This 45ft high cube one-trip container is the largest and tallest container in our range, combining maximum floor space with an extra 300mm of interior height over a standard 45ft unit. It arrives in as-new condition — built new, shipped to Australia once, and never used for storage.
At 13,716mm in length and 2,896mm in height, this container suits high-volume storage, tall racking systems, large-scale site office conversions, and structural material storage that exceeds the capacity of any smaller container size. Every unit is constructed from corrugated Cor-Ten steel with ISO standard corner castings, fully compatible with crane lift, forklift transport, and intermodal shipping systems.

45ft High Cube vs Standard Size Comparison
| Size | Interior Length | Interior Height | Internal Volume |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20ft Standard | 5,898 mm | 2,385 mm | 33.2 m³ |

Applications
High-Volume Commercial and Industrial Storage
The 45ft high cube is the preferred choice for businesses that have outgrown a standard 40ft container. The additional height suits multi-tier racking systems, maximising vertical storage across the full 13,556mm interior length.
Large-Scale Site Office Conversion
The high cube profile provides comfortable interior ceiling height for multi-room site office layouts. The 45ft length accommodates separate office, meeting room, and amenities areas in a single container without modification compromises.
Long Structural Material Storage
Steel beams, pipes, timber packs, and fabricated components exceeding 40ft in length store cleanly inside, letting structural contractors avoid external storage racks and protect materials from weather damage on active sites.
Construction and Infrastructure Projects
Large construction projects generate significant volumes of tools, plant, and materials requiring secure on-site storage. The one-trip interior is clean and residue-free, protecting sensitive materials and equipment from contamination.
Agricultural and Rural Properties
High-volume seasonal stock, feed, machinery, and chemicals store efficiently in the 45ft format. The one-trip condition means no chemical or food residue from previous cargo — critical for agricultural chemical and feed storage compliance.
Why Choose a One-Trip High Cube Container?
- As-new interior — clean, odour-free, and free of residue from previous cargo
- No maintenance on arrival — no rust treatment, floor repairs, or repainting required
- Longest service life — new Cor-Ten steel outlasts used equivalents in permanent applications
- Conversion-ready — clean walls and floor reduce fit-out preparation time significantly
- Maximum capacity — 45ft high cube delivers more volume than any other standard container
