Used 40ft General Purpose Shipping Containers

Our range of used 40ft General Purpose Shipping Containers is double the size compared to a 20-footer, which means double the storage.

We offer both standard height and high cubes.

Perfect choice for high-volume storage needs when you have sufficient space. We offer wind, water and vermin-proof options to lower quality. So, depending on what you intend to store, if we can provide a cheaper option, we will certainly put it up for your consideration!

Every container is inspected thoroughly, and all door gear, including seals and any holes, are repaired, ensuring you get a wind, water and vermin-proof product.

All repair work is subject to Containerite’s Quality Assurance Inspection.

If you have a specific colour preference, we can repaint it for you.

Applications

At 12 metres long, 40-footers can be restricted for some applications when space is limited.

They are premium when providing safe and secure storage for high-volume excess stock, archives, livestock produce, plant and machinery to makeshift workshops and much more.

We recommend our refurbished or new options if you are considering storing sensitive products.

Modifications

If you want to make your container more user-friendly, we can customise it to suit your needs or even make a return on your investment for retail stores or the like, we can help you.

From small upgrades like shelving, whirly birds, vents, workbench, power facilities and air cond for that workshop to retail applications, we can make it work better for you.

Delivery Methods

Using the same method as a tow truck, the shipping container rests on a tilt tray raised at an angle to promote the shipping container to slide off the back of the truck. In reverse when loading. Sufficient space and solid ground are essential. Overhead structures and powerlines may restrict the use of tilt tray deliveries.
This option allows our shipping containers to be lifted into position over obstacles like fences and other objects. Hiab trucks are fitted with a single hydraulic crane hoist that will lift the shipping container from the truck into position.
Commonly used to transport 10’s, 20’s and 40’ full and empty shipping. Side loaders are semi-articulated vehicles.Solid ground surfaces and sufficient space are essential. The shipping container is unloaded or loaded from the driver’s side using two hydraulic crane hoists connected at either end of the trailer, allowing the shipping container to be lifted safely.
Where customers have the means to lift the shipping container, we can also arrange flatbed deliveries for you.
