20ft High Cube Shipping Container (9ft 6in) for IBC Storage

Sixteen 1,000-litre IBCs will fit inside this container — that single number is why most buyers end up here. A standard 20ft container is 2.39 m to the ceiling and a caged IBC on a pallet is an awkward fit; the high cube adds roughly 300 mm of headroom, which is enough to stack and to get a forklift tine clear. This unit also opens on one 20ft side as well as at the 8ft end, so you can load across the face of the container instead of reaching in from one end.

It is a one-trip container, CSC plated to 30 tonnes gross, with a 28 mm marine plywood floor and four vents.

Specifications

Storing liquids inside a container

The container itself is not a bunded store. If the IBCs hold dangerous goods you will need spill containment under them — either bunded pallets inside this unit, or one of our purpose-built bunded stores where a welded steel bund is part of the container. What your site needs is determined by AS 1940 and your state regulator, not by us.

Sizing it against your yard

High cubes need more vertical clearance on delivery than most people allow for, particularly under carport eaves and powerlines. Check heights in the dimensions guide, see the rest of the high cube range, or compare the standard-height 20ft containers if the extra 300 mm is not doing anything for you.
