Description

High Cube Containers: An Overview

High cube containers are a popular type of shipping container that provides an additional foot of height compared to standard containers, offering increased storage capacity for oversized or bulky cargo.

 

Dimensions and Capacity

High cube containers are typically 40 feet in length, 8 feet in width, and 9 feet 6 inches in height, making them one foot taller than standard containers. This additional height provides a total internal volume of approximately 76 cubic meters, which is 13.3% more than standard containers.

 

Uses and Advantages

High cube containers are commonly used in the transportation of goods by sea, road, and rail due to their increased storage capacity. They are ideal for shipping larger items, such as machinery, vehicles, or building materials. The additional height also allows for more efficient use of space and can help reduce shipping costs by accommodating more cargo per container.

 

Construction and Durability

High cube containers are typically constructed of steel and have reinforced corners and walls to withstand the rigors of transportation. They are designed to withstand extreme weather conditions, including high winds and heavy rainfall, and are built to be stackable, allowing for efficient storage and transportation.
