Same footprint as a standard 40ft, one full foot taller. The high cube suits conversions, tall equipment, and commercial projects across Pennsylvania. Ask for a written quote with delivery details.
The "high cube" designation means 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 several grades, including used wind and water tight (WWT) and one-trip. See our condition guide for the differences.
That extra foot can help with overhead storage, lighting, and equipment, but finishes and insulation reduce the final headroom.

| Width | 8 ft 0 in (2.438 m) |
| Height | 9 ft 6 in (2.896 m) |
| Length | 39 ft 5 in (12.021 m) |
| Width | 7 ft 9 in (2.352 m) |

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.
High cube pricing depends on the grade, inventory and your delivery address. Request a written quote for the unit you need.
Pallet racking for the distribution yards along Interstate 78, Interstate 81 and Pennsylvania 33, where the extra foot of height can fit another level of racking.
Any build you intend to insulate and finish, which matters more in Pennsylvania than in a warm state, because the code's prescriptive numbers here are R-30 in a wall and R-60 in a ceiling and every inch of that is headroom you do not get back.
Powdered metal, precision machining and tooling shops around St. Marys, Ridgway and Johnsonburg storing dies, fixtures and raw powder drums off the plant floor.
Cement, aggregate and quarry operations through the Lehigh Valley, Berks County and the Cumberland Valley keeping screens, belting and parts close to the pit rather than back at a central shop.
Food and snack manufacturers around Hanover, York, Hershey and Lititz staging seasonal packaging, pallets and promotional stock upright rather than flat.
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.
