40ft One-Trip High Cube Shipping Container – 9ft 6in, CSC Plate, Lockbox

Description

The 40ft One-Trip High Cube Shipping Container from Big Bear Containers is a built-to-last, wind- and watertight steel unit engineered for secure, long-lasting performance.

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.

Ideal Uses

The 40ft One-Trip High Cube Shipping Container is a versatile high cube container suited to a wide range of jobs, including:

• Tall cargo and palletized goods
• Container conversions needing headroom
• General high-volume storage

Construction & Durability

This 40ft steel shipping container uses factory-fresh one-trip steel over a welded steel underframe with cross-members on close centers, which is why the floor takes forklift traffic without deflecting. The roof is a single corrugated sheet — no seams across the span to leak. 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

The 40ft steel shipping container goes out on a free tilt-bed run with delivery windows confirmed ahead of the date. A 40ft-class unit needs roughly 100ft of straight approach for the truck to back in and tilt. Gravel over compacted base is the cheapest pad that actually works; bare soil will pull moisture and settle unevenly through a wet season.
