The primary advantage of a high cube shipping container vs a standard steel storage container is cargo volume. A high cube container has 2,694 cu ft of storage space compared to 2,350 cu ft of storage space for a standard unit, resulting in 344 additional cu. ft. for a high cube unit. Both units have a maximum gross weight of 67,200 lbs, so the high cube container is only useful if you are able to fill the container while staying under the maximum gross weight or if you aren't planning on shipping your container.
