This Used 40 ft High Cube Container combines substantial interior volume with proven durability—at a fraction of the cost of new. Engineered to ISO 6346 standards, its one-foot extra height over standard containers provides approximately 2,700 ft³ of usable space, making it ideal for a variety of applications.

  • Exterior Dimensions: 40 ft L × 8 ft W × 9 ft 6 in H
  • Interior Dimensions: 39 ft 4 in L × 7 ft 8 in W × 8 ft 10 in H
  • Volume: ~2,700 ft³

Condition & Construction

  • Authentic Wear: Exterior may display weathered paint, minor surface rust, dents, or residual shipping logos—each container tells its own global journey.
  • Wind- & Watertight: Fully sealed with reliable door gaskets and intact sidewalls, guaranteeing protection against the elements.
  • No Structural Holes: We inspect every unit to confirm there are no penetrations in the steel shell.
  • Solid Wooden Floor: Heavy-duty marine-grade plywood remains in good condition, ready to support equipment, storage racks, or interior fit-outs.

Core Features

  • Extra Internal Height: The High Cube profile adds 12 in of headroom—perfect for tall installations, mezzanine decks, or vaulted interiors.
  • Secure Double Doors: Full-width swing doors with reinforced locking bars and a padlock-ready hasp ensure both ease of access and top-level security.
  • Robust Corten® Steel: Marine-grade steel walls stand up to heavy use and outdoor exposure; surface blemishes are purely cosmetic.
  • Customizable Canvas: Offered “as-is” in its current color (which may vary) or refreshed with primer; ideal for ventilation, windows, insulation, shelving, or complete interior build-outs.

Ideal Uses

  • Cost-Conscious Storage: Protect tools, inventory, or supplies without new-unit premiums.
  • Budget-Friendly Workshops: Create a secure enclave for machinery or fabrication work.

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.
