Do you want to build a home or an office using a shipping container? Does your business involve transporting or storing large or tall items? Keep reading to find out what High Cube Container has to offer!
This particular container that we’re going to discuss is very popular and can sell out quickly, especially the refurbished condition one. So, you may want to find out why it is so favorable.
To make it easier for you to visualize the advantages of this type of container, let’s compare it with the General Purpose (Standard) shipping container. See the pictures below. Do you able to tell any differences between those two containers?
If the answer is no, you’re not alone!
Now, we’ll put the same containers side by side, helping you to see the major difference between them.
Yup! Their only difference is the height.
The one on the left is General Purpose (Standard) shipping container while the one on the right is High Cube shipping container.
The Standard shipping container is 8.6′ tall while the High Cube container is 9.6′ tall. The width are the same which is 8′. And for the length, it depends on your choice. But, both has the same maximum capacity which is around 28.000 kg.
Check out this table below for the more detailed comparison regarding the dimension and capacity of those two type of containers.
| Type | Height | Width | Length Options | Max Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| High Cube | 9.6′ | 8′ | 20’/40’/45’/Pallet Wide 48′ | +/- 28.000 kg |
| General Purpose (Standard) | 8.6′ | 8′ | 20’/40’/45’/53′ | +/- 28.000 kg |
