Secure 40ft Storage Containers for Site and Business Use
A 40ft container provides significantly more storage capacity than smaller containers, making it suitable for larger projects or sites with high-volume storage needs. It can be used to store construction materials, tools, plant equipment, retail stock, furniture, event equipment and other items that need to be kept secure and protected from the weather.
40ft Container Dimensions
A standard 40ft container is commonly around 40ft long, 8ft wide and 8ft 6ins high externally. High cube options provide an extra foot of height, with an external height of around 9ft 6ins.
These dimensions make 40ft containers a popular choice for projects that need a large amount of internal storage space. Exact dimensions can vary slightly depending on the container type, so our team can advise on the right option for your site.
Choosing the Right 40ft Storage Container
The best 40ft container for your project depends on what you need to store, how often you need access and how your site is laid out.
A standard 40ft container is a strong all-round option for large-volume storage. A high cube container is useful when you need extra height. A tunnel container is better when access from both ends would make loading and unloading easier. A side opening container is ideal when you need wider access for forklifts, pallets or bulky equipment.
If you are unsure which container is right for your site, Cleveland Hire can help you choose the most suitable option based on your access, loading and storage requirements.
