Overview | 40ft High Cube Shipping Container for Sale

ContainerKing® / rent-a-unit proudly offers this 40ft High Cube One Trip Shipping Container for sale, finished in RAL 5010 Gentian Blue and manufactured from corrosion-resistant Corten steel to full ISO container standards.

A 40ft high cube shipping container is widely regarded as the industry benchmark for secure storage, export freight, and container conversion projects.

With an external height of 9ft 6in — one foot taller than a standard 40ft container — the high cube design provides significantly increased internal volume, making it ideal for industrial storage, logistics operations, construction sites, and modular container conversions.

Whether you require secure site storage, export shipping capacity, or a strong platform for a container conversion, this one-trip 40ft high cube container delivers exceptional strength, reliability and long-term value.


What “One Trip” Means

A one-trip shipping container is manufactured new and used only once to transport cargo from the factory to its destination.

This means you receive a virtually new 40ft high cube container with:

  • minimal handling

  • excellent structural condition

  • clean interior surfaces

  • long service life

Each container supplied by ContainerKing® is visually inspected before dispatch to ensure doors operate correctly, seals are intact, and structural integrity is maintained.


Technical Specification | ISO Container Standards

Every 40ft high cube shipping container supplied by ContainerKing® conforms to recognised ISO manufacturing standards and carries a CSC plate for international transport, allowing the container to be used in global shipping operations.

Constructed from Grade A Corten weathering steel, the container naturally develops a protective oxide layer which helps resist corrosion and prolong structural life.

Security & Weatherproof Protection

Security and durability are fundamental features of the 40ft high cube container design.

Each container includes:

  • Heavy-duty steel lock-box protection

  • Four locking bars per cargo door

  • Wind and watertight construction (WWT)

  • Fully welded steel door gear

The container floor sits on raised steel cross-members, allowing airflow beneath the unit and helping extend the life of the timber flooring.


Capacity & Practical Uses

A 40ft High Cube shipping container provides approximately 12 cubic metres more internal space than a standard height container.

This extra capacity makes it particularly suitable for:

  • construction site storage

  • palletised goods and equipment

  • industrial inventory storage

  • container conversion projects

  • export freight and logistics

High cube containers are also engineered for multi-level stacking in port and depot environments, demonstrating their exceptional structural strength.


Condition & Finish

Asset KNG72304 is supplied in one-trip condition, meaning it has completed only its initial cargo journey from the manufacturer.

The container may display minor transit marks, which are normal for one-trip containers, but overall remains in excellent structural and cosmetic condition.

Externally the container is finished in RAL 5010 Gentian Blue, providing a clean and professional appearance suitable for commercial environments.

Internally you will find:

  • clean laminated bamboo flooring

  • steel interior walls and roof panels

  • contamination-free storage space

ready for immediate storage use or container conversion work.


Optional Extras & Container Conversions

ContainerKing® also offers a full range of shipping container modification and conversion services, including:

  • electrical installation (lighting, sockets, consumer units)

  • insulation and internal lining systems

  • personnel doors and windows

  • internal partition walls

  • anti-condensation roof coatings

  • heavy-duty racking and shelving

  • custom colour respray options

Our experienced fabrication team can transform a 40ft high cube container into workshops, offices, studios, or modular buildings.
