Standard 40ft shipping container

Product Description

The Standard 40ft x 8ft Shipping Container remains the global benchmark for intermodal transport and long-term storage. Designed to ISO specifications, it offers a balance of volume capacity, durability, and ease of handling.

These units are supplied in used but good condition, having completed several years of service while retaining full structural integrity and weatherproof performance. Containers are sourced from multiple manufacturers, meaning color and cosmetic appearance vary, but the technical specifications remain standardized.

Available in multiple grades — from new and one-trip to wind and watertight (WWT) and even economical “as-is” units — these containers are adaptable for a wide range of applications, including shipping, warehousing, construction, and conversion projects.
