A used 40ft High Cube shipping container, also referred to as a used 40ft HC container, is a practical option when you need extra interior height and large storage volume at a lower cost than a new unit. Built for international freight and heavy-duty handling, these containers are designed to perform in demanding conditions. Every Viva Containers used 40ft High Cube container meets Cargo Worthy (CW) requirements and ISO standards, making it suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial use.
Most used 40ft High Cube containers have been in service for 7-12 years and often show visible signs of prior use, which may include dents, surface corrosion, scuffed paint, or original shipping line markings. This wear is expected for working containers and does not compromise weather resistance, structural strength, or door performance.
Used 40ft High Cube containers offer approximately 2,700 cubic feet of internal capacity, with increased vertical clearance compared to standard-height units. External dimensions measure 40 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 9 feet 6 inches high, resulting in a 320 square foot footprint. They are constructed from corrosion-resistant corten steel and are wind- and watertight, making them suitable for outdoor placement on residential properties, job sites, farms, and commercial locations.
Used 40ft High Cube containers are commonly used for residential storage, workshops, and property overflow, as well as for construction equipment, agricultural supplies, bulk materials, and palletized goods. The added height makes loading easier and improves organization for both household and business storage needs.
If appearance, lifespan, or near-new condition are important, consider our new 40ft High Cube shipping containers, offered in one-trip condition and backed by an extended 10-year structural warranty.
Ordering a used 40ft High Cube shipping container from Viva Containers is simple:
Used 40ft High Cube shipping container pricing and availability depend on your location.
After your order is placed, a Viva Containers representative will contact you to confirm delivery access, site conditions, and placement requirements. Each container is inspected before dispatch and again upon delivery to ensure it meets Cargo Worthy standards and is ready for immediate use.
All used 40ft High Cube containers include a 1-year structural warranty, covering door operation, floor integrity, and a leak-free roof. Exterior colors vary based on available inventory. Full coverage details are available in the Viva Containers Quality Guarantee.
