New 45ft High Cube Shipping Container

When maximum dry-storage capacity matters, our New 45ft High Cube Shipping Container gives businesses substantially more room without needing multiple smaller units.

Its 13.7-metre body combines an extended footprint with the 9’6” High Cube profile, creating approximately 85.7 m³ of internal volume. The additional headroom is especially valuable for tall racking, bulky equipment, palletised stock and conversion projects.

A clean one-trip interior, Cor-Ten steel shell, hardwood timber floor and full-width cargo doors make this container well suited to warehouses, construction operations, agricultural businesses and high-volume commercial storage.

For buyers who have reached the limits of a 40ft High Cube, the 45ft format provides another 1.5 metres of length while retaining a familiar container footprint and handling format.

Technical Specifications

Where This Container Excels

Rather than positioning this as another generic storage container, this model is aimed at operations where usable cubic capacity is the priority.

It works particularly well for:

• High-volume business inventory

• Tall warehouse racking

• Palletised goods

• Oversized machinery and equipment

• Building materials

• Mining and infrastructure equipment

• Agricultural supplies

• Manufacturing stock

• Furniture and bulky goods

• Long materials

• Commercial fit-outs

• Large workshops

• Site-office conversions

• Modular building projects

45ft High Cube vs 40ft High Cube

The advantage isn’t simply another five feet of container length.

A 45ft High Cube offers approximately 85.7 m³ of internal space compared with approximately 76.4 m³ for a typical 40ft High Cube—roughly 12% additional internal volume.  

That extra capacity can make a meaningful difference for businesses working with high-volume stock, racking systems or bulky equipment.

Customisation

The generous internal dimensions also make the 45ft High Cube an excellent base for larger conversion projects.

Available options can include:

• Personnel access doors

• Windows

• Roller doors

• Electrical systems

• LED lighting

• Power outlets

• Industrial shelving

• Pallet racking

• Insulation

• Internal wall lining

• Air conditioning

• Partition walls

• Security screens

• Additional ventilation

• Custom exterior finishes

Colour

Stock colours can vary according to availability.

For this product’s six images, I recommend BLUE. It differentiates the new 45ft High Cube visually from the dark-green used 30ft product we just completed.
