Key Features
Product Description
Built from weathering carbon steel, these units are secure from wind, water, vermin and thieves.
40ft High Cube containers are suited to sites with a larger available space. Measuring just over 12 metres long, these are not generally suited to standard residential blocks, although these can be squeezed onto driveways in some cases.
Given their large internal volume and one-foot extra height, they are often used for more than just household or business goods storage. They are an affordable and ready-made alternate solution to sheds or workshops. They can store machinery and equipment parts, or be used for site offices or accommodation away from the main building, with some minor modifications. And yes, they feature prominently in container homes.
Whatever you store in your 40ft High Cube shipping container, you can rest assured it will be safe.

40ft high cube shipping containers for sale - NEW STOCK AVAILABLE
A new 40ft shipping container will ensure quality and longevity, while a used container will save you money.
For cargo to be transported internationally, the container must have a valid CSC (Container Safety Convention) plate, which verifies that safety inspections have been performed. Our ‘New’ grade containers ensure CSC approval, as well as clean interiors.
While our ‘B’ grade containers may have marked interiors & some exterior corrosion, they remain windtight & watertight.
For less critical applications, you may save cost with a ‘C’ grade container, which will show more advanced corrosion.

How is this container delivered?
We aim to make your container delivery on site as smooth as possible. Please notify us when getting a container quote if there are any obstructions like power lines near where you plan to place your container or if access for a truck is likely to be tricky.
Also, please make sure that the area the truck will need to access is clear and that any loved pets and children are somewhere safe.
Delivery on site can be made using the following methods.
Tilt Tray Truck
In selected states, containers can be delivered by a Tilt Tray. This option delivers a container off the back of the truck. Similar to a tow truck, the tray is mechanically lowered at an angle, and the container is slid off, with the truck moving forward at slow speed. This is the most common delivery method used for containers. Tilt trays are not suitable for sites with overhead power lines as the container height increases significantly when tilted.
Side Loader
Side loaders are used to transport our 20 foot and 40 foot shipping containers. This is the best delivery method for containers at sites that have limited space either in front or behind the area where the container is to be positioned. The container is unloaded between the two outrigger feet of the side loader, approximately half a metre from the side of the truck.
Hiab Crane
Hiab cranes lift containers from a mechanism located behind the truck's cabin. This is used when there is limited space for a side loader or tilt tray. Using a crane means the container is easily positioned at an angle or up on a raised area. It can also be used to place containers over a fence or other obstacles.
