Description
The 20ft High Cube Roller Shutter Container from Big Bear Containers is a heavy-duty, wind- and watertight steel unit engineered for secure, long-lasting performance.
This 20ft high cube roller shutter container is a used, wind and watertight unit fitted with a full-side electric roller shutter spanning the entire long face of the container — providing powered, effortless access to the full interior width without the physical effort of a manual roll-up or the swing clearance required by hinged doors. The electric shutter opens and closes at the press of a button, making this unit suited to high-frequency daily-access operations, commercial storage facilities, workshops, and pop-up retail where smooth, quick entry is operationally important. The 9ft 6in high cube profile adds a full additional foot of internal height compared to a standard 20ft container, providing an internal height of 8ft 7in (2,620mm) — generous headroom for racking, tall equipment, and interior fit-out projects.
The electric roller shutter requires a mains electrical connection to operate — this must be arranged on site by a licensed electrician before the shutter is functional. The base unit is used in Wind and Watertight (WWT) condition — a one-trip near-new container upgrade is available at additional cost for buyers requiring a cleaner substrate. The shutter width across the full side opening is not specified — confirm the exact shutter opening dimensions with Big Bear Containers before ordering if clearance dimensions are critical to your intended use.
The unit is available in a wide range of exterior colors — specify your preferred color at time of order. Optional add-ons including insulation packages, interior lining (plywood, melamine, or plasterboard), electrical lighting and power outlets, additional roller shutters, and extra doors and windows can all be specified at time of order for an itemised quotation. For guidance on container siting and permit requirements in the USA, refer to the International Code Council building standards reference.

- Tall cargo and palletized goods
- Container conversions needing headroom
- General high-volume storage
Construction & Durability
Construction is cargo-worthy steel graded wind- and watertight throughout. On this 20ft steel shipping container the door gear is the part that earns its keep: four locking bars into cams top and bottom, seated against a full-perimeter rubber gasket that is what actually keeps weather out. The high-cube profile adds a foot of interior headroom over a standard-height unit, which matters for racking, tall pallets, and any fit-out with a ceiling.
Delivery & Site Preparation
Site prep for the 20ft steel shipping container is simple but not optional. Allow about 75ft of clear, straight approach so the bed can tilt and slide the unit off. Level the pad within an inch or so across the footprint; a container that sits twisted will bind at the doors, which is the one fault that is genuinely annoying to fix later.
