40-Foot High Cube Double Door
High cube height combined with cargo doors at both ends of the container.
40 ft
Container overview
This unit combines the extra foot of interior height found on a high cube with a full cargo door set at each end. Tall crated equipment can be driven or rolled straight through, and the taller door opening reduces the clearance problems that arise when loading tall pieces into a standard-height box.
It is commonly used for equipment staging, event builds and storage layouts where both height and dual access matter. Dimensions match a 40-foot high cube apart from the second door set.
Allow swing clearance at both ends, and confirm route height limits for the 9-foot 6-inch profile.
