A high cube container is 1 foot taller than a standard container (9’6” vs. 8’6”), offering more vertical space for bulkier goods or conversions.
Yes! Many people repurpose containers for storage, offices, workshops, cafés, pop-up shops, and even homes due to their durability and flexibility.
It depends on what you plan to store or transport. A 20ft is great for smaller loads or tight spaces, while a 40ft suits large volumes. For tall or bulky items, a high cube may be the best option. Our team can help you select the right fit.
