Which 10ft height is right for you?
Both are 10 feet long and 8 feet wide — the only difference is height. A standard 10ft is 8 ft 6 in tall; a high-cube is 9 ft 6 in tall, adding roughly 80 cubic feet (about 14% more volume) and a full foot of interior headroom — all in the same tiny footprint.
Choose standard for general storage and the widest availability. Choose high-cube when you need the extra height for tall gear, shelving or a small build. Use the 3D viewer above to see the height difference for yourself.
| Feature | Standard 10ft | High-Cube 10ft |
|---|---|---|
| Exterior Height | 8 ft 6 in | 9 ft 6 in (+1 ft) |
| Interior Height | 7 ft 10 in | 8 ft 10 in |
| Capacity | ~560 ft³ | ~640 ft³ (+~14%) |
| Best For | General storage, lock-ups | Tall gear & small builds |
| Footprint | Identical — 10 ft × 8 ft | |
Common uses for 10-foot containers
Home & Garden Storage
Fits side yards, driveways and tight urban lots — secure, weatherproof storage where a 20ft simply won’t go.
Tool & Equipment Lock-Ups
A compact, break-in-resistant gang box for the trades — secure the expensive kit on any job site.
Retail & Events
Pop-up kiosks, ticket booths, merch lock-ups and festival back-of-house in a footprint you can drop almost anywhere.
Moving & Overflow
Load at your pace for a move or seasonal overflow — a portable, lockable box that tucks out of the way.
Small Conversions
Bike stores, guard booths, pump houses and micro-offices — the smallest secure steel shell to build from.
Rooftops & Split Deliveries
Light enough to crane onto rooftops and decks, and to place where access is too tight for larger boxes.
New vs. used 10-foot containers
New (one-trip) 10ft containers have made a single ocean voyage — essentially like-new, with fresh paint and no rust or odors. They’re the pick for conversions, branding and clean storage. Used (refurbished / cargo-worthy) 10ft containers are more affordable and ideal for storage and lock-ups where cosmetic condition isn’t the priority. We grade all used inventory and send photos before delivery.
| Feature | New (One-Trip) | Used (Refurbished) |
|---|---|---|
| Condition | Like new, minimal wear | Some dents, rust or scratches |
| Service Life | 25+ years | 10–15 years |
| Cost | Higher upfront price | Most budget-friendly |
| Best For | Conversions, branding, clean storage | Everyday storage & lock-ups |
| Wind & Water Tight | Yes | Yes |
Why choose a 10ft container
Fits where others can’t
Half the length of a 20ft — slots into side yards, small lots and tight urban sites.
Easiest delivery
Light and short, so it drops on a standard tilt-bed truck with minimal maneuvering room — even craneable onto rooftops.
Full container security
The same 14-gauge Corten steel, marine-grade ply floor and secure lock box as any size — just smaller.
Space-right storage
~560 cu ft is plenty for a household, a trade’s kit or a kiosk — without paying for space you won’t use.
