Benefits
Why a high cube
More vertical space
About 9 m³ extra for a 40 ft, for over-height pallets or tall items.
Ideal for conversions
Enough headroom remains after insulation and ceiling, for offices, workshops or living space.
Good cost per cubic metre
The extra volume comes at a small price difference over a standard container.
