20ft High Cube One-Trip Shipping Container — New
This is a new 20ft high cube shipping container as you can buy in Australia. It was built new in China, shipped to Australia with a single load of goods, unloaded, and brought directly into our inventory. Furthermore, it has never been used for storage — the interior is clean, odour-free, and completely free of residue from previous cargo.
Moreover, this is a High Cube container — standing 9.5ft tall. As a result, it provides significantly more vertical clearance than a standard 20ft container. Additionally, it ships with a factory-fitted lockbox, 14 vents, coated floors, and an easy-open door — ready to use from the moment it arrives on site.

High Cube vs Standard Height — Key Difference
| Specification | Standard 20ft | High Cube 20ft |
|---|---|---|
| Exterior Height | 8’6″ / 2,591 mm | 9’6″ / 2,896 mm |
| Interior Height | 7’10” / 2,385 mm | 8’10” / 2,698 mm |
| Height Advantage | — | +300mm interior clearance |
The additional 300mm of interior clearance suits tall racking systems, site office conversions, and applications where standard containers fall short on vertical space. Therefore, if height matters for your application, this is the correct unit.

Applications of a 20ft High Cube Shipping Container
Construction and Site Storage
Store tools, materials, and equipment securely on-site. Furthermore, the One-Trip interior is clean and dry — free of the odour and residue common in older used containers. As a result, it suits sensitive materials and equipment that cannot share space with chemical or food cargo residue.
Tall Racking and Shelving
The High Cube profile accommodates three-tier and four-tier racking systems with full vertical clearance. Moreover, 14 vents maintain airflow across all shelf levels — reducing heat and moisture build-up in a fully stocked container.
Site Office and Accommodation Conversion
The 9.5ft exterior height provides a comfortable interior ceiling for staff working inside. Therefore, this is the preferred base unit for site office, lunchroom, and accommodation container conversions.
Business and Commercial Storage
Retail, wholesale, and industrial operations use High Cube containers for overflow inventory and seasonal stock. Additionally, the lockbox and locking bars provide two layers of security for high-value goods stored around the clock.
Farm and Agricultural Storage
The 14-vent passive system makes this container well-suited to agricultural storage. Furthermore, improved airflow reduces condensation — protecting seeds, dry goods, and equipment from moisture damage in outdoor environments.
