Description
The 20ft One-Trip High Cube Container from Atlas Container Supply is a top-quality, wind- and watertight steel unit engineered for secure, long-lasting performance.
This 20ft one-trip high cube container with side sliding door is a new, near-new condition unit purpose-configured for the storage of IBC tanks (Intermediate Bulk Containers) and other large industrial vessels — accommodating up to 16 × 1,000-liter IBC tanks within the standard 20ft footprint. The 9ft 6in high cube profile provides the additional internal height required to load and position full-height IBC tanks — typically 1,160mm tall — with sufficient clearance above for forklift tine manoeuvre and stack positioning, without the overhead restriction of a standard 8ft 6in container.
The access configuration features two independent door openings on different faces: a sliding door on the 20ft side for wide lateral access to the full interior length, and standard double-hinged cargo doors at the 8ft end for conventional end loading. The side sliding door moves horizontally along a track — requiring no vertical clearance above like a roller shutter and no outward swing clearance like a hinged door — making it well suited to warehouse and factory environments where overhead or adjacent obstructions limit door type options. Both door openings are fitted with two locking bars each and factory-fitted lockboxes for secure closure. Sliding door opening dimensions are not confirmed — verify the exact width and height with Atlas Container Supply before ordering if IBC forklift access clearance through the side door is a critical requirement.
The container carries a valid CSC plate certifying it for international shipping use at a maximum gross weight of 30 tonnes — meaning the unit retains its freight certification for transport or export operations in addition to static storage use. The floor is 28mm marine-grade plywood on steel cross-members, providing a load-rated base for heavy IBC tank loads distributed across the full floor area. Two forklift pockets on each side allow repositioning of the loaded unit without requiring manual unloading first. Four vents provide passive airflow to manage condensation.
For guidance on IBC tank storage regulatory requirements in the USA, refer to EPA SPCC regulations if the tanks contain oil or hazardous liquids, and confirm secondary containment requirements with your environmental compliance officer before siting.

- Container conversions needing headroom
- General high-volume storage
Construction & Durability
This 20ft steel shipping container uses factory-fresh one-trip steel over a welded steel underframe with cross-members on close centers, which is why the floor takes forklift traffic without deflecting. The roof is a single corrugated sheet — no seams across the span to leak. The high-cube profile adds a foot of interior headroom over a standard-height unit, which matters for racking, tall pallets, and any fit-out with a ceiling.
Delivery & Site Preparation
The 20ft steel shipping container goes out on a free tilt-bed run with delivery windows confirmed ahead of the date. Allow about 75ft of clear, straight approach so the bed can tilt and slide the unit off. Gravel over compacted base is the cheapest pad that actually works; bare soil will pull moisture and settle unevenly through a wet season.
