High Cube Shipping Containers for Hire & Sale

High cube containers are built to the same ISO footprint as standard shipping containers - available in 20ft and 40ft - but with an internal height of approximately 2.70m (8ft 10in), compared to around 2.39m in a standard unit. This makes them particularly well suited for cargo or stored goods that require more vertical clearance.

The added height also improves airflow within the container, which is beneficial for perishable goods or temperature-sensitive products. High cube containers can be fitted with cooling or temperature-control systems, and lashing rings rated to 1,000 kg are installed along the upper longitudinal sections for securing hanging garment equipment or tall loads. A steel floor is available on request.

High cube containers are used across a wide range of industries including construction, manufacturing, retail, healthcare, self-storage, agriculture, education, sports, oil and gas, and offshore. They are equally suited to conversion projects where additional internal headroom is a key requirement.

• Tall cargo storage: Store long structural components, tall pipes, oversized items, and machinery that cannot fit in a standard-height container.
• Household and furniture storage: Ideal for storing tall furniture, wardrobes, beds, and domestic goods where a standard container would be too restrictive.
• Temperature-controlled storage: The extra height allows for easier installation of cooling or refrigeration systems, making it suitable for perishable or temperature-sensitive goods.
• Hanging garment logistics: Lashing rings along the upper rails allow garment equipment to be suspended - a popular option in retail and fashion logistics.
• Agricultural storage: Store tall equipment, baled goods, or bulky farm supplies with more convenient access and better ventilation.
• Container conversions: High cube containers are a popular choice for offices, workshops, and bespoke builds where additional internal headroom improves usability.
• Healthcare and pharmaceutical storage: The improved airflow and ability to fit climate-control systems makes high cube units well suited for medical or lab storage.
