Same footprint as a standard 40ft, one full foot taller. The high cube suits conversions, tall equipment, and commercial projects across Missouri. 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.

Pallet racking in the supplier yards and sequencing centers around Wentzville and Claycomo, where the extra foot of height can fit another level of racking.
Any build you intend to insulate and finish, because in a state that runs humid summers and real winters the insulation has to touch the steel everywhere, and that takes headroom you cannot get back in a standard 40ft.
Distribution and logistics operations along I-70, I-44 and I-35, and around the Kansas City intermodal yards, staging freight upright rather than flat.
Aerospace, machining and tooling shops across north St. Louis County and St. Charles County storing fixtures, raw stock and finished assemblies at the fence line.
Animal health and food processing operations from St. Joseph across the metro to Columbia, where a plant expansion can use a container for storage during construction.
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.
