Looking for extra height and extra storage without paying new-container prices?

Because these units are used, you get that added capacity at a lower upfront cost than buying new, with the same steel construction and secure, weatherproof storage you count on.
We keep inventory ready and offer fast, reliable delivery throughout the Kansas City area.

Our used 40 ft high cube containers are sourced and graded to give you a dependable storage unit at a fraction of the cost of new. Every container is inspected before it leaves our yard, so you know what condition you're getting — whether that's a cargo-worthy (CW) grade with minimal wear, or a wind-and-watertight (WWT) grade priced for pure storage use.
What you can expect from our used high cube inventory:
Condition and grading – Units are sorted by cosmetic and structural condition so you can choose based on budget and intended use
Inspection checks – Containers are checked for structural soundness, working doors, and weatherproofing before sale
Steel construction – Corten steel walls and roof built to handle heavy use and outdoor exposure
Secure cargo doors – Full-width double doors with working locking bars
Weather protection – Sealed seams and roofing designed to keep contents dry
Extra height – Roughly one additional foot of interior height compared to a standard 40 ft container, giving you more room to stack, store, or convert the space
Customers choose used high cube containers when they want maximum storage volume for their money — especially businesses storing taller equipment, stacked inventory, or bulky materials that a standard-height container can't comfortably fit.

We focus on honest advice, fair pricing, and long-term customer relationships.

The extra height is what sets a high cube container apart — and it makes a real difference in how much you can actually store.
This is one of our most requested container types, and we keep inventory moving through our Kansas City-area supply network.
Extra height means more room to store inventory, supplies, and equipment without expanding your footprint — ideal for retailers and businesses managing seasonal stock.
Keep tools, materials, and job-site equipment secure and dry between shifts, with enough vertical space for taller equipment and stacked materials.
Store bulky machinery, parts, and commercial supplies in a unit built to handle heavy, oversized items.
Farm equipment, feed, tools, and supplies stay protected from weather year-round, with room for taller implements.
When your existing storage runs out of room, a high cube container adds capacity fast — without the cost of leasing more warehouse space.
Buying a used 40 ft high cube container from Instant Space Containers is straightforward:
Before ordering, consider site access (delivery trucks need a clear, level approach), the ground surface where the container will sit, and whether you want a cargo-worthy or wind-and-water-tight grade based on how you plan to use it.
| Feature | Used High Cube | New High Cube |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | More affordable | Higher |
| Condition | Varies by grade | Newer condition |
| Storage capacity | High | High |
| Vertical space | High | High |
| Best for | Budget-conscious buyers | Buyers seeking new condition |
