40ft High Cube Containers
Our 40ft high cube containers stand 9 ft 6 in tall, one foot more than a standard box, while keeping the same 40 foot length and 8 foot width. That extra foot adds around 13 percent more internal volume, which is why high cubes are the first choice for tall cargo, racking, and any conversion where people will work or live inside.

High cubes are identified by a height code in their ISO 6346 size and type marking, usually 45G1 for a 40 foot dry high cube, and you will often see yellow and black hazard stripes on the top rail as a visual warning about the taller height.
When a high cube is worth it
Choose 40ft high cube containers when you need headroom for shelving, mezzanine racks, machinery or a finished ceiling with insulation. For plain storage of boxes and pallets, a standard height unit often does the job for a little less, so compare our 40ft standard containers before you decide. Our high cube vs standard container guide lays out the pros and cons side by side.
Other high cube options
If you need even more length, our 45ft high cube containers add five feet, and for shorter spaces the 20 foot high cubes sit in our 20ft shipping containers range. Planning a conversion? See our modified shipping containers for doors, windows and insulation.
Delivery tips
A 40ft high cube on a tilt-bed truck rises higher than a standard box during unloading, so check overhead wires and tree branches along the route and at the drop point. The shipping container delivery guide covers clearance and ground prep in detail. Ready to order one of our 40ft high cube containers? Get in touch for a quote.
