20ft High Cube One-Trip Export Container — CSC Plated — New
A brand new, 20ft High Cube Export Container built for active international export. This One-Trip High Cube export container meets full ISO 668 Series 1 dimensional standards and carries a valid CSC plate — certifying it for intermodal transport across road, rail, and sea without modification or re-certification.
Furthermore, the One-Trip condition means the container has completed a single commercial voyage and arrives in as-new structural condition. As a result, it is immediately eligible for loading, sealing, and export without inspection delays or condition downgrades at the port.
Moreover, the High Cube profile provides 300mm more interior height than a standard 20ft container. Therefore, it suits tall export cargo — machinery, equipment, and palletised goods that exceed standard container clearance — without resorting to an open top or flat rack configuration.

20ft High Cube Export Container Applications
Tall Cargo and Machinery Export
Export cargo exceeding standard 20ft container clearance loads into the High Cube interior without resorting to open top or flat rack configurations. Furthermore, the sealed High Cube protects machinery, equipment, and sensitive cargo from weather exposure during ocean transit — unlike open top alternatives.
Australian Agricultural Export
Australian agricultural exporters use High Cube containers for bulk bagged goods, palletised produce, and tall commodity loads. Moreover, the extra interior height accommodates double-stacked bulk bags and taller palletised configurations — maximising cubic utilisation per container on export voyages.
Mining and Resources Equipment Export
Mining equipment, spare parts, and plant machinery ship internationally in High Cube containers where standard clearance is insufficient. As a result, exporters avoid expensive open-top surcharges and the risk of weathering on high-value equipment shipments.
Intermodal Door-to-Door Freight
ISO compliance and valid CSC certification allow this container to move seamlessly by road, rail, and sea without transfer to another unit. Therefore, it suits door-to-door freight operations where cargo integrity and handling minimisation are critical.
