards, confirming it has passed inspection for intermodal transport. The structure withstands repeated lifting, stacking and transit by ship, rail or truck. The double doors at one end open to the full container width for loading, built-in vents allow airflow, the plywood floor sits above grade, and a corner casting at each corner supports lifting and securement during transport.

This container is intended for applications including warehouse expansion, intermodal freight transport, export and import shipping, on-site storage requiring additional height, and mobile storage units.
Making the Most of the Extra Height
That one extra foot changes more than you'd think. A 40ft high cube shipping container gives you nearly nine feet of internal clearance, which is enough to walk through comfortably, install shelving above head height, or load tall machinery and palletized freight that wouldn't clear a standard box. For conversions, the added headroom is what makes insulation, ceiling finishes, and HVAC feasible without feeling cramped.
Holding cargo-worthy certification, this unit has passed inspection for intermodal transport, so it's equally at home being shipped, railed, or trucked as it is sitting stationary as long-term storage. The COR-TEN weathering steel shell and corner castings mean it can be lifted, stacked, and relocated repeatedly without losing its structural integrity.
- Storage for tall equipment, racking, or bulky inventory needing vertical room
- Workshop, gym, or studio conversions where standing height matters
- Cargo-worthy transport of goods by sea, rail, or road
- Modular building projects that benefit from extra interior volume
With roughly 320 square feet of floor space plus the high-cube ceiling, you get one of the most flexible footprints in the used-container market.
