Standard 40ft containers offer 8 feet 6 inches of height. The Used 40Ft High Cube Shipping Container gives you significantly more. This unit stands 9 feet 6 inches tall, providing a full extra foot of vertical space . You gain approximately 15% more storage capacity without increasing your footprint.

The extra height makes a dramatic difference. Tall equipment stands upright with room to spare. Stack materials higher to maximize valuable floor space. Add shelving systems that utilize the full vertical capacity. The 40ft length provides approximately 2,698 cubic feet of usable storage volume . This capacity proves ideal for warehouse overflow, inventory storage, and large-scale projects.

This container comes from retired shipping service after typically 10-15 years of international transport . These units have spent years crossing oceans, stacked high on ships, and handling harsh marine environments. That history proves their durability. Used containers typically show signs of wear—minor dents, scuffs, and surface rust are common. These marks add character and prove the container’s rugged history.

Understanding Used Container Grades

Used containers come in several condition grades. Knowing the difference helps you choose the right unit for your needs :

• Wind & Water Tight (WWT): These units have been verified leak-free and weatherproof. They may show cosmetic wear but guarantee your contents stay dry. This grade represents the best value for general storage applications.

• Cargo Worthy (CW): These containers pass inspection for international shipping. They meet strict structural requirements and carry valid CSC certification. You can use them for ocean transport, rail, or trucking .

• AS-IS: These units represent the lowest cost option. They may have cosmetic or mechanical defects. We recommend them only for projects where appearance and full weatherproofing don’t matter .

We inspect each Used 40Ft High Cube Shipping Container individually. Our quality assurance process verifies structural integrity, door and lock functionality, and weatherproof seal testing . You receive a unit that meets its stated grade and performs as expected.
