As the biggest container in our range, the 45ft high cube is available for sale throughout the USA. We supply these in used condition only, and they are notably roomy, providing an additional foot of height and sitting four inches wider than a standard container. Their pallet-wide design makes them an excellent choice for the safe storage, transportation, and international shipping of large cargo.
Key Features
- Used 45ft high cube, inspected as structurally sound, wind and watertight
- Plywood floors with multiple air vents and lashing points
- Repainting service available for a fresh finish, since used units vary in appearance and condition
- Optional lockbox installation before delivery for extra security, at additional charge
- Pallet-wide capacity of up to 26 standard 40 x 48 in pallets
Every used 45ft container we stock is inspected as structurally sound, wind and watertight, and is fitted with plywood floors along with several air vents and lashing points. Because these second-hand units differ in appearance and condition, we offer a repainting service if a fresh coat is wanted, and a lockbox can be added before delivery for an additional charge when customers want extra security.
The approximate dimensions of a 45ft pallet-wide container are: external length 45 ft, width 8 ft 2 in, height 9 ft 6 in; internal length 44 ft 5 in, width 8 ft, height 8 ft 10 in. These figures can vary slightly by manufacturer. Commonly used for moving goods, a 45ft container holds up to 26 standard 40 x 48 in pallets.
These containers serve a range of purposes, including transporting cargo internationally by sea, land, or rail (they are most often used to ship consumer products, machinery, and oversized items worldwide), providing temporary or permanent storage for businesses and individuals, and being modified into custom-built structures such as offices or workshops. If a 45ft unit is larger than your available space, we also stock smaller containers in 10ft, 20ft, 30ft, and 40ft sizes.
Comparing 45ft and 40ft containers, we carry a wider selection of new and used 40ft units with extra access options such as tunnels, side openers, and tri doors. We ship from our Ohio yard to all 50 states at a flat delivery rate per order.
Reading the Grades on a Used 45ft High Cube Container
Two labels appear on this listing, and buyers should know what each one commits to. A used 45ft high cube container described as wind and watertight is sealed against weather and suited to ground storage; cargo-worthy means it has been assessed as fit to be loaded and shipped internationally. The second is a higher bar than the first, and it is the reason two visually similar containers can carry different prices.
Beyond grading, the 45-footer earns its place through geometry. It is the longest ISO-family box in general circulation and it is built pallet-wide, giving you a few extra inches across the floor that change how efficiently loads sit.
Specifications at a Glance

- Door opening: 7'8" W × 8'6" H
- Internal capacity: roughly 3,040 cubic feet
- Tare weight: approximately 10,600 lb
- Floor: plywood, with lashing points along the side rails
- Ventilation: multiple passive air vents
- Grade: used, wind and watertight and cargo-worthy
Loads That Suit a Pallet-Wide 45ft Container
Pallet-wide is not marketing language; it is the difference between two Euro pallets fitting side by side cleanly or wedging. Over 45 feet that adds up to meaningful extra rows, which is why freight users reach for this size when the cargo is bulky rather than dense.
- Palletized consumer goods where cube, not weight, fills the box
- Machinery and oversized components moving by sea, rail, or road
- Long-term business storage that consolidates several smaller units
- Conversion projects needing maximum length before any partitioning
- Distribution buffers where lashing points keep loads restrained in transit
What to Check Before You Commit
Used containers vary, and the ones worth buying are the ones you have questions answered about. Ask about the floor condition, whether the doors close without persuasion, and whether a repaint is wanted — a used 45-footer often arrives in mixed livery, and a fresh coat is a straightforward addition. A lockbox can also be fitted before dispatch if security matters at your site, at additional cost. If you are new to grading, the container buying guide lays out the differences without jargon, and precise measurements for every size are on the specifications table. Other units this length sit in the 45ft container category, including the cargo-worthy 45ft high cube, and shorter alternatives are throughout the main catalog. Delivery is a flat $500 to all 50 states, scheduled once your order is confirmed and quoted by route.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between wind and watertight and cargo-worthy?
Wind and watertight describes a shell that keeps weather out and is fine for storage. Cargo-worthy is an assessed structural standard covering the frame, floor, doors, and seals, confirming the unit can be loaded and shipped internationally. Every cargo-worthy container is also wind and watertight, but plenty of watertight storage units would not pass the higher assessment.
Why choose a 45ft over a 40ft container?
Five more feet of floor and, in pallet-wide builds, extra internal width. If your loads are light and bulky, that is real capacity for a modest step up in price. If your site is tight or you plan to stack, a 40ft high cube is easier to place and far more widely handled at every port and depot.
Can the container be repainted before delivery?
Yes, a repainting service is available and is worth considering on a used unit, since second-hand containers vary in appearance and often carry previous operator markings. Specify the finish you want when you order so it can be scheduled before dispatch rather than arranged separately once the container is standing on your site.
