40ft Shipping Container
The 40ft Shipping Container is twice the length of the 20ft variant, which means twice the internal storage volume. It is a good choice for large sites with a high volume of storage needs.
Key Features
Product Description
Built from weathering carbon steel, these units are secure from wind, water, vermin and thieves.
The longer and less commonly available 40ft container is suited to large sites with ample space for onsite storage. Measuring just over 12 metres long, these usually do not suit standard residential blocks, although they can be squeezed onto large driveways in some cases.
Given the large internal volume, they are often used for more than just household or business goods storage. They are an affordable and ready-made alternate solution to sheds or workshops. They can store machinery and equipment parts, or be used for site offices or accommodation away from the main building, with some minor modifications.
Whatever you store in your 40ft shipping container, you can rest assured it will be safe.

A new shipping container will ensure quality and longevity, while a used container will save you money.
For cargo to be transported internationally, the container must have a valid CSC (Container Safety Convention) plate, which verifies that safety inspections have been performed. Our ‘New’ grade containers ensure CSC approval, as well as clean interiors.
While our ‘B’ grade containers may have marked interiors & some exterior corrosion, they remain windtight & watertight.
For less critical applications, you may save cost with a ‘C’ grade container, which will show more advanced corrosion.
