Same footprint as a standard 40ft, one full foot taller. The high cube suits conversions, tall equipment, and commercial projects across Louisiana. Ask for a written quote with delivery details.
The "high cube" designation means the container is one foot taller than a standard ISO shipping container, also known as a conex box. That takes the exterior from 8 ft 6 in to 9 ft 6 in, and the usable interior ceiling from 7 ft 10 in to 8 ft 10 in. Available in several grades, including used wind and water tight (WWT) and one-trip. See our condition guide for the differences.
That extra foot can help with overhead storage, lighting, and equipment, but finishes and insulation reduce the final headroom.

The high cube door opening is also taller, 8 ft 5 in against 7 ft 5 in on a standard container. That matters when you are loading tall items.
High cube pricing depends on the grade, inventory and your delivery address. Request a written quote for the unit you need.
The extra foot of height helps with tall equipment.
In Baton Rouge, confirm the height, the route and the support under the container, including any sloping driveway.
In Lafayette, arrange shelving and equipment around the door. Confirm the 130ft run the truck needs.
On the Northshore, check for low branches, wires and changes in grade.
In Lake Charles, check the route and any overhead lines before delivery.
In north Louisiana, confirm that the bridge and the field entrance can carry the delivery.
A high cube delivers on the same tilt-bed truck as a standard 40ft, and it needs the same room, with one extra foot of height to account for on the trailer.
