Same footprint as a standard 40ft, one full foot taller. The high cube suits conversions, tall equipment, and commercial projects across New York. Ask for a written quote with delivery details.
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.

The high cube door opening is also taller, 8 ft 5 in against 7 ft 5 in on a standard container. That matters when you are loading tall items.
High cube pricing depends on the grade, inventory and your delivery address. Request a written quote for the unit you need.
Any build you intend to insulate and finish, because closed cell foam on the walls and ceiling takes headroom you cannot get back in a standard 40ft.
Pallet racking and tall racked components for optics, precision and electronics manufacturers through Henrietta, Webster, DeWitt and East Syracuse.
Dairy and farm equipment yards that store upright: feed handling parts, fencing rolls, tubing and irrigation line that a standard box makes you lay down.
Packing house and cold chain overflow through the Wayne, Orleans and Niagara county fruit belt, where bins and pallets stack higher than a standard container allows.
Distribution operations along the Thruway corridor comparing both sizes should ask for both prices, because the price difference between a high cube and a standard 40ft varies by city and grade.
A high cube delivers on the same tilt-bed truck as a standard 40ft, and it needs the same room, with one extra foot of height to account for on the trailer.
