Same footprint as a standard 40ft, one full foot taller. The most versatile container for conversions, tall equipment, and commercial projects across Alabama. 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.

Delivery included to your Alabama address. Alabama delivered pricing: starting at $2,279 for a 20ft Wind and Water Tight container delivered in Mobile. Price always includes delivery.
Any Alabama buyer comparing a like-new 40, because in all three cities the 40ft high cube One-Trip currently prices below the 40ft standard height, and in Huntsville the high cube Wind and Water Tight does too.
Pallet racking for supplier yards around the assembly plants at Vance, Lincoln, Montgomery and west Huntsville.
Any build you intend to insulate and finish, because closed cell foam on the walls and ceiling takes headroom you cannot get back in a standard 40ft.
Aerospace and defense program storage around Redstone Arsenal and Cummings Research Park, where tooling and ground support equipment stand tall.
Cast pipe, steel and fabrication shops in Jefferson County and at Calvert storing stock and tooling upright at the fence line.
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.
