40ft Shipping Containers for Sale & Rent
The 40-foot container gives you the most storage per dollar — 40' long with about 2,390 cubic feet inside, double the capacity of a 20' for far less than twice the price. The 40' high cube adds a foot of height (9'6") for tall loads, pallet racking, or converting the box into a workspace.
It needs about 60 feet of straight clearance for tilt-bed delivery, so we confirm access before we roll. Buy new (one-trip) or used, or rent by the month — wind- and watertight, guaranteed lowest price, delivered in 3–7 business days.
