Twice the floor space of a 20ft in the same 8-foot width. The workhorse size for contractors, farms, and businesses across Alabama, delivered with the price included.
The 40ft standard container offers roughly 2,350 cubic feet of interior space, twice that of the 20ft conex box, in the same 8-foot width. It is the workhorse container for construction companies, agricultural operations, and any business that moves or stores significant volumes of material. Weighing up whether to rent or buy this size? See our rent vs buy guide.
A 40ft needs a longer approach for delivery than a 20ft. For farms, construction sites, and commercial properties with the access to receive it, the 40ft is the most cost-efficient option per cubic foot of storage. Available in used WWT and one-trip. Our container condition guide has the full grade breakdown.
