40ft x 8ft shipping container Multistore

A 40ft shipping container in used condition — in service and structurally sound. Chosen for general cargo and secure storage. Every unit is inspected before it leaves our yard, so the grade below is what you will actually receive.

Product Description
The 40ft x 8ft shipping container Multistore is a specialized cargo unit designed to provide multiple individual storage compartments within a single ISO-standard structure . Manufactured from weathering steel, this unit serves as a practical solution for operators requiring segregated storage space in a compact footprint. It functions as a standard intermodal container while offering internal subdivision for organized storage.
Key Features

Multi-Compartment Design: The container is fabricated with internal steel divider walls, creating distinct, separate storage spaces accessed via individual doors .

Corten Steel Construction: Built from corrosion-resistant steel, the structure is engineered to withstand diverse environmental conditions .

Individual Compartment Access: Each storage cell is fitted with its own lockable door mechanism and integrated lockbox for secure access control .

Ventilation System: Units include integrated air vents positioned to facilitate airflow through each compartment, reducing moisture accumulation .

Marine-Grade Flooring: The floor is constructed from hardwood with a protective coating to support load handling and resist wear .

Detailed DescriptionThe 40ft Multistore container transforms the standard dry freight envelope into a multi-user storage asset. It is manufactured to the same ISO specifications as a standard 40ft container, ensuring compatibility with existing transport and handling equipment . The primary modification involves the integration of steel bulkheads that divide the interior into smaller, self-contained units.
Each compartment is equipped with its own side-access door, allowing multiple users to access their specific storage area independently without disturbing adjacent spaces . The doors feature easy-open handle systems and are fitted with lockboxes to accommodate user-supplied locks. This configuration is frequently utilized in self-storage facilities to offer smaller unit sizes at ground level or elevated positions when stacked . The container retains its structural integrity for stacking, making it suitable for multi-level storage sites.

Compatibility / Intended UseThis container is configured for static storage applications requiring secure unit segregation. It is compatible with standard forklift and crane handling equipment via its corner castings . The unit is intended for:

Self-Storage Facilities: Offering small to medium-sized storage rooms within a single container footprint .

Construction Sites: Providing separate, lockable storage for different trades or material types.

Industrial Sites: Segregating inventory or equipment for different departments or contractors.

Package Includes

1 x 40ft Multistore shipping container as specified

Individual lockboxes on each compartment door

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

This is a used container that has been in service. It is wind and watertight — no holes, working door seals, an intact roof — but it shows its history: surface rust, dents and previous owner markings are normal and do not affect how it performs.

What it is good for

This unit is commonly used for general cargo and secure storage. 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.
