How wide is a Shipping Container? 

All cargo-grade shipping containers are manufactured to a standard external width of 2.44 meters for global shipping compatibility. The internal width of the shipping container will be 2.35 meters. This measurement applies to both 6M and 12M standard and high cube containers.

Standard vs High-Cube Containers

• Standard Containers: 2.59m tall

• High Cube Containers: 2.89m tall

We stock both standard and high-cube containers throughout South Africa. The 12-meter High Cube container is our best seller due to its additional vertical storage space. Standard height units are often chosen when delivery sites have height restrictions, such as low eaves, trees, or building overhangs.
