Description
A 40ft high cube shipping container in excellent structural condition — a used shell selected on the criteria that matter to storage and conversion work rather than on appearance. It offers an extra foot of vertical space over a standard 40ft box, which is what makes it a sensible starting point for oversized equipment, stacked inventory or a modular build. Where it differs from ordinary used stock is consistency: the floor, the door gear and the frame have all been checked and passed rather than merely graded wind and watertight in bulk.
Dimensions
- External: 12.19 × 2.44 × 2.90 m (40 ft 0 in × 8 ft 0 in × 9 ft 6 in)
- Internal: approximately 12.00 × 2.35 × 2.70 m (39 ft 4 in × 7 ft 9 in × 8 ft 10 in)
- Door opening: approximately 2.34 m wide × 2.59 m high (7 ft 8 in × 8 ft 6 in)
Condition and specification
- Solid marine-grade wood flooring with no major damage or soft spots
- Double doors that open and close smoothly, with secure locking gear
- Wind and water tight — sealed against the weather
- Structurally sound: no rust-through, no holes and no frame issues
- High cube profile for extra headroom over larger loads or interior fit-out
Why this one suits conversions
- A framed and insulated ceiling is absorbed by the extra foot of height, with standing room left over
- Door and window frames weld into clean corrugated walls that give fabricators a straight surface
- An intact floor: no costly sub-floor replacement needed before the fit-out
- Craning or a later relocation is no problem: square corner posts and castings keep the shell stable
Setting expectations on appearance
“Excellent condition” here describes structure, not paintwork. Expect original shipping line paint, some surface rust and light dents — this is a container that has worked. If the finish matters because the unit will be visible or will carry branding, plan a respray into your budget; on a shell in this condition that is straightforward, because there is no corrosion repair to do first. Our shipping container buyers guide sets out the differences between grades if you want them spelled out before committing.
Delivery, siting and cover
Free delivery applies UK-wide, taking in Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey, and no VAT is added at checkout so the price shown is what you pay. If the unit is destined for a conversion, think about final position before delivery rather than after — once you have cut openings and fitted out, moving the shell becomes a much bigger job, so get the pad level and the orientation right first time. A tilt-bed needs a straight approach and around 18 m of firm ground; crane or HIAB offload is agreed in writing before delivery. Sold wind and water tight, the unit is covered for 3 months from delivery against water ingress and door operation, and separately you keep your statutory rights: 14 days to change your mind under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, and 30 days to reject the goods if they are faulty.
