40ft Used High Cube Storage Containers
40ft used high cube storage containers offer maximum internal space for secure, wind and watertight storage where shipping or export approval is not required. With extra height and a large footprint, they are ideal for bulk storage, workshops, site use, and conversion projects.
What is a 40ft high cube storage container?
A 40ft high cube storage container is built to ISO dimensions but supplied for static storage use only. These containers stand 9ft 6in high, providing extra internal headroom compared to standard-height units.
They are not supplied with a CSC plate for shipping, making them unsuitable for export. However, they remain structurally sound, secure, and designed to withstand long-term outdoor use.
Why choose a high cube container for storage?
A high cube container is ideal if you need:
- Extra internal height for tall or stacked items
- Maximum storage volume within a single unit
- Improved usability for workshops or conversions
- Better airflow and working space
Compared to standard-height containers, a high cube offers more flexibility for storage-heavy applications.
Typical uses
40ft used high cube storage containers are commonly used for:
- Bulk commercial and industrial storage
- Construction site storage
- Workshops and fabrication spaces
- Farm and agricultural storage
- Archive and document storage
- Conversion projects where shipping approval is not required
They are particularly popular where internal headroom matters more than export compliance.
Container specifications

Customisation and upgrades

- Full repaint in any RAL colour
- Internal lining and insulation
- Racking and shelving systems
- Condensation prevention
- Electrics, lighting, and heating
- Windows, doors, and roller shutters
These units are a popular base for workshops, storage hubs, and conversion projects.
Delivery and site access considerations
Delivery of a 40ft high cube container requires suitable access.
Typical requirements include:
- Clear access for large delivery vehicles
- Firm, level ground for offloading
- Adequate turning space and overhead clearance
High cube containers are taller than standard units, so overhead clearance is especially important.
