20ft High Cube Container — Home Storage — One-Trip (Ref 2849)
A new 20ft high cube container home storage in cream, configured for home and residential storage. The high cube profile gives 2,698 mm of internal clearance — the right choice for tall racking, bulky furniture, and household items that will not stack comfortably in a standard-height unit. 14 passive vents reduce condensation year-round, which matters for home contents stored in coastal QLD and tropical northern Australia. A factory-fitted lockbox and easy-open double swing doors give immediate padlock security on delivery. Built to ISO 668 Series 1 dimensional standards.

Why a One-Trip Unit Makes Sense for Home Storage
A one-trip container matters for residential buyers in a way it does not for a construction site. You are storing furniture, white goods, personal belongings, and items you care about — not scaffolding and building materials. A used container may carry previous cargo residues, odours, and floor wear of unknown origin. The one-trip unit arrives with a clean coated floor, intact seals, no odour, and walls free of cargo damage. Contents go in without a cleaning or treatment step first. The cream exterior also sits cleanly against a fence line, garden wall, or driveway without the industrial appearance of a rust-marked ex-shipping line container.
The 14-vent passive system is the other reason to choose this unit for home storage over a standard-ventilated container. Condensation is the primary cause of mould on stored furniture and clothing in sealed steel containers. With 14 vents cycling air through the unit, moisture build-up reduces significantly across humid summer months in coastal and subtropical QLD. The easy-open door mechanism also operates smoothly for daily or weekly access without the stiff locking bar friction that develops on aged used containers.
