These containers are used more specifically for light but large cargo movement. The advantage of high cube containers is their additional height and added voluminous capacity. High Cube (HC) containers come in standard lengths of 20 feet and 40 feet, similar to conventional shipping containers. These are used for transporting goods that have a large volume but are not particularly heavy. This can include items such as furniture, lightweight construction materials, and bulk commodities like textiles or plastic goods. The extra height of High Cube containers provides additional cubic capacity. For example, a 40 ft High Cube container offers about 12% more volume than a standard 40 ft. container, making it an excellent choice for shippers looking to maximize the volume of cargo transported in a single container.
