Same footprint as a standard 40ft, one full foot taller. The high cube suits conversions, tall equipment, and commercial projects across Michigan. 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.

High cube pricing depends on the grade, inventory and your delivery address. Request a written quote for the unit you need.
Pallet racking in the tier one and tier two supplier yards around Detroit, Warren, Sterling Heights, Lansing and Grand Rapids, where the racks are tall and the extra foot of height is what makes them work.
Any build you intend to insulate and finish, because in Michigan the insulation has to touch the steel everywhere, and closed cell foam on the walls and ceiling takes headroom you cannot get back in a standard 40ft.
Distribution and logistics operations along I-94, I-96 and I-75, staging freight upright rather than flat.
Office furniture and precision component storage across Kent, Ottawa and Allegan counties, holding raw stock and finished goods at the plant fence line.
Machine shops, tool and die operations and fabricators keeping tooling, fixtures and stock close to the equipment rather than back at the shop.
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.
