45ft High Cube Dry Container – Maximum Capacity Storage & Shipping

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 Netherlands.

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.

– Secure locking: Lockable cargo doors with factory – fitted locking bars

Frequently Asked Questions

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 Netherlands 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.
