Need more storage capacity than a standard unit can provide? Our 45-foot containers for sale give you roughly 3,040 cubic feet of heavy-duty, weatherproof storage that you own outright. Every 45-foot is a high cube, which means a full foot of extra height over a standard 40-foot.

How Much Does a 45-Foot Container Cost?
A 45-foot high cube is the largest standard container, so it costs more than a 40-foot, and supply is tighter. Here are typical 2026 market ranges before delivery.
Condition | 45-Foot High Cube |
New (one-trip) | $4,500 to $7,000 |
Used (cargo-worthy or WWT) | $2,500 to $4,500 |
Because 45-foot units are less common, availability and price swing more by region than the standard sizes. Delivery is a separate cost that we quote up front. Sitting minutes from the Port of Newark-Elizabeth helps us source these harder-to-find units and keep Northeast pricing competitive. For an exact figure, request a quote and we will confirm grade, current availability, and delivery to your address.
Why Buy a 45-Foot Storage Container?
A 45-foot container gives you more usable space than any standard unit on the market, and buying eliminates monthly costs for good. It is a smart investment for businesses and properties that need permanent, on-site storage.
More Storage Capacity
The extra length and the high-cube height give you roughly 650 more cubic feet than a standard 40-foot container. That is enough room for additional pallets, longer materials, or taller equipment that would not fit in a smaller unit.
Secure Double-Door
Wide double doors make loading and unloading fast, even for palletized or oversized items. Heavy-duty locking hardware and a padlock cover plate keep everything inside protected at all times.
Reinforced Steel Design
Made from high-strength Corten steel, these containers handle rough conditions, daily commercial use, and years of outdoor exposure. They are a solid, long-term storage asset for industrial yards, job sites, and busy facilities.
Built for Large-Scale Operations
Whether you need permanent job site storage, warehouse overflow capacity, or a dedicated equipment bay, the 45-foot container fits large operations that outgrow standard options. Owning means you move it between sites on your own schedule.

Used 45-Foot High Cube Containers for Sale in New Jersey
The 45-foot is a high cube container, so every unit gives you a full foot of extra height over a standard 40-foot. Used 45-foot high cubes are a real, ISO-built shipping size, but supply is thinner than 20-foot and 40-foot units, so availability moves quickly. We stock both new and used 45-foot high cubes at our Kearny, NJ depot, including hard-to-find units.
Used 45-foot containers are graded by condition:
- One-Trip (sold as new): One ocean voyage from the factory. Near-new, with clean floors and minimal rust. Best for client-facing sites, conversions, and sensitive inventory.
- Cargo-Worthy (CW): Certified for international shipping with a valid CSC plate. Structurally solid, with surface rust and minor dents. A strong pick for storage and resale flexibility.
- Wind and Water Tight (WWT): Sealed against weather, with more cosmetic wear and no current shipping certification. The value choice for ground-level storage.
Most used 45-foot high cubes in service are 8 to 15 years old. They may carry shipping-line markings or be repainted, but each one we sell is inspected, wind- and water-tight, and structurally sound. You own it outright from day one, with no monthly payments and no return date.
New or used: which should you buy? Buy a one-trip unit for offices, conversions, or anything on display. Buy used CW or WWT for storage and job sites where function matters more than looks.

Best Uses for Buying a 45-Foot Shipping Container
45-foot containers are the right investment for operations that need more room than a standard unit provides. Buying makes the most financial sense for storage needs lasting 10 months or longer. Here is where purchased 45-foot containers stand out:
Store oversized equipment, long materials, scaffolding, and high-volume supplies in one secure unit. Construction companies that run multiple projects buy containers and move them between sites as needed. The extra length fits items that do not fit cleanly in a 40-foot unit.
Keep furniture, vehicles, tools, and household items secure during extended renovations, moves, or long-term projects. Homeowners who need space for more than a year save money by buying rather than paying monthly self-storage fees. A 45-foot unit provides room for an entire household.
Safely store furniture, fixtures, and equipment during hotel renovations or large remodeling projects. The 45-foot size reduces the number of containers needed on-site, saving space and cost on multi-phase projects.
Organize and protect your auto parts inventory with a dedicated 45-foot container. The full-length interior handles oversized components, tire stock, and shop equipment while shielding everything from dust, moisture, and theft.
Add permanent storage capacity without building an extension or leasing additional warehouse space. A purchased 45-foot container handles bulk shipments, raw materials, or seasonal overflow in one secure, weather-tight location.
Plan ahead for busy seasons by storing holiday or promotional inventory in a permanent, accessible container. Retail businesses that cycle through seasonal stock every year save money by owning rather than renting storage each time.

Delivery and Placement Requirements
Because of their extended length, 45-foot containers require proper planning before delivery. Our container trucking team coordinates every detail with you.
- Space Requirements: Plan for at least 110 to 125 feet of straight-line space for delivery and placement. A 45-foot needs more clearance than a 20-foot or 40-foot unit.
- Ground Conditions: A level surface like gravel, asphalt, or concrete works best. Soft ground can cause settling.
- Access: Ensure clear entry with no tight turns or overhead obstructions. The delivery path needs at least 12 feet of width.
- Door Positioning: Decide placement and door orientation ahead of time. Repositioning a 45-foot container after delivery requires a forklift or crane.
- Inspect at Delivery: Review the container on-site before signing off. Our units are depot-inspected, but we want you to confirm condition at arrival.
Our team will review your site details when you request a quote and flag any access concerns before scheduling delivery.
Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes of storage containers do you sell?
We sell 10-foot, 20-foot, 40-foot, 40-foot high cube, and 45-foot containers. We also offer units with double doors and roll-up doors. Browse all sizes on our container sales page.
Is a 45-foot container a high cube?
Yes. 45-foot containers are built as high cubes, at 9 feet 6 inches tall on the outside and about 8 feet 10 inches inside. That is a full foot taller than a standard 40-foot container, which gives you roughly 650 more cubic feet of space.
How much does a 45-foot shipping container cost?
In 2026, a used 45-foot high cube typically runs $2,500 to $4,500, and a new one-trip unit runs $4,500 to $7,000, before delivery. Because 45-foot units are less common, price and availability vary more by region. Request a quote for an exact, delivered figure.
Are your storage containers weatherproof and secure?
Yes. All our containers are built with marine-grade Corten steel, wind- and water-tight seals, and padlock cover plates. Your stored goods stay protected from weather, theft, and tampering.
What is the difference between a new and used 45-foot container?
A new (one-trip) container has been used once to ship cargo overseas. It arrives in near-factory condition. A used container has served in active shipping service and shows cosmetic wear but remains structurally sound and wind- and water-tight. Both are ready for long-term storage.
Do I need a permit to place a container in New Jersey?
Temporary placement on private property or an active job site usually needs no permit. Permanent placement may require local zoning approval. Any modified or occupied container must meet the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code. Check with your municipality before delivery.
How does delivery work when I buy a container?
After you confirm your order, we schedule delivery from the depot closest to your site. A 45-foot container needs a flat, level surface and at least 110 to 125 feet of straight clearance for the truck to set it. Our container trucking team coordinates timing with you and the driver calls when en route. Inspect the unit at delivery before signing off.
Can I modify a container after I buy it?
Yes. Common modifications include roll-up doors, side-entry doors, ventilation, electrical wiring, insulation, and shelving. We also sell custom-built containers if you need a turnkey solution built to your specifications.
