What it is good for
A 40ft container suits large amounts of stock, packaging and archives, winter storage for boats, trailers or farm machinery, and the main store on a building site. For more height, choose the used 40ft high cube with 2698 mm inside height.
CW or WWT?
If the 40ft container will stay on your premises as storage, a WWT container is the cheapest choice. For shipping, choose a CW container with a valid CSC plate.
Site and base
A 40ft container needs a level area about 13 m long. Usually concrete blocks go under the corners with an extra support in the middle, so the long floor does not sag. See container foundation and delivery.
Delivery
We bring a 40ft container with a large crane truck (17-21 t lifting capacity, 12-14 m reach) or a side loader that sets it down right beside the truck. You need a clear spot about 13 m long that the truck can reach. Unsure about the size? Read 20ft or 40ft container. Containers in stock are under Containers in stock.
