A 8ft high cube container in used condition — in service and structurally sound. Chosen for extra headroom for tall loads and conversions. Every unit is inspected before it leaves our yard, so the grade below is what you will actually receive.

20 x 8Ft 9ft 6 high cube Container, With Anti Condensation, Lighting & Shelving
This 20-foot high cube shipping container offers a weather-resistant and secure storage solution for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. Constructed from durable Corten steel, this unit features a 9-foot 6-inch external height, providing additional vertical space compared to a standard container. It arrives equipped with anti-condensation coating, integrated LED lighting, and sturdy shelving, making it ready for immediate use as a storage unit, workshop, or mobile office .
Key Features

Increased Interior Height: As a high cube unit, this container offers approximately one foot of additional vertical space compared to a standard shipping container, allowing for taller shelving and easier movement inside .

Anti-Condensation Protection: The interior is treated with a specialized coating designed to mitigate moisture buildup caused by temperature fluctuations, helping to protect stored goods from dampness and rust .

Integrated LED Lighting: Battery-powered or low-voltage LED lighting is installed to provide illumination inside the container, enhancing visibility and usability in low-light conditions.

Built-in Shelving System: Heavy-duty shelving units are included to help organize tools, inventory, or materials, maximizing the usable storage space.

Durable Construction: Manufactured with Cor-ten steel for structural integrity and weather resistance, featuring a marine-grade plywood floor and sealed doors to help keep the interior watertight .

Detailed Description
This 20-foot high cube container is designed for users who require a durable, secure, and organized space. The high cube design is a key differentiator, offering 9’6″ of external height, which translates to a more comfortable interior for standing and storing larger items .
To address the common challenge of condensation in metal structures, this unit has been fitted with an anti-condensation coating. This is a proactive measure to help manage internal moisture and maintain a drier environment for your belongings .
The addition of interior lighting and shelving transforms the container from a simple steel box into a functional workspace or storage room. The lighting improves safety and accessibility, while the shelving provides a ready-made organizational system. As with all ISO-standard containers, this unit is built with standard corner castings, making it transportable via truck, rail, or ship, and suitable for stacking .

Dimensions and capacity

Internal dimensions are approximately 7'10" long × 7'2" wide × 7'2" high, giving about 400 cubic feet of usable space, with single end doors. These are the standard figures for a 8ft high cube container; exact internals vary slightly by manufacturer.

A high cube adds a foot of interior height over a standard container, which matters for stacked pallets, machinery on wheels, or any conversion where headroom decides the build.

Condition

This is a used container that has been in service. It is wind and watertight — no holes, working door seals, an intact roof — but it shows its history: surface rust, dents and previous owner markings are normal and do not affect how it performs.

What it is good for

This unit is commonly used for extra headroom for tall loads and conversions. Doors, windows, insulation, electrics and paint can all be added before it ships — it is cheaper and neater to specify a conversion while the container is still in our yard than to modify it on your site afterwards.

Standards and inspection

Containers intended for international shipping carry a valid safety approval plate under the Convention for Safe Containers, administered by the International Maritime Organization. Condition grades such as cargo-worthy follow the inspection criteria published by the Institute of International Container Lessors. If you need a unit for shipping rather than static storage, tell us and we will confirm its plate before dispatch.

Delivery

Delivery is quoted against your site access rather than published as a flat rate, because haulage for a container depends on the distance, the approach and whether a crane is needed. Most deliveries use a tilt-bed truck, which needs a clear and reasonably level run about twice the container length. We price it before you commit.
