The 45ft High Cube Shipping Container provides additional cargo and storage capacity compared with standard 40ft containers.

Its extended 45ft length provides additional floor space for compatible cargo, equipment, machinery, inventory, and materials, while the High Cube configuration provides increased vertical clearance.

The container is constructed from weathering steel and features standard container corner castings, cargo doors, plywood flooring, and passive ventilation. The reference configuration is designed for intermodal handling and can be used for freight, storage, and conversion applications.

This container can be a practical solution for businesses that need additional storage or cargo capacity without moving to a permanent building expansion.

Extended 45ft Length

The 45ft configuration provides additional floor space compared with a standard 40ft container.

The extra length can be useful for:

• Large equipment
• Machinery
• Palletized cargo
• Construction materials
• Commercial inventory
• Agricultural equipment
• Industrial components
• Container conversion projects

Customers should confirm the available delivery space before ordering because the 45ft length requires more room for transportation and placement than shorter containers.

High Cube Design

The High Cube configuration provides additional vertical clearance.

This can be beneficial for:

• Taller equipment
• Palletized goods
• Shelving
• Storage racks
• Machinery
• Workshop installations
• Office conversions

The reference product specifies an external height of approximately 9ft 6in and an internal height of approximately 8ft 10in.

Steel Construction

The reference configuration uses Corten weathering steel, commonly used in shipping-container construction for its durability and resistance to environmental exposure.

The steel exterior is designed for demanding transportation and storage environments.

Normal surface characteristics may vary depending on the container’s condition, age, handling history, and environment.

Cargo Doors

The container features rear cargo doors designed to provide broad access to the interior.

The reference configuration specifies an approximate:

• Door opening width: 7ft 8in
• Door opening height: 8ft 5in

The wide opening can make loading and unloading pallets, equipment, and other compatible cargo easier.

Flooring

The reference configuration includes marine-grade plywood flooring.

The flooring is designed for cargo and storage applications, but customers should verify the actual floor condition and load requirements for a specific used unit.

Heavy equipment should be loaded according to appropriate weight-distribution and handling procedures.

ISO-Compatible Handling

The reference product includes standard container corner castings intended for lifting and handling.

These features can facilitate handling using appropriate container-handling equipment.

However, customers should verify the actual container’s certification and handling requirements before using it for international or intermodal transportation.

ISO-compatible construction does not by itself guarantee that an individual container currently holds every certification required for international shipping.

Ventilation

The reference configuration includes passive ventilation.

Ventilation can help reduce condensation inside the container during storage and transportation.

Passive ventilation should not be treated as a substitute for specialized ventilation required for chemicals, fuels, flammable materials, or other regulated products.
