Product Description
Item Title: 40ft High Cube Used Shipping Container (Cargo Worthy Grade) — 9'6" Tall | Certified for Export
The Versatile Workhorse for Logistics and Large-Scale Projects
The 40ft High Cube Cargo Worthy container is a retired intermodal asset that has undergone a professional inspection by a maritime surveyor to ensure it is suitable for international transport. While these units are typically 10–15 years old and display "visible signs of service life"—including surface rust, dents, scratches, and non-matching paint patches—their structural integrity is guaranteed.
The primary advantage of the High Cube design is the additional 12 inches of vertical clearance, bringing the interior ceiling height to approximately 8' 10". This extra space is critical for storing oversized machinery, stacking pallets, or creating a comfortable habitable environment for container homes and offices. Unlike budget "Wind and Watertight" (WWT) units, the Cargo Worthy grade ensures the container is strong enough to be stacked in a cellular guide aboard a vessel, making it the required standard for overseas shipping.
