High Cube
Standard shipping containers are ideal for basic storage or cargo however, if you require more height, high-cube containers are the best option. These containers offer more headroom of a foot but still maintain the standard width and length dimensions.
This allows them to easily fit under standard height clearances for storage or transport, making it easier to move the container around. They are also perfect for making modifications such as the office or housing area where an extra foot of headroom can be crucial.
The extra height enables you to store higher-height equipment without having it laid flat. Furthermore, they can carry more weight than standard containers, making them a better option for heavier cargo or items that require a little more space in the upper area.
High cube containers have some disadvantages, despite their many advantages. They can cost more to transport and are more expensive than regular containers. The additional height makes it difficult to stack and maneuver which could be problematic for certain projects and sites. When deciding if a high-cube container is suitable for you, it's crucial to consider your site and transportation requirements.
