Built from weathering steel (Corten steel) for intermodal transport, this 45-foot high cube shipping container provides greater cubic capacity than standard 40-foot units. It is engineered to endure harsh weather during transport and storage, and its extra length and added height make it useful across commercial, industrial, and storage applications. Each unit is manufactured to ISO standards for structural integrity and stackability, giving you a durable steel container for the secure transport or storage of cargo.
Key Features
- Extended 45-foot length provides additional floor space for oversized machinery or bulk goods.
- High cube design offers roughly one foot of extra vertical clearance over standard-height containers.
- Constructed from corrosion-resistant Corten steel for long-term durability.
- Plywood flooring is treated to resist moisture and support concentrated loads.
- Double rear doors swing open fully for unobstructed access.
- Corner castings are engineered for standard twistlock handling and secure stacking.
- Interior walls are corrugated steel panels for structural rigidity.
- Ventilation units are installed to reduce condensation during transit.
This forty-five-foot high cube container is fabricated from high-tensile weathering steel, commonly called Corten. The material forms a protective oxide layer when exposed to the elements, reducing the need for painting and limiting long-term corrosion. The floor is marine-grade plywood, both durable and treated to resist moisture ingress.
Its extended length accepts cargo that would not fit in a standard forty-foot unit, such as piping, timber, or production line equipment, while the added high cube height allows taller racking or vertical storage. All structural components, including side walls, roof panels, and cross members, are welded and riveted to established manufacturing protocols to keep torsional rigidity during lifting.
Access is through a pair of rear doors made from the same Corten steel as the body. They seal against weather-resistant gaskets and are secured by cam lock bars with protective housing, with the opening sized to the full width of the container for efficient palletized loading. Passive vents in the end panels promote airflow while keeping water out.
This container works as secure storage on construction sites, a transport module for international shipping lines, or a base structure for modification projects, and it is inspected for structural integrity, door function, and floor condition before delivery.

45ft High Cube Shipping Container for Sale: Five Extra Feet That Matter
Buyers usually find a 45ft high cube shipping container for sale after discovering that a 40-footer is just short of what they need. Those five extra feet, combined with high cube height, add roughly 340 cubic feet over a 40ft high cube, which is the difference between fitting a run of racking or a length of pipe and having to cut it down.
This is a used unit, so expect the surface rust and cosmetic dents that come with intermodal service. The structure, corner castings, and door seals are what carry the value at this size, not the paint.
Specifications at a Glance
- External dimensions: 45' x 8' x 9'6"
- Internal dimensions: approximately 44'5" x 7'8" x 8'10"
- Door opening: about 7'8" wide x 8'6" high
- Capacity: roughly 3,040 cubic feet, near 340 square feet of floor
- Tare weight: approximately 10,600 lb
- Condition: used, with cosmetic wear consistent with prior service
- Structure: weathering steel body, plywood deck, gooseneck tunnel in the understructure
- Delivery: flat $500 to all 50 states, prices are tax inclusive
When Extra Length Beats Buying a Second Container
Two 20-footers cost more to deliver, site, and secure than one long unit. The 45 makes sense whenever the contents are long or the yard has room for length but not width.
- Long material storage: pipe, conduit, trusses, lumber, and extrusions
- Bulk but light freight where you run out of volume long before weight
- Archive and records storage racked floor to ceiling along both walls
- Farm and ranch storage for implements, feed, and seasonal equipment
- Long-span conversions where an uninterrupted interior run is the point
Delivering and Siting a 45-Foot Unit
Length is the constraint. A tilt-bed drop wants the container length plus about 40 feet of straight, firm approach, which puts you near 85 feet of clear run, plus roughly 15 feet of overhead clearance. Confirm the turn into your property before ordering, because a 45 cannot pivot the way a 20 can. Review the rest of the 45ft container category and the wider used container selection, compare it to the heavy-duty 45ft units, and check exact figures in our specification reference.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much more space is this than a 40ft high cube?
Roughly 340 cubic feet, or about 13 percent more volume, and five extra feet of floor length. For storage measured in pallets it is close to two more pallet positions per side. If your limitation is length of individual items rather than total volume, that difference is the whole reason to buy a 45.
Is a 45ft harder to deliver than a 40ft?
It is less forgiving. The truck needs a longer straight run and a wider turn, and some residential streets simply do not work. We quote delivery by route after the order is confirmed, so tell us about tight approaches, low branches, or soft ground before you buy.
Can I still move it later?
Yes, with the right equipment. It has standard corner castings and a gooseneck tunnel for chassis transport. Hauling any 45-foot unit on public roads requires appropriate equipment and route planning, which is exactly why we price haulage per route rather than as a flat national figure for repositioning.
