Our New 40ft Containers for Sale offer the ultimate combination of space, durability, and value. Naturally, the 40-foot container is twice the size of a standard 20ft unit, making it the true mammoth of the container fleet. Whether you’re expanding storage capacity or transporting large volumes of cargo, this container delivers unmatched efficiency.

12.05 metres long

-
2.36 metres high
-
66 cubic metres of internal space
Because of their generous capacity, New 40ft Containers for Sale are ideal when a 20ft container simply isn’t enough. Instead of shipping two smaller containers, it’s often far more cost-effective to transport a single 40ft unit—especially when you’re moving high-volume but lightweight goods.
Common Uses
These large containers are frequently chosen to transport or store:
-
Cotton
-
Electronics
-
Bulky furniture
-
Cardboard or paper products
-
Plastic bottles
-
And other high-volume items
Although these containers are perfect for lightweight cargo that occupies significant space, they are also highly effective for large personal moves. For instance, fully furnished 4–5 bedroom homes typically require the capacity only a 40ft container can provide.
Our New 40ft Containers for Sale offer unmatched durability, and as a result, they have become the leading choice for heavy-duty storage and transport. Furthermore, with nearly double the capacity of a standard 20ft unit, these containers provide the extra space needed for large projects and long-distance shipping. Because of this, they are ideal for businesses, construction sites, and homeowners who need high-volume storage.
In addition, the 40ft container features approximately 12.05 meters in length, 2.35 meters in width, and 2.36 meters in height, delivering up to 66 cubic meters of interior space. Consequently, you can transport bulky yet lightweight items such as electronics, furniture, cotton, plastic goods, or cardboard with ease. Moreover, choosing a single 40ft container is often more cost-effective than transporting two 20ft units, which helps reduce shipping expenses.
If you’re planning a large move, especially from a fully furnished 5-bedroom home, this container is a perfect solution. However, proper planning is essential, since accessing items packed deep inside can be challenging once the container is full. Therefore, organizing your layout beforehand ensures a smooth loading and unloading experience.
Additionally, a 40ft container is capable of holding large machinery—including loaders or excavators—along with up to 20 pallets or even multiple vehicles, depending on size. Alternatively, if your items are taller than standard dimensions allow, you may prefer a 40ft High Cube container, which offers an extra foot of interior height. Thus, this option provides flexibility without needing multiple containers.
Overall, our New 40ft Containers for Sale offer the strength, space, and versatility needed for commercial, industrial, and residential use. Ultimately, they deliver long-term value for anyone requiring reliable large-scale storage.
When using a 40ft container for removals or long-term storage, planning ahead is essential. Organization becomes even more important with this much space. After all, you don’t want to fill the entire container only to realize the item you need is all the way at the back. Proper loading strategy saves time, effort, and potential unloading headaches.
What Can Fit Inside a 40ft Container?
A single unit can hold:
-
Large machinery (front-end loaders or excavators—partial disassembly may be necessary)
-
2–4 cars, depending on their size
-
20 standard pallets, with room to spare
Need Extra Height? Consider a High Cube Container
If your items are slightly too tall for a standard unit, you may want to explore 40ft High Cube containers. They offer roughly one additional foot of headroom—perfect for taller furniture, equipment, or when you’re just shy of fitting everything into a standard-height container. This option often prevents the need to upgrade to multiple containers or choose a larger alternative.
