This Used 40 ft Container combines generous interior volume with proven durability at an attractive price. Ideal for commercial, industrial, residential, or creative applications, it offers dependable protection and versatile retrofit potential.

  • Exterior Dimensions: 40 ft L × 8 ft W × 8 ft 6 in H
  • Interior Dimensions: 39 ft 4 in L × 7 ft 8 in W × 7 ft 10 in H
  • Volume: ~1,850 ft³

Condition & Construction

  • Genuine Wear: Exterior may exhibit welded patches, paint chipping, minor dents, or leftover shipping-company markings—each unit has its own history.
  • Wind- & Watertight: Sealed sidewalls and door gaskets ensure dryness and protection from drafts.
  • No Structural Holes: Every container is inspected to verify the shell is intact and secure.
  • Solid Wooden Floor: Heavy-duty marine-grade plywood remains in good condition, suitable for storage racks, flooring upgrades, or interior build-outs.

Core Features

  • Standard Height Profile: 8 ft 6 in exterior height accommodates most equipment, shelving, or partition layouts.
  • Secure Double Doors: Full–width swing doors with reinforced locking bars and a padlock-ready hasp for easy access and high security.
  • Steel Shell: Durable steel walls stand up to outdoor exposure; surface blemishes are purely cosmetic.
  • Retrofit Ready: Offered “as-is” in its current color (which may vary), it’s primed for cut-outs (windows, personnel doors), insulation, electrical fit-outs, shelving systems, HVAC, and more.

Ideal Uses

  • Affordable Storage: Protect tools, equipment, or inventory without new-unit premiums.
  • Workshop & Equipment Housing: Create a secure workspace for light fabrication, repairs, or parts staging.
  • Residential & Studio Conversion: Turn into a backyard office, hobby studio, or guest suite with simple fit-outs.
  • Retail Pop-Ups & Event Booths: Build distinctive kiosks, market stalls, or exhibitor spaces on a budget.
  • Site Amenities: Deploy break rooms, first-aid stations, or equipment shelters at construction, film, or event sites.

Reliable Containers Quality Guarantee

At Reliable Containers, we stand behind the durability and performance of every unit we sell. Every container is inspected by qualified professionals to ensure it meets our strict quality standards before it reaches your location.

As part of our standard Quality Guarantee, you will have the opportunity to review and inspect your container at delivery together with the truck driver. A simple Quality Inspection Form is completed on-site to confirm the unit meets expectations.

If any issues arise that fall within our Quality Guarantee, we will arrange repairs at no cost to you. Our goal is to make your buying experience simple, transparent, and worry-free.

All containers meet the following criteria:

  • ISO-certified construction
  • Wind and watertight
  • Equipped with solid marine-grade wooden flooring

Prepare for a Smooth Delivery

To help ensure a fast and hassle-free delivery, please review the following requirements before your container arrives:

Accessible delivery location

The truck must have a clear path with at least 4 metres of width to safely reach your drop-off point.

Firm Ground

The delivery area should have solid, compact ground to support both the truck and container.

Flat Surface

Because containers are delivered using a tilt-bed system, the drop-off point must be level. Deliveries cannot be made on steep or uneven inclines.

Free From Obstruction

Make sure there is open space in front of the container, approximately three times the container’s length, so the truck can pull forward and exit after unloading.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the delivery lead time?

Our average delivery timeframe is 3–5 business days from the moment your order is placed and payment has been received by our bank.

A wind and watertight (WWT) container has:

  • No holes, cracks, or structural openings
  • A solid, intact floor
  • Door seals tight enough to keep out wind and rain

A simple test: if you stand inside the container with the doors closed, you should not see any daylight. Choosing a WWT unit is important to ensure your stored items remain protected from the elements.

Used Containers:
Color selection is not available for used containers. Units are stored in large depots in high stacks, and containers are pulled based on availability—not by color.

New (One-Trip) Containers:
For new containers, you may request a preferred color based on our current inventory. Availability varies, but we will do our best to match your preference with what we have in stock.

Shipping containers are built with marine-grade plywood flooring supported by:

  • Steel cross members
  • Reinforced wooden joists
  • Treated, durable plywood sheets

This combination provides strength, moisture resistance, and long-lasting performance.
