20 ft High Cube Container – Corten Steel, Wind and Watertight

This 20 ft high cube container – Corten steel, wind and watertight offers an extra foot of interior height compared to standard containers, making it ideal for storing tall equipment, installing pallet racking, or creating comfortable workshop space. For example, you can stand fully upright anywhere inside this container – unlike standard height units where tall users stoop near the doors. Therefore, this high cube design provides superior comfort and storage density.

Why Choose a High Cube Container?

Standard shipping containers stand only 8ft 6in tall, limiting storage options. In contrast, this high cube container stands 9ft 6in tall externally, giving you approximately 8ft 10in of internal headroom . Consequently, you can store taller machinery, double-stack pallets, or install mezzanine flooring . Moreover, the 20ft length holds 11 Euro pallets while fitting on smaller sites . Thus, you gain maximum storage volume in a compact container footprint.

Key Features of This High Cube Container

The extra interior height and wind and watertight certification make this container stand out. For instance, the 2.0mm corrugated Corten steel walls provide exceptional strength and security against break-ins . Similarly, the rubber door seals and welded seams prevent rain, snow, dust, and pests from entering your stored goods . Furthermore, the CSC safety plate confirms structural integrity for intermodal shipping if you ever need to relocate . Finally, the lockable double doors feature heavy-duty locking rods (top, bottom, and side) for security.

High Cube Dimensions – More Space Than Standard

The extra foot of height transforms what you can store inside this 20ft container. For example, you can install two-tier pallet racking, effectively doubling your storage capacity . Likewise, you can stand upright comfortably anywhere inside – no stooping near the doors . Furthermore, bulky items like vehicles, machinery, or tall equipment fit easily . Consequently, one 20ft high cube container often provides the same usable volume as two standard containers for certain applications.

Wind and Watertight Certification – Guaranteed Dry

Wind and watertight (WWT) represents a quality grade we verify before delivery. First, we inspect each container and confirm that all door seals remain flexible and intact . Second, we test the unit to ensure that rain cannot penetrate the walls, roof, or floor joints . Third, we verify that the doors close properly and lock securely . If you need guaranteed dry storage for sensitive items, this WWT grade delivers exactly that – your contents stay completely dry even in heavy rain or snow.

Corten Steel Construction – Built to Last

Corten steel makes this container exceptionally durable for outdoor use anywhere. First, the weathering steel (grade S355J2W) forms a stable, self-protecting rust patina over time . Second, this patina prevents deeper corrosion, unlike standard steel that continues rusting through . Third, the steel requires no painting or ongoing maintenance under normal conditions . Finally, a typical Corten steel container lasts 25+ years in outdoor conditions . Therefore, you can place this container anywhere without worrying about premature rust.

CSC Plated – Ready for Transport Anywhere

The CSC plate confirms that this container meets international safety standards for shipping. For example, the plate certifies that the container has passed structural tests for stacking, lifting, and floor strength . Likewise, the CSC certification allows legal transport on ships, trains, and trucks across international borders . If you need to relocate the container overseas for a project, this certification makes international shipping possible . Thus, you gain complete flexibility for both static storage and transport.

The 28mm Marine Ply Floor – Built for Heavy Loads

The marine ply floor handles demanding storage applications with ease. For example, the 28mm thickness provides exceptional strength for heavy pallets, machinery, or vehicles . Likewise, the WBP (Weather and Boil Proof) adhesive resists moisture penetration, even in damp site conditions . Furthermore, the tongue-and-groove construction creates seamless coverage across the entire floor . As a result, you can store loads up to 26,000 kg evenly distributed without worrying about floor failure.

20ft Dimensions – Compact but Capacious

The 20ft length provides generous storage while fitting on most sites. For example, the internal length of approximately 19ft 4in accommodates 11 Euro pallets . Likewise, the internal width of approximately 7ft 8in-7ft 9in allows comfortable access . If you need compact storage with extra headroom, this 20ft high cube container delivers the perfect balance.
