40-Foot High Cube Shipping Container – Red (New, First Trip – Extra Height)
Maximum capacity with premium visibility. This 40-Foot High Cube (HC) shipping container in striking red delivers exceptional storage volume and high-impact visibility.
Product Description
The 40-Foot High Cube Shipping Container in Red offers superior capacity and high visibility for commercial, industrial, or event applications. With an external height of 9'6" (2.896 m) and an internal volume of approximately 76 cubic meters, this High Cube container provides roughly 12% additional space compared to standard containers . This extra height makes it ideal for storing bulky machinery, tall furniture, or creating spacious converted environments.
As a "First Trip" (One-Trip/First Voyage) unit, this container has been used for exactly one maritime journey—typically from Asia to Europe—meaning it arrives in virtually new condition . Minor signs of handling such as superficial scuffs or scratches may be present, but structurally and aesthetically it remains near-factory quality, providing exceptional value at a 15-20% discount compared to a factory-new import .
The vibrant red exterior (available in finishes such as RAL 3002 Carmine Red or RAL 3020 Traffic Red) ensures maximum visibility on site, making this container ideal for industrial branding, event infrastructure, or construction zones where high-visibility storage is essential.
