Standard 20ft containers are too short for plant machinery, diggers, and tall equipment. This One-Trip 20ft High Cube container solves that problem directly — the extra 300mm of interior height provides the clearance that plant, attachments, and tall machinery require. Furthermore, it arrives brand-new in olive green, never previously loaded, and ready to use upon delivery.

Moreover, at 9’6″ external height and an interior clearance of 2,698mm, this unit stores compact excavators, attachments, elevated work platforms, and other plant machinery that a standard 8’6″ container simply cannot accommodate.

Additionally, the all Cor-Ten steel construction, factory-fitted lockbox, and dual locking bars on every door provide the security required for high-value plant and machinery storage on active construction and civil sites.

Applications

Plant and Excavator Storage

Compact excavators, mini diggers, and skid steers drive directly into the container via a ramp at the end door. Furthermore, the High Cube interior height accommodates the ROPS frame and cab clearance that standard containers cannot provide. As a result, the plant is stored securely on site, protected from weather and theft.

Construction Attachment and Accessory Storage

Buckets, hydraulic breakers, augers, and compaction plates store cleanly inside the container alongside the host machine. Moreover, keeping attachments with the plant reduces site logistics and prevents attachment damage from outdoor exposure.

Elevated Work Platform Storage

Compact scissor lifts, boom lifts, and elevated work platforms with folded mast heights exceeding

Civil and Infrastructure Site Storage

Civil contractors store survey equipment, generators, compressors, and pumps alongside plant machinery. Additionally, the clean One-Trip interior protects sensitive equipment from dust, moisture, and contamination from previous cargo residue.
