Straight answer
Both have the same width and length. The High Cube adds one additional foot of exterior height and extra vertical storage capacity.
A High Cube can be useful when stacked storage or forklift clearance matters. It is not always better, and it is not available in every rental market.
A High Cube uses the same 40ft footprint as a standard 40-foot container. Delivery is by tractor-trailer: 80ft of additional delivery space, for a total of 120ft of required delivery space.
Confirm overhead clearance for the taller unit before delivery.
