Reduced Height for Transport, Storage, and Height-Sensitive Applications

Buy 20-foot Low Cube Containers

The 20-foot Low Cube Container is the right choice if you want to utilize the footprint of a classic shipping container but have limited height clearance.

With an external height of approximately 2.44 m it is below the standard dimensions of a normal 20-foot container, making it particularly suitable for projects with height restrictions, low overhead clearances, specific transport requirements, or compact technical and storage solutions.

Typical external dimensions are approximately 6,058 x 2,438 x 2,438 mm, internally at 5,898 x 2,350 x 2,240 mm.

Your Benefits at a Glance

  • reduced height with the standard 20-foot footprint
  • ideal for height restrictions during transport or at the installation site
  • robust steel construction for storage and intermodal use
  • suitable for compact, heavy, or low-profile goods
  • available on request with transport, accessories, and custom modifications

This design is particularly interesting when standard containers are too high, but the usable floor space needs to be maintained. Especially for technical applications, compact storage concepts, or specific transport requirements, this offers an economically sensible compromise.

    Availability and Price

    Low Cube containers are significantly more specialized than standard or high-cube containers. Therefore, their price and availability depend more heavily on condition, depot location, batch, and current market situation than with common standard sizes. For a reliable offer, we will check the suitable version, the most economical procurement method, and the most sensible transport solution for you. This classification as specialized is based on the significantly smaller market supply compared to standard containers, as also shown in specialized container finders and dealer offers.

    For your inquiry, the following information is helpful:

    • Location of Use
    • desired quantity
    • planned purpose of use
    • New or Used Condition
    • Transport and Unloading Requirements
    • desired modifications or accessories

    Construction and Features

    Low Cube containers are based on the proven dry van principle and are designed for robust use in storage and logistics. Typical features include a Corten steel construction, a hardwood floor, a double door at the end as well as the robust construction typical for container handling. Depending on the version, additional features such as Lockbox or forklift pockets are included.

    When is a Low Cube container the right choice?

    A Low Cube container makes sense when height is the decisive factor . This applies not only to transport but also to subsequent setup and use. Compared to a standard container, the footprint remains the same, while the overall height is reduced. This creates a solution that is technically sound, space-saving, and often logistically easier to handle.

    Typical applications

    • Installation sites with low clearance or limited overhead structures
    • Shipments with height-critical profiles
    • Technical or industrial applications with a compact design
    • Heavy or dense goods that do not require full internal height
    • Special projects where standard or high-cube containers are too tall

    Low Cube, Standard, or High Cube – what's the difference?

    The main difference lies in the external and internal height:

    • Standard Container: approx. 2.59 m external height
    • Low Cube Container: approx. 2.44 m external height
    • High Cube Container: approx. 2.89 m external height

    Delivery throughout Germany – with suitable logistics

    Low Cube containers can be integrated into existing transport chains like other sea containers. The practical advantage is particularly evident where the total height in road transport, on carrier systems, or at the destination should remain as low as possible. Depending on the project, we organize delivery by crane truck, placement on a prepared surface, or – if sensible – collection from the depot. m3 delivers containers throughout Germany and works with a reliable logistics network for this purpose.

    Our Consultation: technically sound, economically minded

    Not every project requires a Low Cube container. That's precisely why at m3, we don't just look at availability, but at the question of which solution truly makes sense technically and economically. If a standard container or another special design is a better fit, we'll tell you openly. If a Low Cube is the right choice, we'll precisely coordinate procurement, transport, setup, and any necessary adjustments for your application.
