High cube storage is a solution that utilizes high cube containers, racking systems, or warehouse configurations with greater vertical capacity than standard units. It is a modified container unit designed to fulfill its function as a storage or warehouse.
The main advantage of a high cube storage container is its design, which allows for efficient placement in various locations, including backyards. These are typically used in logistics, warehousing, and distribution centers.

Benefits of Ordering a Storage Container from Tradecorp
High Durability
High cube storage containers are made from corten steel, providing superior protection for goods or cargo stored in container warehouses. With corten steel material and a sturdy structure, storage containers are designed with a robust structure that can withstand earthquakes, extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, and are also rust-resistant.
That provides superior protection for goods or cargo stored in a storage container.
Fast Construction Time
A high cube storage container made from modified containers is ready to use immediately upon delivery to its destination. Modification of shipping containers into warehouses is carried out in the factory according to your specifications.
Maximized Vertical Space
High cube units are 9.6’ tall, compared to standard 8.6’. This allows for storing more goods without expanding the warehouse footprint, optimizing underutilized vertical space.
Increased Storage Capacity
More cubic footage means higher volume of goods stored per square foot, increasing the storage capacity. This is ideal for businesses with large inventories, bulky items, or seasonal surges.
Cost Efficiency
The extra height that this storage container has to offer can reduce the need for additional warehouse space or off-site storage. This can improve ROI on existing infrastructure, lowering cost per cubic foot of storage.
Ideal for Large or Bulky Items
A high cube storage container is common in industries like furniture, automotive parts, and machinery, as it is perfect for oversized cargo, tall pallets, or irregularly shaped goods.
Sustainability Benefits
Better space utilization can reduce energy use per item stored. It may help businesses reduce their carbon footprint by optimizing logistics and storage layouts.
Enhanced Inventory Management
The stored goods will be easier to categorize and access using vertical segmentation. This will also support better organization and picking accuracy.
Tradecorp Portable Storage Container Features
High cube storage containers are manufactured using General Purpose or Dry cargo shipping containers. To truly function as warehouses, storage containers are equipped with the following features:
1. Increased Height
The external height is typically 9.6’ (2.9 meters), 1’ taller than standard storage units or containers. This enables additional storage tiers, larger item capacity, or stacking of taller loads.
2. Greater Cubic Capacity
A high cube storage has up to 15% more internal volume than the standard one, ideal for maximizing payload per unit space.
3. Reinforced Structural Design
High cube storage is able to handle taller and heavier loads. This reinforced flooring, walls, and racking materials ensure stability and safety.
4. Large Entry and Access Openings
Large entry and access openings provide wider and taller doors for easy access to oversized or stacked items. They also facilitate forklift or pallet jack entry in warehousing setups.
5. Stackability
High cube containers and modular racks are often stackable, making them ideal for vertical storage strategies.
6. Compatibility with Material Handling Equipment
A high cube storage container has a design that can integrate high-reach forklifts, conveyor systems, and ASRS (Automated storage & retrieval systems).
7. Modular & Customizable
Containers may include shelving, lighting, insulation, or climate control. You can configure the racks and storage units to different heights, depths, and load capacities.
8. Environmental Protection (for Containers)
High cube containers are often weatherproof, rust-resistant, and secure. Therefore, they are perfect for outdoor or long-term storage needs.
9. Enhanced Security
Enhanced security, like locking mechanisms, internal partitions, and tamper-resistant designs, is useful for high-value inventory or sensitive materials.
10. Optimized for Logistics Efficiency
Standard sizes (e.g., 40-ft or 45-ft high cube containers) are compatible with global shipping infrastructure. This can reduce the number of trips or containers needed, saving time and cost.
