12.2m (40ft) High Cube Shipping Container (One-Trip New / Cargo Worthy)
The 12.2m (40ft) High Cube Shipping Container is the premier choice when you require maximum volumetric capacity and extra vertical clearance. Standing 2.90m (9 feet 6 inches) tall, this container provides an additional 30 centimeters (1 foot) of interior height over standard 8ft 6in dry vans, making it the preferred standard for transporting bulky, tall, or lightweight palletized cargo, as well as converting into custom site offices, workshops, or modular spaces.
Engineered from high-strength, anti-corrosive Corten steel, the High Cube unit features a heavy-duty corrugated roof and wall structure designed to withstand severe ocean environments, heavy stacking, and extreme weather. It is equipped with full 270-degree opening double rear doors featuring multi-lip EPDM rubber weather gaskets, a factory-welded security lockbox, and a solid 28mm marine-grade plywood floor. Whether utilized for international intermodal logistics or secure on-site storage, the 12.2m High Cube delivers unmatched space and reliability.
