The 45ft High Cube provides 27% more capacity than a 40ft HC. If you need maximum storage, have the space, and want to minimize the number of units, the 45ft is the most efficient choice. It’s also ideal for storing long items that won’t fit in 40ft units.

Can 45ft containers be shipped internationally?

45ft containers are primarily used for domestic road and rail transport. Many international ports don’t accept them due to standard stacking and handling limitations. They’re most common in North America for domestic logistics.
