Same footprint as a standard 40ft, one full foot taller. The most versatile container for conversions, tall equipment, and commercial projects across New York. Delivery included statewide.
The "high cube" designation means exactly one thing: the container is one foot taller than a standard ISO shipping container, also known as a conex box. That takes the exterior from 8 ft 6 in to 9 ft 6 in, and the usable interior ceiling from 7 ft 10 in to 8 ft 10 in. Available in used WWT and one-trip grades. See our condition guide for the differences.
One foot sounds modest. In practice it is transformative. In a standard container, someone over 6 feet tall is ducking slightly. In a high cube, the same person walks through freely with clearance to spare. Overhead storage is easier to reach, lighting can be mounted higher, and if you are building out an office or a living space, the ceiling height feels comfortable rather than cramped.
For container conversions of any kind, cabins, job site offices, workshops, the high cube is almost always the right starting point. The premium over a standard 40ft is modest next to the improvement in usability.
The high cube adds 12 inches of interior height, enough to make a real difference in comfort and usability.

The high cube door opening is also taller, 8 ft 5 in against 7 ft 5 in on a standard container. That matters when you are loading tall items.
Delivery included to your New York address. New York delivered pricing: starting at $2,886 for a 20ft Wind and Water Tight container delivered in Buffalo. Price always includes delivery.
Any build you intend to insulate and finish, which in this climate is most of them, because closed cell foam on the walls and ceiling takes headroom you cannot get back in a standard 40ft.
Pallet racking and tall racked components for the optics, precision and electronics supply base through Henrietta, Webster, DeWitt and East Syracuse.
Dairy and farm equipment yards that store upright: feed handling parts, fencing rolls, tubing and irrigation line that a standard box makes you lay down.
Packing house and cold chain overflow through the Wayne, Orleans and Niagara county fruit belt, where bins and pallets stack higher than a standard container allows.
Distribution tenants along the Thruway corridor who are pricing both sizes anyway, and should ask for both numbers, because the high cube does not always price above the standard 40ft in this state.
A high cube delivers on the same tilt-bed truck as a standard 40ft, and it needs the same room, with one extra foot of height to account for on the trailer.
