      High Cube ; Extra height

      What is a High Cube container?

      A High Cube container, often abbreviated HC, matches a standard Dry container in every way: same length, same width, the same Corten steel, the same standardised lifting corners. Only one dimension changes: the height. The HC stands 2.896 m overall height versus 2.591 m for a standard Dry, approximately 30 cm more.

      These 30 cm translate into nearly one cubic metre of extra usable volume on a 20-foot unit, and considerably more on a 40-foot. This is a decisive gain for voluminous but lightweight cargo that hits the height limit before reaching the weight limit — a standard container would then be transporting wasted air under the roof.

      The extra height also makes the High Cube the most sought-after conversion base. With an interior height of nearly 2.70 m, it allows space for a technical false ceiling, insulation, and floor finish while maintaining comfortable headroom — something a standard container, once converted, does not provide.

      • Extra height

        2.896 m overall height, versus 2.591 m for a standard Dry container. These extra 30 cm are gained without changing the length or width — the unit remains as manageable and transportable as a standard container.
      • Voluminous, lightweight cargo

        The HC is designed for goods that take up volume without weighing much — foam, textiles, furniture, packaging. They reach the container's height well before its load limit: the extra 30 cm avoid transporting wasted air.
      • Comfortable conversion

        The interior height of nearly 2.70 m allows insulation, a technical false ceiling, and floor finish to be integrated while maintaining genuine headroom. It is the reference format for converting a container into a livable office, home, or workshop.
      • ISO standard

        Despite its height, the High Cube retains standard ISO lifting corners and fittings. It stacks, secures, and is handled throughout the maritime, rail, and road chain exactly like a standard container.

      In detail

      What is a first-trip 45 ft High Cube shipping container?

      The 45 ft High Cube shipping container is the largest standard format in maritime transport: 13.72 m long and 2.89 m external height. "High Cube", noted 9'6", refers to its increased height. The term "first-trip" (also called one-trip) indicates a new unit, after a single positioning voyage before sale.

      It offers 86.5 m³ usable, 10 m³ more than a 40 HC, for a barely longer footprint. Favored on trans-Pacific and Asia-North America routes, the 45 HC handles both European and American palletized loads with no break of load; no intermediate transshipment.

      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. Used remains relevant for very large-volume storage on a controlled budget.

      Applications

      Uses of a 45 ft High Cube shipping container

      The 45 ft HC format targets large-scale logistics operations, where a 40 ft reaches its length or volume 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.

      • Trans-continental logistics

        Suited to American intermodal chains and Asia-Europe flows, able to absorb full loads of North American pallets.

      • Maximum industrial storage

        86.5 m³ of sealed space for raw materials, long equipment or large-scale buffer stock.

      • Large-project modular construction

        Extended length for multi-module living quarters, spacious workshops or long dwellings with no structural break.

      • Event fit-out

        Large-capacity pop-up shop, mobile exhibition or site canteen, with a comfortable ceiling height.

      Highlights

      Why buy a first-trip 45 ft High Cube shipping container

      The new 45 ft High Cube is the largest format in the ISO maritime standard: 86.5 m³ usable, 10 m³ more than a 40 HC. The strengths below explain what this record volume and this trans-continental compatibility concretely bring to large-scale logistics operations.

      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.

      • Maximum volume in the standard

        86.5 m³ usable, the largest volume in the classic ISO container market. No standard format carries more in a single unit.

      • Extended intermodal compatibility

        The 45 ft is authorized on American trans-continental routes and remains accessible on global shipping chains. It handles both European and North American pallets.

      • 9'6" height

        2.69 m inside, enough to optimize vertical loading and carry out comfortable fit-out projects. The height adds to the record length.

      • New condition

        Intact factory epoxy paint, structure with no marks, original rubber seals. This new condition guarantees perfect watertightness from the first load.

      • Compliant on delivery

        The ISO 6346, ISO 1161 markings and the CSC plate are valid for 5 years. The unit heads directly into international use, with no recertification.

      • Advanced security

        The container is compatible with ISO/PAS 17712 seals and anti-cut housings. Goods stay protected throughout a secure shipment.

      Applications

      What is the price of a first-trip 45 ft High Cube shipping container

      The new 45 HC belongs to a niche segment of maritime trade: its price depends on a volatile global market, where supply remains more limited than for the 20 or 40 ft.

      Four parameters drive these variations:

      The factors below explain why the price can vary from one quote to another. They help you read a quote by distinguishing the product price, availability, and delivery costs.

      • Shipping demand

        The 45 ft is concentrated on long-haul routes; a spike in trans-Pacific activity immediately reduces the supply available for sale.

      • Logistics bottlenecks

        As this format is less common, port congestion or a geopolitical event quickly makes it hard to source.

      • Corten steel cost

        The extra length increases material per unit, which amplifies the impact of steel market prices on the price.

      • Downstream costs

        45 ft road transport requires a specific lowboy vehicle; fuel and travel permits weigh more heavily than on smaller formats.
