Frequently asked questions
Which uses suit a 40ft used standard container?
High capacity at a budget price, for big home, farm, and site storage jobs. At 40ft it holds the most per unit, which suits bulk goods, machinery, and long-term storage on site.
What does standard mean on a 40ft unit?
Standard means the regular 8ft 6in external height, not a high cube, which stands one foot taller. It's the common 40ft format, sold here as used storage stock, not the certified cargo-worthy grade.
What shape is it in?
Because this is used stock, expect surface rust, dents, and patched paint from earlier service, though the interior is sound and dry. Each unit is inspected and graded before delivery and confirmed wind and watertight.
What are its dimensions and capacity?
It's about 40ft by 8ft outside, roughly 320 square feet of floor, double a 20ft unit. That fits around 20 to 21 pallets or the contents of a three to four bedroom home.
How is it delivered and placed on site?
Your site gets checked before anything ships: a 40ft unit needs a long, clear, firm run so the truck can reverse and tilt. Then a tilt-bed (roll-off) truck lowers the container onto the ground, with no crane or forklift involved.
