40ft containers are the largest standard size that we offer, being the perfect solution for those customers who need to store or ship large quantities of cargo. They are made from durable corten steel and can be stacked up to 8 containers high. We offer them as once used or second-hand and they all come wind and watertight.
Our once used 40ft cargo containers are available in either blue or green, with double doors at one end and three or four locking bars with waist-high door handles for ease of use, these containers are built in China to the highest standards and used once to bring into the UK. They come with a lockbox as standard, have multiple vents for optimal air ventilation and feature a high-quality marine plywood floor.
All our once used containers are CSC Plated for 5 years from the date of manufacture, ready to be used to export cargo.
For an additional cost, they can be treated with an internal Grafo-therm anti-condensation coating.
40ft general purpose second-hand containers are offered in their original colour as standard and do not come with a lockbox. Bespoke painting options are available as well as the possibility of fitting a lockbox at an additional cost.
*Number of vents may vary on second-hand units. Second-hand units are supplied without a lockbox as standard, you can add one at an additional cost. Second-hand units are supplied in their original colour.
All our units are normally delivered by HIAB lorry. On sites with restricted access, we may need to use an alternate delivery method such as a forklift or a telescopic handler.
Our Sales Team will get in touch once you have placed the order to discuss and arrange the delivery with you. In the rare cases when we cannot get all the information about site access over the phone or using satellite and street views, we can offer a site visit to assess whether or not delivery is possible.
The maximum capacity of a lorry is the equivalent to one 40ft container. The delivery cost is calculated depending on the container size and the distance from your local depot to the provided delivery postcode when placing your order.
Please note that delivery times vary depending on stock availability, time of the year and your location.
For accurate delivery information please contact us using our contact form or by calling our customer service offices.

40ft Dry Van Container
Our 40ft shipping containers are the largest size that we offer, they are suited for the same purpose as the smaller 20ft containers while offering double the storage capacity. Available as once used or second-hand.
The age of a used container can vary considerably but usually they are sold by shipping lines after about 10 years of service.
Although some shipping containers are made of aluminium and steel, the majority are now made entirely of a rust-prohibitive steel called “Corten’’. A basic steel frame, fitted with weight-bearing castings fitted into the eight container corners, is filled in with corrugated steel panels which are between 1.5mm to 3.00mm thick. At one end is a pair of almost full width and height doors. These are normally fitted with four locking bars which interlock with the frame top and bottom. Most containers have a 27mm thick wooden ply floor which is supported on load bearing cross-bearers approximately 30cms apart, making the container capable of withstanding loads of 20 to 35 tons – depending on size.
A new container built by a reputable manufacturer will, under normal conditions, last 10 years without maintenance and continue for another 10- 20 years if serviced and maintained as advised.
The anticipated length of usage as a storage container depends on its condition at point of sale, the careful use and regular maintenance. Painting and servicing can prolong the life of a container.
