Standard vs High-Cube
Standard-height containers are 8′ 6″ tall outside (about 7′ 10″ inside). High-cube units are 9′ 6″ outside (about 8′ 10″ inside) on the same footprint. Choose high-cube when you need tall racking, plan interior finishing that consumes headroom, or store tall equipment. Browse high-cube containers.
