This 45ft used wind and watertight shipping container in yellow is the largest standard ISO container available — 13,716mm external length, 86 m³ of internal volume, and a 9’6″ high cube profile that gives 2,698mm of internal clearance. It is an ex-P&O Ferrymasters unit that has completed multiple ocean voyages and shows cosmetic wear consistent with active shipping service. Furthermore, every unit passes a full wind and watertight inspection before dispatch — door seals intact, no holes in the steel body, floor structurally sound. In addition, 28mm hardwood timber on steel cross members handles forklift entry and heavy pallet loads without deflection.

Where the 45ft Used Wind and Watertight Container Gets Used
High-Volume Commercial and Industrial Storage
A single 45ft unit replaces two 20ft containers for volume-driven operators — reducing the number of units to secure, manage, and maintain on site. Construction companies, logistics yards, and industrial operators running large storage requirements benefit most from this consolidation. Furthermore, the 9’6″ high cube profile accommodates three and four-tier racking systems that a standard height container limits to two tiers.
Long Structural Material Storage
Steel sections, irrigation pipe runs, long timber packs, and fabricated structural components that exceed 12 metres in length store cleanly in the 13,556mm internal run. As a result, structural contractors avoid cutting material to fit or storing long goods externally on exposed racks. Moreover, the full-width double swing doors give unrestricted end access for long items loaded by forklift or telehandler.
Agricultural and Rural Properties
Farms with high volumes of seasonal stock, feed, machinery parts, and chemicals get maximum covered storage in a single unit. The wind and watertight grade protects moisture-sensitive agricultural materials through wet seasons without deterioration. In addition, the 5,200 kg tare weight is within range of most agricultural telehandlers for on-property repositioning without crane support.
Construction and Infrastructure Sites
Large project sites generating significant tool and materials volumes use 45ft units to consolidate storage without multiple containers. The 45ft length accommodates scaffold frames, formwork panels, and site equipment that overflow a 40ft unit. Therefore, a single 45ft placement at a site entry covers the full storage requirement without multiple crane lifts and positioning runs.
Conversion Base
The 45ft format suits large-scale container conversions — oversized workshops, commercial pop-up spaces, and multi-room site offices where a 40ft internal length limits the layout. The 9’6″ high cube profile adds ceiling clearance that standard height units can’t match for conversion work. Explore our modified container range for conversion-ready options.
