** EXTENSIVE NEW 40FT STOCKS NOW IN**

The container industry describes a new 40ft storage container as a steel unit which has been loaded with cargo at its place of manufacture, transported to the UK and then sold to the domestic market. If aesthetics are of primary importance and you are storing goods that require a clean, neat and tidy environment, this is the best container type you can purchase. They are more expensive than used 40ft containers but their lifespan is significantly longer and the cost difference is relatively minor. They usually come with a high security lockbox as standard, to improve security and protect your padlock. They come with either marine ply or bamboo floors as standard and usually have four small vents for air circulation. New 40ft containers will always be structurally sound and weather proof.

All of our  40ft used containers are good quality, wind and water tight and perfect for domestic storage. If aesthetics are not of primary concern, these containers are ideal, they also present a more cost effective alternative to new containers. 40ft used containers do not normally come complete with a high security lockbox as standard, however, one can be fitted for a nominal fee. 40ft used containers are always weather proof and structurally sound. They can be upgraded in order to be suitable for shipping if required. They usually have marine ply or bamboo flooring as standard with four vents for air circulation.

40ft Steel Shipping Containers are the largest available size of steel containers and are perfect for storing or shipping a large amount of materials. We can also provide 40ft high cube containers which are the ideal solution when the 8ft 6inch height of a standard container is simply not enough. High cube units provide an extra 1ft in height making them 9ft 6ins high. Please find nominal dimensions* of 40ft shipping containers in both metric and imperial measurements below. All container dimensions displayed are nominal and vary between manufacturers.
