In detail
What is a first-trip 20 ft High Cube shipping container?
The 20 ft High Cube shipping container is the raised version of the maritime standard. "High Cube", noted 9'6", refers to a container 30 cm taller than a classic Dry: 2.89 m external height versus 2.59 m, with no change to the floor footprint. The term "first-trip" (also called one-trip) indicates a new unit, after a single positioning sea voyage.
Its usable capacity reaches 37.4 m³, 4.2 m³ more than a standard 20 ft, for a 13.7 m² footprint and a 28,130 kg payload. It's the go-to format when a standard 20 ft lacks height, with no need to move up to a 40 ft.
In detail
First-trip or used: how to choose?
A "first-trip" container is new: intact factory epoxy paint, original seals, no signs of use. A "used" container has already been in maritime service; it is graded by condition, "Cargo Worthy" (CW), still fit for international transport, or "Wind & Water Tight" (WWT), simply airtight and watertight.
First-trip is the right choice for a fit-out project or long-term use, where original condition matters. Used remains worthwhile for simple storage on a tighter budget.
Applications
Uses of a 20 ft High Cube shipping container
The new structure and the 9'6" height open up demanding uses where a classic Dry reaches its vertical limits.
The applications below show in which contexts this format is most relevant. Each use links the on-site need to the container's concrete benefit.
Highlights
Why buy a first-trip 20 ft High Cube shipping container
The new 20 ft High Cube meets a specific need: gaining vertical volume without changing the floor footprint or moving up to a 40 ft. The strengths below explain what the extra 30 cm of height concretely bring; volume, fit-out potential, factory condition.
The strengths below explain what each technical choice brings to the project. They help compare the product with a less specialized alternative or a different condition.
-
Vertically optimized volume
37.4 m³ usable, 4.2 m³ more than a standard 20 ft, with a strictly identical floor footprint. The gain is in height, without using more ground space.
-
9'6" height
2.69 m inside, enough to stack high or fit full insulation cladding while keeping a comfortable usable height. A standard 20 ft would lose this comfort once fitted out.
-
New condition
Intact factory epoxy paint, original seals, surfaces with no scratch or dent. This flawless condition is decisive for a fit-out, where the walls remain visible.
-
Compliant on delivery
The ISO 6346, ISO 1161 markings and the CSC plate are valid for 5 years. The unit heads into maritime use with no recertification, unlike a used unit.
-
Advanced locking
The container is compatible with high-security padlocks and ISO/PAS 17712 seals. Goods stay protected throughout a sealed shipment.
-
France-wide delivery
20 ft road transport is arranged everywhere, with unloading by crane truck or hydraulic arm depending on the site. Logistics are included in the quote.
