Description
40ft Used Storage Container — Standard
This is our plain, no-frills 40 ft: ex-shipping-line steel bought for storage rather than looks. Every unit is checked by our technical team before sale and supplied wind and watertight, which is the guarantee that actually matters when the contents have to stay dry through a winter.
Forty feet gives roughly 12 m of internal length — about twice a 20 ft unit for well short of twice the money, which is why it is the default choice for bulk site storage, seasonal stock and anything measured in truckloads rather than pallets.
Expect honest cosmetics. These have worked for a living: dents, surface scrapes and patch paint are normal and we do not pretend otherwise. If the container needs to look presentable, or if you want the extra foot of internal headroom for racking or tall plant, the high cube and Grade A options are the ones to compare against.

Compare and Arrange Delivery
This is our plain, no-frills 40ft: ex-shipping line steel, checked by our technical team and sold wind and watertight for straightforward site storage. If you need the extra foot of internal headroom for racking or tall plant, the 40ft x 8ft used high cube container is the better buy, and we list further used 40ft storage containers as stock rotates.
A 40ft unit needs clear, level access for the delivery vehicle, so read our shipping policy before ordering. Other sizes are in the storage container range.
