Why Choose a 40ft Shipping Container?
A 40ft shipping container offers one of the most efficient and affordable ways to store or move large volumes of goods. It can hold up to 25 standard EUR pallets (120 × 80 cm) with a maximum payload of 28,870 kg, ideal for industrial stock, bulk materials, or construction equipment. With 67 m³ of internal volume, it delivers excellent capacity and protection in all weather conditions.
Compared with a 20ft container, the 40ft version doubles your storage space while keeping handling and delivery efficient.
