Why pick a high cube
- Room for insulation and a ceiling while keeping close to 8 ft of headroom.
- Taller door opening (about 8 ft 5 in) for equipment and racking.
- About 13% more volume than a standard container of the same length.
The 40 ft high cube is the most common container in the global fleet, so it is often the easiest size to find one-trip.
High cube sizes and prices
Typical asking prices as of late 2026, before delivery and tax: used 40 ft high cubes about $2,500–$4,800 and one-trip ones about $4,250–$7,000. A 20 ft high cube is less common and often costs about the same as a standard 20 plus a few hundred dollars. 45 ft high cubes turn up occasionally; check that the site and delivery truck can take the extra length.
