Need a little more extra storage space than a standard-sized shipping container can offer? A 20ft High Cube (HC) shipping container gives you the same 20-foot footprint as a standard container but adds an extra foot of height — 9’6″ exterior vs. the standard 8’6″. That 12 extra inches of interior clearance makes a significant difference for storing tall equipment, converting to a home office, or creating a livable space.

Shipping Container Depot carries 20ft high cube containers in new (one-trip), used, and rental configurations. All units are inspected and graded before sale. We deliver throughout Southern California including Los Angeles, Long Beach, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Orange County.

Tall inventory storage — racking systems, pipes, lumber, and oversized equipment

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the interior height of a 20ft high cube container?

The interior height of a 20ft high cube container is 8 feet 10 inches (2.69 m). A standard 20ft container has an interior height of 7 feet 10 inches. The extra foot makes a noticeable difference in usability, especially for conversions and tall-item storage.

How much does a 20ft high cube cost?

New (one-trip) 20ft high cube containers typically cost $3,000–$4,500 in Southern California depending on current supply. Used units in good condition run $1,800–$2,800. Contact us for current pricing — inventory changes frequently.

Can a 20ft high cube be delivered to a residential address?

Yes. A 20ft container can be delivered to most residential addresses with a tilt-bed or flatbed truck. You’ll need roughly 60 feet of clear access for drop-off. Tight driveways, low-hanging trees, or overhead wires may require a crane or alternate placement. Our delivery team assesses access before scheduling.

Is a 20ft high cube the same width as a standard container?

Yes. The width is identical: 8 feet exterior, 7 feet 8 inches interior. Only the height differs between a standard and high cube container of the same length.

WHY 20' HIGH CUBE SHIPPING CONTAINER?
