40ft High Cube Shipping Container
The 40ft High Cube shipping container is the world's most used container type for voluminous goods. With 2.90 meters internal height and 76 cubic meters cargo space, it offers 27% more volume than standard containers. This solution is ideal for light but bulky goods, furniture, and modern e-commerce logistics.
Versatile Application Possibilities

Extra height enables storage of bulky building components like window frames and door frames. Perfect for drywall contractors and insulation dealers.
Industry
Versatile industrial applications: Packaging industry stores cardboard and films with maximum space utilization. Textile companies use height for hanging storage of clothing. Furniture industry transports and stores bulky finished products efficiently.
Retail
