45ft Used High Cube Container For Sale – Blue
This 45ft used high cube container is the largest standard box in the range — 13.72 m long with roughly 86 m³ inside. That’s the storage volume of a double garage and a half, delivered in one lift. The wind and watertight grade keeps the price at the working end of the market. Consequently, buyers who need maximum covered volume per dollar start here, not at the 40ft rack.
45ft vs 40ft High Cube — the Extra Metre and a Half
| Factor | 40ft HC | 45ft HC |
| External Length | 12.19 m | 13.72 m |
| Internal Volume | ~76 m³ | ~86 m³ |
| Extra Capacity | — | +10 m³ — roughly four extra pallet positions |
The height matches a standard high cube at 2.90 m external, so the gain is pure length. Therefore, anything long — timber packs, irrigation pipe, vehicles with a trailer — fits here when a 40 runs short.
What Wind & Watertight Means
WWT containers have worked the shipping lines and retired from cargo certification, but the grade guarantees the essentials: wind stays out, water stays out. Expect surface rust, dents, and faded paint. None of it affects storage performance — the Cor-Ten shell, door seals, and floor all still do their jobs.
Key Features
- Cor-Ten weathering steel construction
- 28 mm marine plywood floor on steel cross-members
- Double cargo doors with locking bars
- Factory-fitted lockbox for padlock security
- Forklift pockets for positioning
- Vents to reduce condensation

The unit follows ISO 668 dimensions, so standard container transport and lifting equipment handles it — though at 13.72 m, plan a long, level position before it arrives.
What Buyers Do With 86 Cubic Metres
- Farm machinery and implements — headers, folded booms, and long gear under one roof

- Whole-property storage — an entire house’s contents in one container during a build
- Long materials — pipe, timber, and steel lengths a 40ft cuts short
- Conversion base — the 13.5 m x 2.35 m interior is a favourite starting shell for studio and granny-flat projects
