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.

Need something customised? We can modify your container with side doors, insulation, shelving, electrics, or even refrigeration, creating a tailored unit for any project or business use.

Can't fault them.

Quick response for everything from getting me a price to getting it delivered.

The driver was spot on and made sure we was happy with the positioning before leaving.

Excellent company - great service

We were messed around by another supplier and so after weeks of waiting to no avail we got a refund and went to these guys. Their communication was excellent and within days we had our container delivered. Container in excellent condition, the delivery driver was very helpful and arrived on time, and the total price was the cheapest we could fine. Highly recommended.

Great customer service from start to…
