40 ft Standard Container

The 40ft standard shipping container is the largest standard-height unit available, offering strong, weather-tight storage with plenty of room for bulk goods, equipment, or furniture. Built from corten steel and fitted with lockbox security, it’s a reliable option for large-scale storage and transport needs.

Our 40ft standard containers are new build, one-trip units shipped directly from the factory into New Zealand. While they may show minor scuffs or dents from handling during transport, every unit is structurally sound and certified for five years from the date of manufacture.

This container is popular with businesses needing large storage capacity and households managing relocations or long-term storage. With double doors at one end, a marine-grade plywood floor, and strong corten steel construction, it’s designed to last. The underside is fully undersealed, vents improve airflow inside, and forklift pockets make positioning straightforward.

Features include:

  • Constructed from corten steel, offering long-term strength and durability in outdoor conditions.
  • Standard height design, suited for large volumes of goods without requiring extra clearance.
  • Double doors at one end allow simple access for loading and unloading.
  • A fitted lockbox provides added padlock protection for better security.
  • Marine-grade plywood flooring gives a stable, durable base for heavy storage.
  • The underside is undersealed to protect against damp and ground contact.
  • Air vents improve airflow and help reduce condensation inside the container.
  • Forklift pockets built into the base allow safe lifting and movement.

Nationwide delivery is available, with placement arranged via hiab or swing lift trucks depending on site requirements. Customer unloading is also possible if suitable equipment is available.
