This 20ft high cube container new is a new build that carried one load of cargo from China to Australia before sale — arriving with a clean interior, no odour, no residue, and a coated floor in as-new condition. The high cube profile adds 305mm of internal height over a standard 20ft unit, giving 2,698mm of usable internal clearance. 14 vents provide passive airflow throughout — significantly more than the standard 2-vent configuration. A factory-fitted lockbox and easy-open double swing doors are included as standard.

Where the 20ft High Cube Container New Gets Used
A 20ft high cube container new suits applications where the extra 313mm of internal height changes what’s possible inside the unit. Three-tier and four-tier racking systems fit comfortably where a standard unit tops out at two tiers. Site office conversions benefit from the higher ceiling — staff working inside don’t experience the low-ceiling compression that affects standard container offices. The one-trip condition matters for conversion projects — a clean, coated floor, no odour, and no cargo residue cuts fit-out preparation time significantly compared to a used container. As a result, this unit suits site offices, retail storage, agricultural storage, and workshop conversions where height and condition both matter.
The 14-vent passive system reduces heat and condensation build-up across all shelf levels when the container is fully stocked. The easy-open door mechanism suits frequent daily access without the stiff locking bar friction that older used containers develop. The factory-fitted lockbox gives immediate padlock security from the moment the unit arrives on site.
