20ft High Cube Container Overview
The 20ft high cube is the ultimate all-rounder in industrial and residential Perth. Six metres long, two-point-nine metres tall, and boasting 37.4 cubic metres of weatherproof internal volume, it offers the perfect balance of serious storage capacity and a compact footprint. It’s the container of choice for residential placements, pop-up retail modifications, and worksites where space is at a premium but vertical volume is essential.
The height advantage matters more than people realise. Standard containers sit at 2.39m internal height—by the time you frame, insulate, and line them, you’ve got 2.2m of headroom, which feels tight for anyone over six foot. The 20ft high cube starts at 2.69m internally, making a fully fitted-out office, workshop, or accommodation unit feel like a proper room. For unmodified storage, the extra 300mm lets you stack pallets higher, store taller machinery, or just pack more in without expanding your ground footprint.
Construction relies on marine-grade Corten weathering steel walls, a 28mm structural plywood floor rated for heavy traffic, and full-width double doors at the rear that swing 270 degrees against the side walls. Unlike standard 40ft units, 20ft containers feature built-in forklift pockets for easier on-site repositioning. Every unit is wind-and-watertight on delivery and carries current ISO 668 and CSC certification.
Premium Used ($3,450) are cargo-worthy units that have made a few international voyages. Structurally sound and fully sealed, with cosmetic wear typical of working containers—small dents, surface rust on the corrugations, faded paint. Inspect them yourself at our depot.
New 1-Trip ($4,890) are factory-fresh containers shipped once from Asia. Pristine paint inside and out, no rust, no dents. These are what we recommend for any modification project, customer-facing application, or long-term placement where appearance matters.

Common Applications
Site Offices & Security Huts
The 20ft high cube modified out as a dual-person office, ticketing booth, or compact site hub is a staple across WA worksites, providing high ceilings in a small footprint.
Compact Workshop
Six metres of internal length easily houses a heavy-duty workbench, tool storage, parts shelving, and enough floor space to operate comfortably.
Bulk & Palletised Storage
Ten Australian standard pallets fit securely on the floor of a 20ft high cube. The extra headroom allows for double-stacking of many lighter goods.
Equipment Storage
Quad bikes, ride-on mowers, small earthmoving attachments, and scaffolding gear fit perfectly. The 2.58m door height accepts tall equipment without hassle.
Custom Modification Base
Cafes, pop-up bars, ablution blocks, and specialized backyard studios are almost exclusively built on 20ft high cubes for their ideal proportions and ceiling height.
Residential Moves & Storage
If you’re moving or renovating, a 20ft high cube generally holds the contents of a 1-to-2 bedroom home.
