This 40ft one-trip high cube shipping container is a near-new unit manufactured in China and used for a single cargo journey before being offered for sale in the USA. One-Trip condition means the interior walls, floor, door seals, and lockbox are in near-new condition with minimal surface marks — offering the structural and weatherproofing performance of a new container at a lower price point than a direct factory order. The CSC plate is valid and certifies the unit for continued international freight use at a maximum gross weight of 30 tonnes.

The high cube configuration provides an external height of 9ft 6in (2,896mm) and an internal height of 8ft 10in (2,698mm) — one full foot above a standard 40ft container — giving a total cubic capacity of 2,698 cubic feet. This additional headroom is suited to storing tall plant equipment, diggers on low frames, stacked pallets, and large format goods that would exceed the internal clearance of a standard 8ft 6in container. The wider door opening height of 8ft 6in (2,591mm) on the high cube also allows taller items to be driven or lifted through the end door with greater clearance than a standard unit.

Security is provided by exterior hinged double cargo doors at one end, each fitted with two locking bars and a factory-fitted lockbox that recesses the padlock shackle to reduce bolt cutter exposure. Two forklift pockets on each side — four in total — allow straightforward yard handling from either long face. Four vents provide passive airflow to manage condensation during storage. The floor is 28mm marine-grade plywood on steel cross-members, providing a load-bearing surface rated for heavy pallet and forklift loading. The frame, cladding, and corner castings are COR-TEN weathering steel throughout.

For guidance on container siting and permit requirements in the USA, refer to the International Code Council building standards reference.
