Key features of the 40ft high cube used shipping container

High cube structure

At 9 ft 6 in external height and approximately 8 ft 10 in internally, this 40ft high cube used shipping container provides one full foot of extra clearance over standard containers — ideal for tall equipment, racking systems, and palletised loads.

Wind and watertight construction

Every 40ft high cube used shipping container is graded wind and watertight (WWT), with sealed panels and door gaskets that protect stored items from rain, wind, and moisture in outdoor environments.

Exterior hinged double doors with locking bars

Full-width hinged double doors provide easy loading and unloading access. Heavy-duty locking bars across both door panels secure the container against unauthorised entry on job sites and commercial premises.

Reinforced marine plywood floor

The reinforced marine plywood floor is built to withstand heavy loads and forklift access. Furthermore, it resists moisture and provides a stable, durable base for long-term storage of goods and equipment.

Ventilation ports

Built-in ventilation ports maintain airflow inside the container, reducing condensation and protecting stored items from moisture damage during extended storage periods.

Durable steel body

Constructed from heavy-duty corrugated steel, this 40ft high cube used shipping container withstands harsh outdoor conditions, heavy use, and the demands of construction sites and industrial facilities.
