Same footprint as a standard 40ft, one full foot taller. The most versatile container for conversions, tall equipment, and commercial projects across Washington. Delivery included statewide.
The "high cube" designation means exactly one thing: the container is one foot taller than a standard ISO shipping container, also known as a conex box. That takes the exterior from 8 ft 6 in to 9 ft 6 in, and the usable interior ceiling from 7 ft 10 in to 8 ft 10 in. Available in used WWT and one-trip grades. See our condition guide for the differences.
One foot sounds modest. In practice it is transformative. In a standard container, someone over 6 feet tall is ducking slightly. In a high cube, the same person walks through freely with clearance to spare. Overhead storage is easier to reach, lighting can be mounted higher, and if you are building out an office or a living space, the ceiling height feels comfortable rather than cramped.
For container conversions of any kind, cabins, job site offices, workshops, the high cube is almost always the right starting point. The premium over a standard 40ft is modest next to the improvement in usability.
The high cube adds 12 inches of interior height, enough to make a real difference in comfort and usability.

The high cube door opening is also taller, 8 ft 5 in against 7 ft 5 in on a standard container. That matters when you are loading tall items.
Delivery included to your Washington address. Washington delivered pricing: starting at $2,889 for a 20ft Wind and Water Tight container delivered in Seattle. Price always includes delivery.
Pallet racking for aerospace suppliers, machine shops and distributors through Auburn, Kent, Frederickson and Spokane Valley, which order high cubes more often than anyone else in the state.
Any build you intend to insulate and finish, because a standard container is roughly 7 feet 8 inches wide inside and closed cell foam on the walls and ceiling takes headroom you cannot get back.
Hay, hop and barrel storage through the Yakima Valley, Walla Walla and the Columbia Basin, where the load is tall before it is heavy.
Data centre and heavy construction fit out around Quincy, Wenatchee and East Wenatchee, where every phase of the build needs staged material under cover.
Mill, log yard and reload operations around Longview and Kelso, Aberdeen, Hoquiam, Colville and Kettle Falls storing parts and tooling near the landing.
A high cube delivers on the same tilt-bed truck as a standard 40ft, and it needs the same room, with one extra foot of height to account for on the trailer.
