High Cube Design
The high cube configuration provides approximately one foot of additional exterior height compared with a standard-height 40ft container.
With approximately 8’10” of interior height, the additional vertical clearance provides more room for tall equipment, stacked goods, shelving, machinery, building materials, and other items requiring additional headroom.
The increased height also makes high cube containers popular as starting structures for workshops, equipment enclosures, and other container modification projects.
As-Is Condition
This container is sold as is and has previously been in commercial service.
As-is containers may show significant signs of previous use, including:
- Dents and scratches
- Surface rust and corrosion
- Faded, worn, or mismatched paint
- Shipping or identification markings
- Previous patches or repairs
- Floor wear or staining
- Door and hardware wear
- Seal wear
- Other cosmetic or functional imperfections associated with previous service
Condition varies from one container to another.
Unlike containers specifically sold under a higher condition grade, customers should not assume that an as-is container is free from holes, leaks, damaged seals, difficult door operation, or other defects unless those characteristics have been specifically confirmed for the individual unit.
Customers requiring a particular structural, floor, door, or water-resistance condition should contact Y-Containers before ordering.

The container is constructed primarily from heavy-duty Cor-ten steel with corrugated steel walls and a reinforced structural frame.
