The 40ft standard container doubles the capacity of a 20ft for substantially less than double the cost. Twelve metres of internal length, 67 cubic metres of weatherproof volume, and the same Corten steel construction that’s defined shipping containers for six decades.

For bulk storage and palletised cargo, the 40ft is the workhorse. Twenty Australian standard pallets fit on the floor; many products stack two-high in the standard internal height. For modifications and site office builds, the 40ft gives you usable space – a partitioned office with meeting room, a single-cubicle ablution block with shower, or a workshop with bench, tool storage, and floor space to roll a vehicle in.

The trade-off versus 40ft high cubes is straightforward: standards are 300mm shorter in height, cheaper, and lighter. For storage where height doesn’t matter, the standard 40ft delivers everything you need at lower cost. For modifications where ceiling height impacts usability, the high cube usually wins.

Premium Used ($3,950) are cargo-worthy 40ft units with light cosmetic wear. Structurally sound and weatherproof.

New 1-Trip ($5,650) are pristine factory-fresh 40ft containers. Standard recommendation for any modification project.
