The **45ft High Cube dry container** is the largest standard dry-freight container available, combining the extra length of a 45-footer with the raised roofline of a High Cube unit. Standing 9’6″ (2.9m) tall — a full foot higher than a standard container — it offers exceptional cubic capacity for bulky, high-volume, or awkwardly shaped cargo, making it a popular choice for freight forwarders, storage operators, and container conversion projects across the UK.
Built from weather-resistant Corten steel and supplied wind and watertight, this container is equally suited to secure long-term site storage as it is to logistics and transport use.
– Extra headroom: 9’6″ high cube profile adds significant internal volume over a standard 8’6″ container
– Maximum floor space: 45ft length offers one of the largest single-unit footprints available
– Weatherproof steel construction: Corten steel resists corrosion and keeps contents dry
– Secure locking: Lockable cargo doors with factory-fitted locking bars
– Marine-grade plywood flooring: rated for forklift and pallet loading
– Stackable design: corner castings allow safe stacking where required
– Wind and watertight condition (subject to grade — confirm at time of order)

What’s the difference between a 45ft High Cube and a standard 45ft 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 for the same floor footprint.
Is a 45ft High Cube container suitable for UK road transport?
Yes, though due to its length and height, site access and local road restrictions should be checked before delivery. Our team can advise based on your postcode.
Can this container be used for storage as well as shipping?
Yes. It’s equally suited for securing static storage and for international or domestic freight transport, provided it holds a valid CSC plate for the latter.
Do I need planning permission to site a 45ft container?
This depends on your local authority and intended use (e.g., permanent structure vs. temporary storage). We recommend checking with your local council before installation.
