Internal and external dimensions high cube
With high cube containers, the difference between external and internal dimensions is particularly important, as the extra height is only valuable if that internal space is also functionally utilized.
The external dimensions determine whether the high cube container can be practically delivered and placed at your location in terms of length and height.
The interior dimensions show how much additional usable height and volume you actually get inside the high cube cluster.
The clear height of the doorway also counts. This determines what you can practically load or unload, especially with taller goods.
10ft high cube
The 10ft high cube is the compact high cube variant. This version is interesting if you want to combine a limited footprint with extra internal height.
20ft high cube
The 20ft high cube is the all-round high cube variant. These 20ft high cube dimensions are often chosen when a standard 20ft container does not offer enough height.
40ft high cube
The 40ft high cube is the large volume container within the high cube cluster. These dimensions of a 40ft high cube are interesting when maximum capacity and extra height are both important.
