The Tall Compact Option
The 20ft High Cube combines the compact footprint of a standard 20-footer with an extra foot of height. This gives you 12% more usable volume without taking up more ground space - perfect when vertical space matters.
Why High Cube?
That extra foot of height (8'10" internal vs 7'10" standard) makes a big difference:
- Standing Room: Comfortable headroom for working inside
- Taller Storage: Stack items higher, store tall equipment
- Better Conversions: Essential for livable spaces
- Same Footprint: Fits anywhere a standard 20’ fits
