40ft container dimensions and specifications

Standard external dimensions and indicative internal dimensions, door openings and weights from reference specifications. These values do not describe one identified sale unit. Obtain the actual unit specification before agreeing to buy.

Reference specifications: 40ft one-trip; confirm the actual unit
ISO code	1AA / 42G1
External length	40 ft
External width	8 ft
External height	8 ft 6 in
Internal length	39 ft 5.7 in

Internal volume	2,390.8 cu ft
Internal floor area	304.6 sq ft

Payload	63,382.9 lb

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?

40ft standard shipping container (Dry, ISO 42G1) one-trip: only one loaded journey since manufacture. Length 39 ft 11.9 in, width 8 ft 0.1 in, height 8 ft 6 in.

Room for larger storage requirements

Over 39 ft 4.4 in long to store pallets, machinery or seasonal stock on your site. Compare delivered quotations for one 40ft and two 20ft units; allow 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.

One-trip specification

One-trip describes a container transported from manufacture, commonly on an initial cargo journey. Handling marks may be present. Confirm the transport history, structure, paintwork and floor of the actual unit from recent photos and its condition report.

40ft container delivery: access and unloading

Inquire about delivery to US states and the District of Columbia, subject to route and supplier confirmation. Coverage, lead time, transport and unloading charges depend on the ZIP 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.

Allow for a footprint of about 39 ft 11.9 in × 8 ft 0.1 in, 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 one-trip container

What is the price of a 40ft one-trip container?

Where do you deliver, and how much does delivery cost?

You can inquire about delivery to US states and the District of Columbia, subject to route and supplier confirmation; availability must be confirmed for your ZIP code. Delivery and unloading costs depend on your ZIP 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. Alaska, Hawaii, islands and remote sites may require separate transport arrangements.

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.

What colors are available?

Color preferences shown are gentian blue (RAL 5010), reseda green (RAL 6011), light gray (RAL 7035), anthracite gray (RAL 7016). Select a preference to include it in your inquiry. Actual availability and any repainting charge must be confirmed in the quotation.

Do you sell new 40ft containers?

Our new-condition 40ft units are one-trip containers. US suppliers commonly advertise this condition as new, although the unit has travelled from manufacture and may show handling marks. This listing does not offer a never-used factory unit.

One-trip or new: what is the difference?

US suppliers commonly use ‘new’ to describe one-trip containers. We label that condition explicitly: the unit has travelled from manufacture and may have handling marks. It is different from a genuinely never-used unit. Ask for the actual unit's build and transport history and condition report.
