45ft High Cube Shipping Container: Extra Height, Extra Possibilities
The 45ft high cube container is the premium choice for customers who need maximum interior volume combined with extra ceiling height. Standing 9 ft 6 in tall (one full foot taller than a standard container), it provides the vertical clearance required for insulated ceilings, raised flooring systems, HVAC ductwork, mezzanine levels, and comfortable standing headroom throughout the entire unit. This makes it the top choice for container homes, multi-room office conversions, and any project where interior livability is a priority.

Why Choose a High Cube?
Standard shipping containers have an interior ceiling height of approximately 7 ft 10 in. While adequate for storage, this leaves very little room for insulation, lighting fixtures, ceiling finishes, or raised floor systems. The high cube’s extra 12 inches of headroom solves this problem entirely, allowing you to install a full insulation and finishing package while still maintaining a comfortable 8-foot ceiling height in the finished space.
