High Cube vs Standard Height — Why It Matters for Plant Storage

Specification	Standard 20ft	High Cube 20ft
Interior Height	2,385 mm	2,698 mm
Height Advantage	—	+313mm interior clearance
Digger / Plant Storage	Often insufficient	Suitable clearance
Tall Equipment Storage	Limited	Accommodates most compact plant

The additional 313mm of interior height is the critical difference for plant machinery storage. Furthermore, compact excavator cabs, ROPS frames, and elevated attachments frequently exceed the 2,385mm interior clearance of a standard 20ft container. As a result, this High Cube is the correct unit for construction and civil contractors storing plant on site.

Key Features

One-Trip condition — manufactured new, shipped once, sold in as-new condition
9’6″ external height — 313mm more interior clearance than a standard 20ft
Ideal for plant, digger, and tall machinery storage — the primary reason to choose High Cube
All Cor-Ten steel construction — rust, corrosion, and impact resistant
CSC plated to 30 ton maximum gross weight
Factory-fitted lockbox — protects padlock from bolt cutters
2 locking bars per door — dual security on every access point
4 forklift pockets (2 per side) — easy repositioning on site
28mm marine plywood floor — handles plant machinery drive-in loads

Delivered to locations throughout Australia

Applications

Plant and Excavator Storage

Compact excavators, mini diggers, and skid steers drive directly into the container via a ramp at the end door. Furthermore, the High Cube interior height accommodates the ROPS frame and cab clearance that standard containers cannot provide. As a result, the plant is stored securely on site, protected from weather and theft.

Construction Attachment and Accessory Storage

Buckets, hydraulic breakers, augers, and compaction plates store cleanly inside the container alongside the host machine. Moreover, keeping attachments with the plant reduces site logistics and prevents attachment damage from outdoor exposure.

Elevated Work Platform Storage

Compact scissor lifts, boom lifts, and elevated work platforms with folded mast heights exceeding 2.4m store inside the High Cube profile. Therefore, this container is the preferred choice for access equipment hire companies storing units at a depot between jobs.

Civil and Infrastructure Site Storage

Civil contractors store survey equipment, generators, compressors, and pumps alongside plant machinery. Additionally, the clean One-Trip interior protects sensitive equipment from dust, moisture, and contamination from previous cargo residue.

Export Container

This One-Trip container suits active export applications as well as storage. Furthermore, the CSC plate and ISO standard construction make it compatible with intermodal shipping systems. Browse our full range of containers for export for additional options.
