20ft New One Trip High Cube Shipping Containers
20ft new one trip high cube shipping containers provide extra internal height without increasing the footprint. Standing 9ft 6in tall, they offer increased cubic capacity, easier loading, and improved usability for storage, shipping, and container conversions.
What is a 20ft high cube shipping container?
A 20ft high cube shipping container is manufactured to the same ISO specification as a standard container but is 1ft taller, standing at 9ft 6in (2.9m) externally.
This additional height provides:
- Increased internal volume
- Improved door clearance
- Easier loading of tall or bulky items
High cube containers are available in 20ft and 40ft lengths and are widely used where standard height containers are restrictive.
One-trip condition explained
Our 20ft high cube one trip containers have completed a single cargo journey into the UK. They have not been used on domestic hire fleets and are supplied in near-new condition.
This means:
- Minimal cosmetic wear
- Longest possible lifespan
- Strong resale value
- Ideal base for conversions
All units are CSC plated, wind and watertight, and built to full ISO standards.
Why choose a 20ft high cube over standard height?

Benefits include:
- Approximately 15% extra load capacity
- Increased door height for easier access
- Improved forklift loading
- Better suitability for tall equipment
They are particularly popular in construction, logistics, and conversion projects.
