40ft General Purpose Container

As you’d expect, a 40ft container has the capacity of around double a 20ft container. A 40ft container (40ft in length) can generally squeeze about 54-58cbm worth of goods inside. Again, this is dependent on the nature of the goods and the size of the cartons. You can often load over 20,000kg without incurring a ‘heavy weight surcharge’.
Equipped with more than 300 square feet of usable space in the interior, this steel shipping container is strong and sturdy, and will keep your objects safe during storage or shipping. It is the optimal size for commercial use and a big enough size for overseas shipping.
The corrugated steel 40’ ocean cargo container is the larger of the two ISO general purpose/dry freight containers.
Because the 40-foot is considerably longer, you have the option of dividing the container up into multiple rooms which you cannot do with the smaller 20-foot containers.
