For whom?
Premium living space conversion (ceiling height of 2.69 m interior), pallet stackers with an extra 30 cm in height compared to standard — the original blue HC is approximately 5-10% more expensive than a standard 40-foot container, justified by the additional 30 cm of usable height.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is a blue original high cube more expensive than a standard 40' container?+
Additional cost ~5-10 % compared to equivalent standard 40'. Lower production volume (about 30% of the 40' fleet), strong demand (habitable conversion, stacked pallets). European ports also charge slightly more for high cube rotation (greater vertical obstruction). Justified investment for habitable use.
Is the blue high cube RAL 5010 still in stock?+
Yes, but with a slightly longer lead time than standard 40': 7-15 days at major European ports (vs. 5-10 days for standard 40'). For urgent delivery, check local depot stock at the time of order.
Is the blue high cube transportable like a normal 40-foot container?+
Yes — standard chassis, same turning radius. The only difference is the total loaded height: 4.30 m (vs. 4 m for standard 40'). Check bridge clearance on delivery route. Most European drivers know high cube-friendly routes.
What is the cost to repaint a high cube container blue in RAL XXX?+
€1,100-€1,600 at professional applicator (HC = ~5% surface area more than standard 40' due to height). For four visible sides only: €800-€1,100. Self-application: €400-€550 for professional polyurethane materials.
