A High Cube container is a taller version of the standard model, offering an additional 30 cm in height. Its external height therefore increases from 2.59 m to 2.89 m, whilst retaining the same floor dimensions. This difference results in an internal volume that is approximately 15 per cent larger, a significant advantage, particularly for 40-foot containers (12 m long).
Description
What does ‘High Cube’ mean?
A High Cube container is a taller version of the standard model, offering an extra 30 cm in height. Its external height thus increases from 2.59 m to 2.89 m, whilst retaining the same floor dimensions. This difference results in an interior volume that is approximately 15 per cent larger, a significant advantage, particularly for 40-foot containers (12 m long).
Thanks to this extra height, the High Cube is ideal for storing tall goods or for fit-out projects requiring a higher ceiling, without increasing the floor space required.
Is the 40-foot High Cube container new?
The 40-foot High Cube container is not strictly new: it is described as ‘first-voyage’. This means it has been used only once, usually to transport a consignment from its place of manufacture to Europe. This single journey allows for optimised logistics whilst maintaining an impeccable, virtually new condition.
Its structure is intact, it has been recently painted, its floor is clean and solid, and it is completely watertight.
What can be stored in a High Cube container?
With an internal volume of approximately 76 m³, the 40-foot High Cube container offers one of the largest storage spaces available in the maritime range.
