High cube containers share most of their attributes with the regular general purpose shipping containers people hire or buy.
A standard shipping container typically measures 8 feet (2.44 meters) in height, while a high cube container measures 9 feet 6 inches (2.9 meters) in height. This means that a high cube container offers an extra 1 foot 6 inches (0.46 meters) of vertical space over a standard container.
In terms of cubic space, a standard 20-foot shipping container offers approximately 1,172 cubic feet (33.18 cubic meters) of space, while a high cube 20-foot shipping container offers approximately 1,353 cubic feet (38.32 cubic meters) of space. Similarly, a standard 40-foot shipping container offers approximately 2,390 cubic feet (67.65 cubic meters) of space, while a high cube 40-foot shipping container offers approximately 2,694 cubic feet (76.25 cubic meters) of space.
Therefore, a high cube container offers roughly 181 to 304 cubic feet (5.14 to 8.6 cubic meters) more space than a standard container, depending on the size.

high cube weight limits
While high cube containers provide more storage capacity when compared to standard containers, it’s worth noting that the gross weight limit for the containers is the same when shipping. Although this is naturally irrelevant if you are just using the container for storage. But is certainly worth referencing if you’re shipping cargo interstate or overseas.
