Container rentals
40ft × 8ft × 9.5ft
A 40-foot High Cube shipping container combines the floor space of a 40-foot container with an additional foot of exterior height. That additional height provides more cubic storage capacity for projects where vertical clearance and volume are useful.

Straight answer
Both have approximately the same exterior length and width. The High Cube is one foot taller externally.
A High Cube can be useful when the additional vertical space matters for the materials, equipment or inventory being stored. It is not always better, and it is not available in every rental market.
A High Cube uses the same approximate footprint length as a standard 40-foot container, so placement length is similar — but confirm overhead clearance for the taller unit.
