Good for
- Conversions into offices, shops or living space
- Tall machinery, stacked pallets and racking

Watch for
- Check overhead clearance on site, since the box sits higher on the truck.
- The taller doors still have a lip at the bottom. Plan a ramp if you'll roll things in.
- Price difference against a standard 40 varies by region. Ask for both.
