A high cube (HC) container is similar to a standard shipping container but features approximately one extra foot of internal height. This increased vertical capacity allows for more flexible storage solutions and greater volume, making high cube units popular for bulky cargo, storage conversions, and specialised applications.
High cube containers are suitable for a wide range of applications, including storing tall or oversized items, secure warehouse and site storage, freight and logistics requiring additional volume, workshop and conversion projects needing extra headroom, and archive or inventory storage.
Thanks to their increased internal height, high cube containers are particularly useful for businesses that require both secure storage and enhanced vertical capacity in a single, durable unit.
On The Commercial Trader, you’ll find a variety of high cube containers, including:
Each listing includes specifications for internal height and condition so you can easily compare equipment before making an enquiry.
High cube containers are typically more expensive than standard containers because they offer extra height and greater storage capacity. However, the additional space can make them a worthwhile investment, especially if you need to store or transport taller or bulkier items. In many cases, the ability to fit more cargo in a single container can reduce the number of shipments needed, potentially saving money over time.
The key difference between a standard 40ft container and a 40ft high cube (40HC) container is the height. A high cube container is about one foot taller, providing extra vertical space for taller items or higher stacking. Standard 40ft containers are usually more widely available and slightly more affordable, which can make them a practical choice for those working within a tighter budget.
