Same footprint as a standard 40ft, one full foot taller. The high cube suits conversions, tall equipment, and commercial projects across Virginia. 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.

Pallet racking for distribution and supplier yards along Interstate 95 and Route 288, where the extra foot of height adds room for racking.
Any build you intend to insulate and finish, because closed cell foam bonded to the steel takes headroom you cannot get back in a standard 40ft.
Data center construction storage around Ashburn and Sterling, holding tall cable reels, switchgear crates and racking upright through a long fit-out.
Poultry operations across Rockingham County around Broadway, Timberville, Dayton and Bridgewater keeping feed, bedding and equipment dry between houses.
Orchard and vineyard storage around Winchester, Charlottesville and Loudoun, where bins, barrels and harvest equipment can be stacked.
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.
