This unit is suited for operations requiring extra vertical clearance for tall equipment, racking systems, or voluminous cargo .

Key Features

• High cube configuration providing approximately 8 ft 10 in of interior height, one foot taller than standard containers 

• Corten steel construction for structural integrity and weather resistance 

• Marine-grade plywood flooring over steel cross-members

• Wind and watertight construction with fully functional doors and seals 

• Double cargo doors with steel locking bars and hasps

• Forklift pockets for ease of handling and repositioning 

• Corner castings for lifting and stacking compatibility

• Ventilation openings for airflow and moisture reduction

Detailed Description

This 40ft high cube container is constructed from Corten steel, a weathering steel grade that forms a stable protective layer when exposed to atmospheric conditions. This material provides structural integrity and resistance to corrosion, making the container suitable for extended outdoor placement .

The high cube configuration provides one foot of additional interior height compared to standard 40ft containers, increasing the interior volume to approximately 2,700 cubic feet . This extra height accommodates taller items, stacked pallets, and equipment requiring overhead clearance, and supports improved air circulation for stored materials .

Used containers of this grade have typically been in service for 10 to 15 years on international trade routes . They remain wind and watertight with structurally sound walls, floors, and roofs. Used units show expected signs of use including surface rust, dents, scratches, and faded paint, which do not affect weatherproofing or structural performance .

The floor system utilizes marine-grade plywood panels secured to steel cross-members, providing load-bearing capacity for palletized goods, machinery, and equipment. Double cargo doors with steel locking bars and hasps provide security. Corner castings at all eight corners enable lifting and stacking with standard handling equipment .
