45ft High Cube Containers
45ft high cube containers are the longest boxes in regular ocean service. They are five feet longer than a 40 foot unit and share the 9 ft 6 in high cube height, giving shippers and storage users the most volume per container. If none are listed below, ask us about availability, as this size is sourced to order.

Who buys 45ft high cube containers?
- Shippers moving light but bulky goods, where volume matters more than weight.
- Businesses that want one long secure store instead of two smaller boxes.

Things to check first
