New and Used 40ft Shipping Containers
Shipping containers are built for a tough life at sea, keeping everything from toys, clothes and medical supplies to cars, industrial components and priceless antiquities secure on their long journeys around the globe. Windproof, weatherproof and vandal-resistant, they are built from Corten steel and often spend a decade or more crisscrossing the globe.
For this reason, the difference between new containers and used containers is generally limited to cosmetic appearance and price. Whichever option you choose, you can walk away knowing you're getting a quality unit that’s weatherproof, structurally sound and will serve you well for years to come.
Benefits of 40ft Shipping Containers
For those who need serious storage space, a 40ft container is the perfect solution. It’s the next step up from a 20ft container and is essentially four times larger than a 10ft container. They offer significantly more room while still representing excellent value for money, and we can also supply 40ft high cube containers, which add a further foot to the headroom of a standard 8ft 6in unit.
Inherently secure, durable and portable, containers provide a versatile option for all your storage needs, without the difficulties and expense associated with building a permanent structure. If you’re running out of warehouse space, want to keep your machinery safe or even need more office or workshop space with a container conversion, this could be the solution for you.
For a cost-effective, versatile and highly secure option, shipping containers fit the bill, and 40ft containers are the best choice if you need a large amount of space.
