Rockhampton's 20ft High Cube Containers

Home > 20ft > High Cube > Rockhampton

If you're in the market for a shipping container, you may have come across the terms "20ft" and "High Cube." But what do these terms mean, and what benefits do they offer?

First, let's talk about size. A 20ft container is the most popular size for shipping containers, and for good reason. It's large enough to hold a significant amount of cargo, but not so large that it becomes cumbersome or difficult to transport. This makes it an ideal choice for a variety of applications, from shipping goods overseas to using it as a storage container on your property.

Now, let's talk about High Cube. A High Cube container is essentially a 20ft container that's just a bit taller than the standard model. Specifically, it's about a foot taller, with a height of 9'6" instead of the standard 8'6". This extra height may not sound like much, but it can make a big difference when it comes to storing certain items or loading cargo.

So, what are the benefits of choosing a 20ft High Cube container in Rockhampton? For starters, it gives you more space to work with. Whether you're using it for storage, shipping, or something else entirely, having that extra foot of height can make it easier to fit everything you need inside.

Another benefit is that High Cube containers tend to be more flexible when it comes to loading and unloading cargo. Because they're taller, you may be able to stack items higher or use more creative solutions for fitting everything in. This can be especially helpful if you're dealing with oddly-shaped items or a large quantity of goods.

At ABC Container Hire and Sales, we offer a wide range of shipping containers in Rockhampton, including 20ft High Cube models. And while it's true that 10ft containers aren't necessarily cheaper than 20ft ones, we believe that the extra space and flexibility offered by the larger size is well worth the investment. Contact us today to learn more about our selection and find the perfect container for your needs.
