Overview
A 40ft high cube shipping container offers the highest volume option in our range.
With 8ft 9in of internal height and almost double the floor space of a 20ft model, it’s the ideal solution for tall, bulky, or high-volume cargo. Often used on construction sites, industrial yards, and logistics depots, the 40ft high cube provides reliable protection in challenging environments. The increased headroom makes it a smart choice for palletised goods, machinery, or large stock inventories that need dry, secure storage with room to manoeuvre.
It’s also a popular base for conversions, where usable space and standing height are a priority, whether you're installing lighting, partitions, or insulation.
