Customize your exterior with specialized paints, including the color of your choice and professional branding applications. We apply industrial-grade coatings and a full spectrum of custom colors, including durable marine-grade and specialized anti-graffiti paints, and can professionally apply your company's logos and branding directly to the exterior for maximum visibility.

Frequently Asked
Questions
What's the main advantage of a 40-foot High Cube over a standard 40ft container?
A 40-footHigh Cube (HC or HQ) container offers an extra foot of interior height (9'6" vs. 8'6" standard). This additional vertical space is crucial for storing taller items, stacking more efficiently, or creating more comfortable and spacious modified units like offices or homes.
Are there special considerations for delivering a 40-foot High Cube due to its size?
Yes, due to their length and height, delivery challenges for 40-foot High Cubes can include navigating tighter turns, ensuring sufficient overhead clearance (e.g., under power lines or tree branches), and requiring more space for the delivery truck. We always perform a delivery site assessment to plan for these specifics and use appropriate delivery methods and equipment.
How do these large used containers hold up against humid weather?
Our 40-foot used High Cubes are built from Corten steel, which is highly resistant to the corrosive effects of salt air and humidity. For long-term protection, especially for stored contents, we recommend considering ventilation systems and insulation types to help manage condensation and moisture control inside.
Can a 40-foot used High Cube be divided into multiple rooms for an office or living space?
Absolutely. The generous length and extra height of a 40-foot High Cube make it an excellent base for creating multiple rooms, private offices, or even multi-bedroom living spaces. Our container fabrication team can add partitions, custom doors, windows, and full interior finishes to meet your design needs.
What is the typical payload capacity for a 40-foot used High Cube?
A 40ft used High Cube container typically has a Payload Capacity of up to 58,935 - 61,861 lbs (26,730 - 28,060 kg). This means it can hold a substantial amount of cargo by weight, in addition to its large Cubic Capacity. We also provide Tare Weight (empty weight) and Gross Weight (max total weight) for your planning.
