How to choose
Decision guide.
Start with intended use and ceiling height. A standard 40ft suits palletised goods and general storage; a 40ft high cube (305 mm taller) is the right call for racking, machinery, modular builds, or any unit you plan to line and insulate. One-trip is the volume best-seller for appearance and value; brand new is the premium pick for long-term commercial use. Always confirm site access — a 40ft needs significantly more delivery clearance than a 20ft.
Delivery considerations
Site access & ground prep.
A 40ft container needs roughly 35–40 m of straight approach for a tilt-tray, with 4 m overhead clearance and a level pad. Side-loader delivery is a strong option where space is tighter — it places the container parallel to the truck without needing the truck to tilt. For elevated or constrained sites, crane-truck placement is usually the safest method.

Why buyers choose
Commercial advantages.
Buyers choose 40ft containers for the lowest cost per cubic metre of secure storage in the range. They're also the standard for modular and modified builds — office complexes, container homes, workshops and cafes typically use one or more 40ft units as their base structure.
