40FT High Cube Used Shipping Container

An extra foot of interior height is what separates this unit from a standard 40-foot box. At 9’6”, the high cube adds cubic capacity without adding ground footprint, which is what makes it work for bulkier storage, double-stacked pallets and oversized goods that will not fit a standard ISO container. Construction is CORTEN anti-corrosive steel over a 19-ply marine-grade plywood floor. Structural inspection comes before dispatch, and certifies each container wind and water tight, cargo-worthy and ISO-compliant. Units go out to storage, freight, site staging and modified-use projects.

Key Features

• Size: 40ft high cube
• Condition: used, 10–14 years old, structurally sound
• Construction: CORTEN steel exterior
• Doors: dual cargo doors on lockable cam handles
• Ventilation: weatherproof passive vents for air circulation
• Flooring: 28mm thick, 19-ply marine-grade plywood
• Certifications: wind and water tight, cargo-worthy, ISO standard
• Surface condition: rust, scrapes or minor dents may be present, cosmetic only

Usability, sealing integrity and structural reliability are all covered by the full inspection every unit receives.

Pre-Release Structural Inspection

Units are drawn from active shipping fleets or from depot storage, then inspected before release. The inspection covers:

• ISO frame: compliant in full with transport and stacking requirements
• Roof and sidewalls: verified against stacking load, with no breaches or deformities
• Flooring: checked for softness, delamination and structural strength
• Doors and locking gear: fully functional, closing securely and sealed
• Gaskets: every door seal water-tight and pliable
• Vents: operational, regulating airflow and controlling humidity

The container leaves export-ready and built to take years of commercial or static service.

Suitable Applications

Construction and contracting

Secure jobsite storage for scaffolding, tools, safety gear and long-form equipment. High interior clearance leaves room to stand up inside and to fit overhead racks.

Manufacturing and fabrication

Holds raw materials, stages outbound freight, or becomes a mobile work zone built around elevated storage configurations.

Logistics and warehousing

Takes overflow freight, cross-docking and temporary holding of bulk inventory. Transport flexibility follows from the ISO certification.

Agriculture and land use

Shields seed, feed, fertilizer and crop yield from UV exposure, pests and rain. The reinforced floor carries heavy machinery.

Retail and commercial operations

Applied to static business storage, seasonal inventory holding, and lot-based secure space at retail or service properties.

Condition Assurance

Before release, every unit is confirmed cargo-worthy, certified wind and water tight, and put through a 12-point structural inspection. That checklist takes in corner post strength and stacking compliance, floorboard testing, door alignment and lock function, roofline inspection, vent and seal integrity, and the structural soundness of the exterior and frame.

Cosmetic rust or minor dents on the exterior are typical at this age and leave structural performance uncompromised.
