For Clean 40ft Shipping Container.
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.
Looking for a large, secure storage solution without paying the price of a new container? This clean used 40ft shipping container provides plenty of enclosed space for business storage, equipment, inventory, construction materials and other suitable cargo.
A 40ft container is one of the largest standard shipping container sizes, giving you roughly twice the floor area of a 20ft unit while maintaining the familiar secure steel construction. This used container has been inspected before dispatch and is wind and watertight, making it a practical choice for both commercial and personal storage.
This 40ft shipping container offers a useful combination of capacity, security and value. With approximately 2,390 cubic feet of internal volume, it gives businesses and property owners substantial enclosed storage without the need to construct a permanent building.
The standard 40ft format also makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, from storing business inventory and machinery to creating a workshop, warehouse extension or custom container conversion.
The 40ft length provides considerable storage capacity while retaining the standard 8ft width and approximately 8ft 6in external height of a standard-height container. The internal space is suitable for pallets, tools, equipment, stock, building materials and many other items.
Built around a heavy-duty steel frame with corrugated steel walls and roof, the container is designed for demanding transport and outdoor storage environments. The steel shell provides a strong physical barrier around the contents and requires relatively little day-to-day maintenance.
The double cargo doors at one end provide a wide opening for loading and unloading larger items. Working door seals help protect the interior from normal weather exposure, while the locking arrangement allows you to secure the container with an appropriate padlock and lockbox.
This unit is wind and watertight, making it suitable for outdoor storage when positioned correctly on an appropriate foundation. The enclosed steel structure helps keep stored goods protected from rain, wind, dust and other external conditions.

Container dimensions can vary slightly between manufacturers and individual units. If you are planning to install shelving, store machinery or load specific equipment, confirm the exact dimensions and door opening of the available container before purchase.
The generous floor area makes a 40ft container particularly useful when you need more storage than a 20ft unit can provide. It can be used for a wide variety of commercial, industrial, agricultural and personal applications.
For businesses experiencing a temporary shortage of warehouse space, a 40ft storage container can provide additional capacity without committing to a larger permanent facility.
This is a used shipping container that has previously been in service. It remains wind and watertight, with no holes, working door seals and an intact roof.
As with any used container, you should expect evidence of previous service. Surface rust, dents, scratches, fading and previous owner markings can occur. These cosmetic signs are normal for a used container and do not necessarily affect its suitability for secure storage.
Every unit is inspected before leaving our yard so that its condition can be assessed before delivery.
A used container can be an attractive option when your priority is secure storage and usable space rather than a factory-fresh appearance. The larger 40ft format gives you substantial capacity, while choosing a used unit can help keep the initial purchase cost lower than buying a new or one-trip container.
If appearance, minimal previous wear or specific modifications are important to your project, a new container may be worth considering instead. The right choice ultimately depends on how you intend to use the container, your budget and the condition you require.
A 40ft shipping container can be modified for many purposes beyond straightforward storage. Depending on the project, modifications may include additional personnel doors, windows, ventilation, insulation, electrical systems, shelving, internal lining and exterior painting.
If you already know that the container will eventually become an office, workshop, retail unit or another type of conversion, specifying suitable modifications before delivery can be more efficient than arranging the work after the container has been installed at your site.

Containers used for international transport are subject to the Convention for Safe Containers (CSC), administered through the International Maritime Organization. Industry inspection and condition terminology for intermodal containers is also used by organizations such as the Institute of International Container Lessors.
A container being suitable for static storage does not automatically mean it is approved for international shipping. If you intend to use this particular unit for ocean or international transport, contact us before purchase so we can confirm the container's CSC plate and relevant documentation.
Delivery is quoted according to your site access rather than offered at a single flat rate. The final cost can depend on the distance, road conditions, site approach and unloading requirements.
A 40ft container requires adequate space for the delivery vehicle to access the property and position the unit safely. A clear and reasonably level approach is recommended, with sufficient room for the delivery equipment to operate.
We assess your delivery requirements and provide the delivery cost before you commit to the purchase.
This container provides approximately 2,390 cubic feet of internal volume, with approximate internal dimensions of 39ft 5in long × 7ft 8in wide × 7ft 10in high. The actual amount you can store depends on the size, shape and arrangement of your goods.
Yes. This unit is described as wind and watertight, with no holes, working door seals and an intact roof. As a used container, it may still have normal cosmetic signs such as surface rust, dents or scratches.
It depends on how much space you need. A 40ft container provides substantially more storage capacity and can be a better choice for large inventories, equipment or business storage. A 20ft container may be more practical where site space, access or budget is limited.
Yes. A 40ft container is widely suited to business inventory, tools, equipment, construction materials, archives and warehouse overflow. It provides a secure enclosed space without requiring a permanent building extension.
Yes. The large internal footprint makes a 40ft container a useful foundation for offices, workshops and other custom spaces. Insulation, windows, doors, electrical systems, ventilation and interior finishes can be added depending on the intended use.
Only if the specific unit has the appropriate approval and documentation for that purpose. A used container intended for storage should not automatically be assumed to have valid shipping certification. Ask us to confirm the container's CSC status before purchasing it for international transport.
Delivery depends on your location and site access. The delivery vehicle needs a suitable approach and enough room to safely position the container. We quote delivery based on the actual site requirements rather than applying a generic flat-rate charge.
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.
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.
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.

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 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.
