Frequently asked questions
What would I use a 40ft used cargo-worthy dry van for?
At 40ft, it offers a lot of volume in one unit, and the cargo-worthy grade means it has been graded fit for transport. Export shipping, large-scale storage, and site stores that need large capacity in one container all suit it.
What is the cargo-worthy grade?
CW is short for cargo-worthy: the container was inspected and found structurally sound, so it's fit to ship. The rating sits above wind and watertight storage units and suits transport.
How big is it, and what does it hold?
Outside, it's about 40ft by 8ft, with roughly 320 square feet of floor. Plan on around 20 to 21 standard pallets, or the contents of a three to four bedroom home, which is twice what a 20ft unit holds.
What wear should I expect on this used unit?
As a used unit, it will show surface marks, dents, and repainted patches, yet the structure meets the cargo-worthy standard. Every unit is checked before delivery, so it's sound for both shipping and storage.
How does it arrive at my site?
Delivery uses a tilt-bed (roll-off) truck: the bed tilts and the container slides off at ground level, with no crane or forklift. A 40ft unit needs a long, firm, clear run for the truck to back up and tilt, so we confirm your site access before booking.
