£2,140.00
This used 40ft High Cube shipping container combines the largest standard container footprint with an extra 300mm of internal headroom, making it one of the most versatile units in our range. Whether you need secure long term site storage, extra logistics capacity, or a solid base for a container conversion project, this 40ft High Cube offers maximum usable volume at a used-container price point.
Every unit is graded, inspected, and supplied wind and watertight, so you’re getting reliable, secure storage from day one — not a gamble.
A standard 40ft container stands 8ft 6in tall. This High Cube version adds
a full extra foot (9ft 6in total), increasing internal cubic capacity by
roughly 10–12%. That extra headroom makes a real difference if you’re
stacking pallets, storing taller equipment, or converting the container
into a workshop, office, or livable space where headroom matters.

“Grade A” used containers have been inspected and are structurally sound with only minor cosmetic wear (light surface rust, small dents, or paint fade) — a step above standard “cargo-worthy” grading. If you need export certification, ask us about CSC-plated options, which confirm the container meets international transport standards.
We deliver this 40ft High Cube container nationwide via flatbed or tilt-bed vehicle. Before ordering, please check:
– Site access is suitable for a 40ft delivery vehicle
– Ground is level, firm, and prepared for a container this size
– Sufficient straight-line space is available for unloading
What does “wind and watertight” mean?
It means the container has been inspected and confirmed to keep out rain, wind, and moisture — the minimum standard you should expect from any container bought for storage use.
Do I need a CSC plate for this container?
Only if you plan to use it for international shipping or export. For UK
site or storage use, a CSC plate container isn’t required, but we can supply one on
request if you may need it later.
What’s the difference between Grade A and cargo-worthy?
Grade A units have less cosmetic wear and are generally considered a step up in condition from standard cargo worthy 40ft containers, though both are structurally sound and wind and watertight.
Do I need planning permission to site a shipping container?
This depends on your local authority, the container’s intended use, and how long it will remain in place. Temporary storage use often doesn’t require permission, but permanent installations or habitable conversions
usually do. Check with your local planning authority before installation.
Can this container be converted into an office or living space?
Yes — the High Cube’s extra headroom makes it a popular choice for
conversions. See our [container conversion options](https://shippingstoragecontainersuk.com/container-home-office/) for more information.
