10ft High Cube Shipping Container
An extra 300 mm of height can make a surprisingly large difference when storage space is restricted. Our 10ft High Cube Shipping Container keeps the short footprint of a 10ft unit while raising the roofline to approximately 2.9 metres, creating additional vertical capacity without taking up more ground area.
That taller profile opens up storage possibilities that a standard-height 10ft container cannot handle as efficiently. Shelving can extend further upward, taller equipment has additional clearance, and businesses can make better use of sites where expanding horizontally isn’t practical.
The unit is built around a heavy-duty steel frame with corrugated wall panels and marine-grade flooring. At the access end, full-width cargo doors use locking rods and robust rubber seals to secure the enclosure against normal external weather exposure.
Supplied in new/one-trip condition, this is also a strong starting platform for projects where appearance matters or where the container will later receive internal fit-outs, electrical work, shelving or other modifications.

More Capacity Without a Longer Container
The key advantage isn’t simply that the container looks taller.
When floor space is expensive or restricted, using the vertical dimension allows more storage capacity to be extracted from essentially the same site footprint as a conventional 10ft unit.
For businesses using racking or shelving, that additional headroom can be particularly valuable.
A Useful Base for Conversion Projects
High-cube dimensions also provide more freedom when the container is being modified.
Ceiling insulation, lighting, electrical services or internal linings consume some available headroom. Starting with a taller shell helps preserve usable interior height after those additions are installed.
