What Makes It Different

One Extra Foot of Height

The "high cube" designation means the container is one foot taller than a standard ISO shipping container, also known as a conex box. That takes the exterior from 8 ft 6 in to 9 ft 6 in, and the usable interior ceiling from 7 ft 10 in to 8 ft 10 in. Available in several grades, including used wind and water tight (WWT) and one-trip. See our condition guide for the differences.

That extra foot can help with overhead storage, lighting, and equipment, but finishes and insulation reduce the final headroom.
