Common Uses

Conversions & Builds

A full foot of extra headroom makes the High Cube the easiest 40ft to convert into a home, office, or studio — room for insulation, ceiling finishes, and lighting without losing standing height.

Tall & Stacked Storage

The extra 9'6" exterior height clears tall equipment, racking, and stacked pallets that won't fit a standard 40ft — ~2,694 cubic feet versus 2,390.

Maximum Cubic Capacity

Same footprint as the standard 40ft, but the added height yields the most cubic capacity we offer — the right call when you're paying for volume, not floor space.

Pricing

We don't post fixed prices — steel and freight costs change weekly, and a real number matters more than a stale one on a webpage.
