Looking for maximum storage or shipping capacity with the least possible wear? This 40ft High Cube container is supplied as a One Trip unit — meaning it has made just a single journey from the factory, carrying cargo to port before arriving with us. The result is a container that looks and performs like new, without the premium price tag of a factory-direct order.
What does “One Trip” mean? A One Trip container has been used only once for its original cargo journey. Unlike used or cargo-worthy containers, which may have years of service and multiple repairs behind them, a One Trip unit typically shows minimal wear: intact paintwork, a clean floor, and tight door seals. It’s the closest you can get to a brand-new container while still benefiting from competitive one-trip pricing.
Why choose a High Cube over a standard height container? A High Cube container stands 9’6″ tall externally — a full foot taller than a standard 8’6″ container — while keeping the same 40ft length and 8ft width footprint. That extra height adds significant internal cubic capacity, making it the preferred choice for bulkier cargo, taller equipment storage, or any container conversion project (offices, workshops, welfare units) where standing headroom and ceiling void for services really matter.

This unit is graded New / One Trip, our highest available grade short of a factory-direct order. Every container is inspected before dispatch to confirm it is wind and watertight and structurally sound. If you’re comparing grades, see our guide to shipping container conditions, or get in touch and our team can talk you through which grade suits your project.

What is the difference between a One Trip and a new container? A brand-new container comes straight from the factory with zero use. A One Trip container has made a single cargo journey, so it’s very slightly used but still arrives in near-new condition — at a lower price than a factory-direct order.
What is the difference between a 40ft High Cube and a standard 40ft container? A High Cube container is 9’6″ tall, a full foot taller than a standard 8’6″ container, giving significantly more internal cubic capacity on the same footprint.
Is a 40ft High Cube container suitable for a container conversion? Yes. The extra headroom makes High Cube containers the preferred choice for office, workshop, and living space conversions, where standing room and space for ceiling services (cabling, insulation, ducting) matter.
Do I need planning permission to site a 40ft container? This depends on your local authority and intended use (temporary storage vs. permanent structure). We’d recommend checking with your local council before installation.
