When it comes to choosing the right type of shipping container for your needs, size is key. This is where pallet wide containers come into play. Offering all that a general-purpose shipping container offers, you also get more space and storage options than ever. While still being completely legal for transport by rail, sea or road. Which is why more and more companies are saying ‘yes’ to buying a pallet wide container over a standard general purpose container.
High Cube Pallet Wide Containers is the Answer!
A high cube offers an extra foot in height over what you’ll get from a standard shipping container. When you look at your total gain in cubic feet of storage space, that extra foot in height translates to up to an extra 344 cubic feet of storage capacity for a 40-foot container!
The wider pallet refers to greater width. If you are shipping goods, this means you’ll be able to fit more pallets within the container – you’ll also be able to reduce the chance of your goods moving around during transport because you can pack more items to get a tighter fit.

The Advantage of Building with High Cube Pallet Wide Containers
A lot of people who use repurposed shipping containers to build a home, shop, studio, or other structure, opt for the high cube pallet wide containers. This is for two reasons. First, they are better for modifications. That extra space makes it easier to comfortably fit in any customisations like built-in shelving, larger windows, ceiling lighting, cabinetry, air-conditioning, etc.
The added space is also ideal for greater versatility architecturally. You can stack more than one container to create larger, dynamic buildings. Even with a single shipping container, you’ll get a more spacious feel, creating a more welcome environment.
There’s nothing you can’t do with a shipping container. But when you step outside of the box, from standard containers to high cube pallet wide containers, the possibilities get that much bigger.
Overall, Pallet Wide containers are designed to enhance efficiency, reduce transport costs, and optimize space utilization when transporting palletized goods across various industries and sectors. Their versatility and compatibility with standard logistics infrastructure make them a preferred choice for many businesses involved in global trade and distribution.
