40ft Shipping Containers

One of our most popular products, 40ft shipping containers offer unbeatable storage capacity for a wide range of items.

Product

40ft shipping containers are the largest standard containers on the market and offer unbeatable storage capacity. Able to comfortably fit the contents of a large home, 40ft containers are commonly used by international trade operators, domestic freight companies, as well as relocation companies and similar providers. They can also be useful in domestic environments, making them the perfect allrounder.

Our 40ft shipping containers are very secure and can protect valuable goods from theft, pests, and weather damage. All of our shipping containers are manufactured from high-quality corten steel with marine plywood flooring and vents included. As a standardised size in the logistics sector they are also perfect for shipping.

Available in both new and used condition, the flexibility of a 40ft shipping container makes them ideal for container conversion projects. With the ability to add doors, electrics, plumbing, and other amenities, our conversions department can transform any 40ft container into a bespoke structure capable of more than just storage.
