Twice the floor area of a 20ft unit — 67m³ of secure, weatherproof storage. The biggest standard container size on the market.
Costs less than two 20ft units for the same volume — and you only pay one delivery, one pad, one securing setup.
Add 1ft of internal headroom with a 40ft High Cube — perfect for tall machinery, racking, or container home conversions.
The go-to size for container home builds, garden gym studios, workshop conversions, and live-in cabin projects.
Fits a small forklift, multiple pallets of stock, or a substantial workshop fit-out. The choice when 20ft is just not enough.
20+ year lifespan if maintained. Cheaper per square foot than purpose-built buildings, planning-permission-friendly in most cases.
40ft units are large — they need real clearance for delivery and a substantial level pad. Read this carefully before booking delivery.
