40ft High Cube Shipping Containers
An extra foot of interior height for bulky, stacked, or oversized cargo — new and used 40ft High Cube containers delivered nationwide from Houston, TX.
More Headroom, Same Footprint
The 40ft High Cube container takes the standard 40ft footprint and adds one extra foot of height — 9ft 6in on the outside instead of 8ft 6in. That single foot makes a meaningful difference for anyone stacking cargo, running overhead electrical or HVAC in a conversion, or simply needing more breathing room inside the unit.
TAT Logistics stocks 40ft High Cube containers new (one-trip) and used, for sale or rent, delivered nationwide from our Houston, Texas headquarters. It's the size our modification and container office customers request most often, precisely because of the added interior clearance.
40ft High Cube Dimensions & Capacity
Condition Options
New (one-trip) High Cube containers arrive in near-pristine condition, ideal for conversions and branded structures where a clean, tall interior matters most.
Used High Cube containers (cargo-worthy or wind- and water-tight) offer the same extra headroom at a lower price point, with normal cosmetic wear that doesn't affect the seal or structure.
Who Chooses the High Cube
- Businesses converting a container into an office, studio, or living space
- Warehouses stacking pallets higher to maximize storage density
- Shippers moving oversized or irregularly shaped cargo
- Contractors needing headroom for standing equipment or racking
- Anyone modifying a container with overhead HVAC, ducting, or lighting runs

What Affects the Price of a 40ft High Cube container
Pricing on a 40ft High Cube container depends on a handful of factors: new versus used condition, current steel and freight market rates, how far the unit needs to travel from the nearest stocked location, and any add-ons like locking boxes or delivery-day placement requirements. Because container pricing shifts with market conditions, we don't publish fixed prices online — instead, every quote is put together based on current availability and your specific delivery location, so you get an accurate, all-in number rather than a rough estimate that changes at checkout.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a High Cube container different?
A High Cube container is one foot taller than a standard container — 9ft 6in tall on the outside instead of 8ft 6in — giving roughly 8ft 10in of usable interior height instead of 7ft 10in.
How much extra space does the High Cube add?
The extra foot of height adds about 300 cubic feet of usable volume compared to a standard 40ft container, useful for stacked pallets, tall equipment, or HVAC ducting in conversions.
Are High Cube containers good for container home or office conversions?
Yes — the added headroom makes High Cube units the preferred choice for office and living-space conversions, since it comfortably accommodates ceiling-mounted electrical, insulation, and HVAC without cramping interior height.
Will a High Cube container fit where a standard container fits?
In most cases yes, though the extra height should be confirmed against any low clearances (carports, overhangs, power lines) at the delivery site before scheduling.
Do you offer High Cube containers new and used?
Yes, both new (one-trip) and used cargo-worthy or wind- and water-tight High Cube units are available for sale or rent.
Can I rent a 40ft High Cube container?
Yes. Short- and long-term rental is available with delivery and pickup included — see our rental page for details.
