Same footprint as a standard 40ft, one full foot taller. The most versatile container for conversions, tall equipment, and commercial projects across Pennsylvania. Delivery included statewide.
The "high cube" designation means exactly one thing: 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 used WWT and one-trip grades. See our condition guide for the differences.
One foot sounds modest. In practice it is transformative. In a standard container, someone over 6 feet tall is ducking slightly. In a high cube, the same person walks through freely with clearance to spare. Overhead storage is easier to reach, lighting can be mounted higher, and if you are building out an office or a living space, the ceiling height feels comfortable rather than cramped.
For container conversions of any kind, cabins, job site offices, workshops, the high cube is almost always the right starting point. The premium over a standard 40ft is modest next to the improvement in usability.
The high cube adds 12 inches of interior height, enough to make a real difference in comfort and usability.

| Width | 8 ft 0 in (2.438 m) |
| Height | 9 ft 6 in (2.896 m) |

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.
Delivery included to your Pennsylvania address. Pennsylvania delivered pricing: starting at $2,157 for a 20ft Wind and Water Tight container delivered in Philadelphia. Price always includes delivery.
Pallet racking for the distribution yards along Interstate 78, Interstate 81 and Pennsylvania 33, where the extra foot of height is what makes the racking work.
Any build you intend to insulate and finish, which matters more in Pennsylvania than in a warm state, because the code's prescriptive numbers here are R-30 in a wall and R-60 in a ceiling and every inch of that is headroom you do not get back.
Powdered metal, precision machining and tooling shops around St. Marys, Ridgway and Johnsonburg storing dies, fixtures and raw powder drums off the plant floor.
Cement, aggregate and quarry operations through the Lehigh Valley, Berks County and the Cumberland Valley keeping screens, belting and parts close to the pit rather than back at a central shop.
Food and snack manufacturers around Hanover, York, Hershey and Lititz staging seasonal packaging, pallets and promotional stock upright rather than flat.
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.
