40ft Side Door Container — One-trip

A 40ft side door container in one-trip condition — a single loaded voyage from the factory. Chosen for full-length access along one side. Every unit is inspected before it leaves our yard, so the grade below is what you will actually receive.

The 40ft High Cube Container with 2 Side Doors is a versatile storage solution designed for businesses requiring robust, secure space. As a “One Trip” unit, it presents a higher-grade alternative to standard used containers, typically retaining factory paint and structural integrity without the dents or rust commonly found on containers with longer service histories.
The defining feature of this unit is the integration of two side doors. Located on the 40-foot length side panel, these doors transform the functionality of the container by creating a “drive-through” style access point. This is particularly beneficial for construction sites or farms where materials need to be accessed from the side without unloading everything from the rear. The doors are fitted with locking rods and security seals to maintain the same level of security as the rear doors.
Constructed from 14-gauge weathering steel, the container maintains structural rigidity and is stackable. It arrives flat-packed and is assembled for delivery, ensuring dimensional accuracy and structural integrity. The powder-coated exterior and zinc-plated lock gear offer corrosion resistance, ensuring longevity even in outdoor environments.

Dimensions and capacity

Internal dimensions are approximately 39 ft 5 in × 7 ft 8 in × 7 ft 10 in (12,032 × 2,350 × 2,393 mm), giving 2,390 cu ft (67.7 m³) of usable space, with double doors at one end. These are the standard figures for a 40ft container; exact internals vary slightly by manufacturer.

Condition

One-trip means the container has made exactly one loaded journey from the factory, so it is close to new. Expect sound paint, a clean floor and doors that seal properly, with only minor transit marks.

What it is good for

This unit is commonly used for full-length access along one side. Doors, windows, insulation, electrics and paint can all be added before it ships — it is cheaper and neater to specify a conversion while the container is still in our yard than to modify it on your site afterwards.

Standards and inspection

Containers intended for international shipping carry a valid safety approval plate under the Convention for Safe Containers, administered by the International Maritime Organization. Condition grades such as cargo-worthy follow the inspection criteria published by the Institute of International Container Lessors. If you need a unit for shipping rather than static storage, tell us and we will confirm its plate before dispatch.

Delivery

Delivery is quoted against your site access rather than published as a flat rate, because haulage for a container depends on the distance, the approach and whether a crane is needed. Most deliveries use a tilt-bed truck, which needs a clear and reasonably level run about twice the container length. We price it before you commit.
