40 Foot Container FAQs

Do you sell new or only used containers in the 40ft container range?

If you are seeking a used container option, these containers often come with slight scratches or scuff marks but are vermin proof and still very suitable for all your storage needs.

Does my 40ft container need to be certified for global shipping?

Yes, your container needs to be certified if you intend to use it for transportation via rail or sea. When you place an order with us, our team begins the surveying process and issues you a CSC Certificate (International Convention for Safe Containers), which guarantees your container’s security and top quality.

All our shipping containers are suitable for international shipping, which is becoming increasingly crucial in various industries.

How do you transport the container?

Our delivery services are provided by tilt tray truck, loader truck and side loader truck. The delivery process will depend on your location and requirements, something our team can help you with.

What is the difference between a regular 40ft shipping container and a 40ft high cube?

A 40ft high cube offers additional height compared to a standard 40ft container, making it ideal for storing taller items.

What kind of truck is best for delivering my 40ft shipping container?

We offer various delivery methods including tilt tray, side loader and crane truck. Our team will advise on the best option for your location and needs.

What types of 40ft shipping containers for sale does 1300SPAREBOX OFFER?

Can I modify my container for site offices or other functional spaces?

Yes, we offer interior and exterior customisation services. Whether you need workspaces or other functional spaces with ease of access, our team can assist in transforming the container to fit your needs.

What are some economic benefits of repurposing a shipping container?

Reusing a shipping container for alternate purposes is a great way to reduce the carbon footprint of your project. They are built to last and offer a robust, cost-effective way to create functional spaces, portable storerooms or temporary offices — particularly if you opt for a used container.

Should I buy a 40ft shipping container or a 40ft high cube?

Offering an extra foot of height and ample space, 40ft high cubes are ideal for anyone wanting to pile pallets or store taller items. They’re also popular for making container homes or longer-term offices.

Regarding the 40 foot container dimensions, in a high cube, you’ll have 2,698mm of clearance instead of the standard 2,393mm. Coupled with an increased cubic capacity, high cubes are more spacious storage units. Check out our high cube shipping container options here.

Is it more cost-effective to buy one 40ft shipping container or two 20ft shipping containers?

If you have the space for a 40ft container, this would be the more economical route. However, in a more limited space, stacking two 20ft containers can be a great storage solution.

How many pallets can I fit in a 40ft container?

A standard 40ft shipping container can typically fit up to 20-21 standard pallets (1165mm x 1165mm). However, the exact number can vary depending on the arrangement of the pallets and the type of pallet used. For example, if using “euro pallets” (1200mm x 800mm), you might be able to fit up to 24-25 pallets.
