Common Uses

– Storing plant machinery, diggers, and tall equipment
– Site or long – term storage requiring extra headroom
– Export shipping (CSC plated for international transport)
– Container conversions where internal cladding/insulation will reduce usable height (a high cube gives you the extra margin standard containers don’t)
– Boiler rooms, biomass plant housing, or workshop conversions

Why Choose a High Cube Over a Standard 20ft Container?

If you’re planning to line the container with insulation or cladding, internal height is typically reduced by 3 – 6 inches depending on materials used. A High Cube’s extra 12 inches of headroom means you keep comfortable standing room even after fit – out – something a standard 8’6″ unit often can’t offer once lined.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does “one trip” mean?
A one – trip container has made a single import journey from the factory to the UK carrying cargo, then is sold on. It’s effectively brand new with only cosmetic signs of that single trip – a lower – cost alternative to a factory – direct new container.

What’s the difference between a High Cube and a standard container?
A High Cube container stands 9’6″ tall externally versus the standard 8’6″ – giving 12 inches of extra internal headroom for the same footprint.

Is this container CSC plated for shipping?
Yes. It’s supplied with a valid CSC plate, so it’s suitable for both static UK storage and international export/shipping use.

Can I get this container in a specific colour?
Standard stock comes in Blue (RAL5010/5013) or Green (RAL6007). A custom RAL respray service is available on request – contact us for pricing.

Do I need planning permission to install a shipping container?
This depends on your local authority and intended use. We recommend checking with your local council before installation, particularly for permanent siting.
