40Ft Used Shipping Container

40ft Used Shipping Container for Sale

The 40ft used shipping container is the largest standard size available and one of the most cost-effective ways to store furniture, machinery, and bulk materials on site. These genuine ex-shipping-line units are built entirely from Corten steel, guaranteed structurally sound and wind and water tight, and ready for years more service as secure storage. If you want maximum capacity at a budget-friendly price, this is the box that delivers.

A Proven, Cost-Effective Storage Solution

Measuring 40ft x 8ft, a used container gives you roughly 12 metres of secure, lockable space for a wide range of products and materials. It’s equally at home behind a warehouse, on a farm, or at a construction site. Two locking bars on each door and CSC plating — the certification for international shipping — mean these units are genuinely cargo-worthy, not just static storage.

Modify It to Fit Your Needs

Beyond straight storage, this container is a strong base for conversion. Our modification service can line and insulate the interior, fit personnel doors and windows, or repaint it in any RAL colour you choose (at additional cost), turning the raw box into a workshop, office, or purpose-built store.

Used, cargo-worthy grade means the container has carried freight and shows cosmetic wear such as surface scuffs and dents, but it remains solid and sealed — ideal when value matters more than a flawless finish. Check that your site has a level, well-drained pad and clear access for a delivery truck to reach and offload a 40-foot unit.
