Same footprint as a standard 40ft, one full foot taller. The high cube suits conversions, tall equipment, and commercial projects across South Carolina. 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.
Pallet racking for the automotive and tire supplier yards around Greer, Ridgeville, Ladson, Sumter and Richburg, where the extra foot of height gives racking more room.
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.
Distribution and logistics operations along the I-85 and I-26 corridors and around the inland ports at Greer and Dillon, staging freight upright rather than flat.
Raw stock and finished goods storage for advanced materials and nonwovens plants across Greenville, Spartanburg, Laurens and Cherokee counties.
Parts and tooling storage close to the equipment yard, rather than back at the shop, for timber, quarry and industrial operations across the Pee Dee and the Sandhills.
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.
