The shaded area is the door opening: it is what determines what fits, not the volume. It loses little in width — 7 ft 8.1 in against 7 ft 8.6 in inside — but less clearance in height, 7 ft 6.2 in against 7 ft 10.3 in. A load that fits within the volume but exceeds the lintel remains on the quay. Scale drawing, traced over the dimensions in the table below. External length: 40 ft; width: 8 ft; height: 8 ft 6 in. Display conversions are rounded.

A nominal container format does not establish its load rating. Obtain the actual unit’s plate and specification for its tare, maximum gross mass and payload; include packaging, fittings and securing material in the calculation. Confirm its current condition and the limits of the vehicle, lifting equipment and delivery route before loading or lifting.

Is this container right for your project?

Used standard 40ft shipping container (Dry, ISO 42G1) sold as-is, with condition and watertightness unconfirmed. Assess a written defect report and repair needs before selecting any storage or conversion use; structural, lifting and freight suitability are not established by this grade. Applicable statutory consumer rights remain. Confirm the external dimensions, clear interior and door opening of the nominal 40ft unit offered.

Room for larger storage requirements

The nominal 40ft format offers room for pallets, machinery or seasonal stock on your site. Compare delivered quotations for one 40ft and two 20ft units; confirm actual dimensions, required space and suitable vehicle access.

A standard design

Corrugated steel walls, doors at one end and a timber floor. Confirm the actual unit's condition, lifting points and assessed capacity before lifting or stacking it; the original container design does not establish the safety of a damaged or altered unit.

As-is: assess the actual condition

Condition, structural suitability and watertightness are unconfirmed. Obtain a written defect report and assess repairs before choosing a use. The description does not remove applicable statutory consumer rights.

40ft container delivery: access and unloading

Enquire about delivery to Canadian provinces and territories, subject to route and supplier confirmation. Coverage, lead time, transport and unloading charges depend on the postal code and site assessment. Request delivered price and confirm the full amount before agreeing to buy. Islands, remote locations and northern communities may require separate transport arrangements.

Obtain the actual external dimensions of the proposed unit, then allow for its footprint, door opening and the proposed vehicle and lifting equipment. Ask the delivery team to assess gate width, turning space, overhead obstructions, ground bearing capacity and outrigger space. Confirm the actual unit weight and lifting points; access and crane reach cannot be approved from container dimensions alone.

Questions about the 40ft used as-is container

What is the price of a 40ft used as-is container?
The provisional catalogue amount is $2,643.75 before tax. Confirm the selected as-is unit, its condition and the container price in a written quotation. Delivery, unloading and applicable taxes are additional. Request a written delivered total; the displayed amount does not confirm stock or an order.
Where can I enquire about delivery, and how is it priced?
You can enquire about delivery to Canadian provinces and territories, subject to route and supplier confirmation; availability must be confirmed for your postal code. Delivery and unloading costs depend on your postal code, truck access and unloading method. Ask for a written quotation including applicable sales tax, delivery, unloading and any mandatory charges after access and the planned location have been checked. Remote locations, islands and northern communities may require a separate transport arrangement.
What needs to be prepared on site?
Confirm land-use approval and any building permits with the local authority. Agree load-bearing ground, foundations or supports for local frost and drainage conditions, vehicle access and the unloading plan with the supplier and a competent site professional. Mention overhead power lines, narrow gates, slopes and buried services. A generic footprint is not a foundation design or lift plan.
Can I see the container before confirming?
Request recent photos and, where possible, an inspection of the proposed unit before agreeing to buy. For a used container, they show the real condition of the doors, floor and walls.
Cargo-worthy, wind and watertight used or as-is: what's the difference?
Cargo-worthy describes a unit offered for freight use: verify inspection, current CSC examination status and carrier acceptance. WWT describes wind and watertight storage condition, not shipping certification. As-is means condition needs careful assessment; ask for a written report. Applicable consumer rights still apply.
