Key features of the 40ft dry container
New one-trip condition
A one-trip container has made a single voyage from its manufacturing facility, typically in China, to Australia. As a result, you receive a container in near-new condition — clean interior, tight door seals, and minimal cosmetic wear — at a lower cost than a factory-new unit.
Heavy-duty corten steel construction
The corrugated corten steel body of this 40ft dry container provides outstanding structural strength and corrosion resistance. It is built to withstand the harshest transport conditions across road, rail, and sea.
Wind and watertight seal
Door gaskets and sealed panel joints ensure the interior of this 40ft dry container remains dry and protected from wind, rain, and moisture — keeping cargo in pristine condition throughout storage and transit.
Double swing doors with locking bars
Full-width double swing doors open to a 7 ft 6 in aperture, providing easy access for forklifts, pallet jacks, and manual loading. Heavy-duty locking bars secure both door panels for safe storage and transport.
Hardwood or marine ply floor
The reinforced hardwood or marine plywood floor supports heavy payloads and forklift access. Furthermore, it provides a stable, durable surface for palletized goods, bulk materials, and heavy equipment.
ISO certified and stackable
Fully ISO 668 certified, this 40ft dry container is compatible with all standard intermodal handling equipment and can be securely stacked at ports, rail yards, depots, and storage facilities worldwide.
Applications for the 40ft dry container
