Frequently asked questions

What are 40ft containers used for?
40ft containers are often the preferred choice for the transportation of large quantities of lightweight goods. It’s a more cost-effective and practical choice than otherwise requiring two 20ft containers. For heavier items and equipment, a 20ft container would be more suitable as the payload is greater when compared to a 40ft container.
Are 40ft containers that common?
40ft containers are extremely common and combined with 20ft containers make up over 80% of the total number of containers in the world. As previously mentioned, it’s an ideal transportation and storage solution choice for large quantities of typically consumable goods.
Can 40ft containers be modified?
Yes, 40ft containers can be modified like 10ft and 20ft containers. Because of their size, they are quite often used in architectural projects like container offices, retail parks and container homes. It offers a great amount of space giving you great flexibility of creativity.
Should I hire a 40ft standard height or high cube and what is the difference?
It really comes down to what you are storing and if you actually need the extra headroom? High cubes have an extra 300mm which across the span of a 40ft adds a considerable amount of volume. Standard height containers, however, are always cheaper and are more likely to have special offers. If you are looking to save a few dollars and the extra volume is neither here nor there then standard height is the better choice.
