Overview
ContainerKing® / rent-a-unit proudly presents this brand-new 40ft High Cube One Trip Shipping Container, finished in striking RAL 5010 Blue and built from corrosion-resistant Corten steel to full ISO specifications.
This 40ft high cube shipping container is the industry benchmark for secure, weatherproof storage and export use.
At 9 ft 6 in high — a full foot taller than a standard 40 ft unit — it provides exceptional internal capacity, perfect for high-volume storage, overseas shipping, or bespoke conversions into modular offices, workshops, and accommodation units.
Whether you’re expanding site storage, preparing for export, or planning a container-build project, this one-trip 40ft high cube shipping container delivers unbeatable strength, volume, and value.
Why “One Trip” Matters
The term “one trip” means this container was manufactured new, loaded once for its initial voyage from factory to the UK, and then released for sale.
You get a virtually new 40ft high cube shipping container with minimal handling, unblemished structure, and factory-fresh condition — without the premium price tag of a “brand new” direct-from-factory order.
Each unit undergoes ContainerKing®’s quality inspection to confirm structural integrity, paint condition, and door operation before dispatch.
The result: a one-trip high cube container that looks, performs, and lasts like new.
Technical Specification | ISO-Standard Build
Every 40ft high cube shipping container we supply conforms to ISO 668 and CSC certification standards for international transport and stacking safety.
Constructed from Grade A Corten (Cor-Ten) weathering steel, the container naturally forms a protective oxide layer that resists corrosion and extends service life — even in coastal or industrial environments.

Security & Weatherproofing
Security and protection are central to the design.
This 40ft high cube container includes a lock-box housing for padlock security and fully welded door gear with four locking bars per door, ensuring a tight, watertight seal.
All units are 100 % wind- and watertight, pressure-tested at the factory, and treated with a marine-grade sealant to prevent ingress.
The raised steel cross-member floor design allows airflow underneath, helping prevent condensation and extending timber floor life.
Capacity & Usability
The 40ft high cube shipping container provides an interior height of 8 ft 10 in — giving you roughly 12 cubic metres more capacity than a standard 40 ft unit.
That extra space makes a huge difference for racked storage, tall equipment, or conversion projects needing overhead clearance.
Common applications include:
-
General site storage for plant, materials, and palletised goods
-
Export freight meeting full ISO and CSC requirements
-
Container conversions – workshops, studios, offices, and modular buildings
-
Document or archive storage with added shelving systems
-
Vehicle or machinery housing requiring taller clearance
Each Corten steel high cube shipping container is engineered for stacking up to nine units high when fully loaded — ideal for depots or ports with vertical storage capacity.
Condition & Finish
Asset KNG72196 is supplied factory-fresh, with only light cosmetic transit marks from its single voyage.
Externally coated in RAL 5010 Gentian Blue, it offers a professional appearance suitable for commercial or on-site environments.
Internally, you’ll find pristine marine-ply flooring, corrosion-protected interior walls, and zero contamination — ready for immediate use or conversion.
Optional repainting or custom corporate branding can be arranged through our respray facility if required.
