The 20ft High Cube shipping container takes the familiar 6.06m (20ft) footprint and adds 305mm (1ft) of height, lifting the external profile to 2.90m (9ft 6in) and giving roughly 2.69m of clear internal headroom. That extra volume — around 37m³ against 33m³ for a standard box — costs you nothing in ground space, which is why it is so often the better buy on a constrained site. Built from durable Corten steel with marine-grade plywood flooring and fully wind and watertight construction, it is ready for immediate storage use or for conversion.
Key Features
- Roughly 4m³ more usable volume than a standard 20ft container on an identical footprint
- 2.69m internal height, leaving comfortable standing room once insulation and a ceiling are fitted
- Durable Corten weathering steel with corrugated panels that resist denting and corrosion
- Marine-grade plywood floor bolted to steel cross-members, taking pallet trucks and heavy racking
- Wind and watertight double cargo doors with locking bars, cams and factory weather seals
- Hazmat-free, safety-screened units supplied clean and ready to load
- ISO corner castings for stacking, craning and secure lashing during transport

Delivery Across the UK
We arrange delivery throughout the UK and to overseas destinations on request. Do bear the extra 305mm in mind when planning access: gateways, archways, low branches and overhead cables all need checking before the lorry arrives. Our team will talk the route and standing through with you and, where a tilt-bed cannot get in, quote for a HIAB crane lift into position.
