40ft Container Sales

More Than Just the Purchase Price

When you’re looking for a 40ft shipping container for sale, the purchase price is only part of what matters.

You also need to know what condition you’re buying, whether standard or high cube makes more sense, what delivery will cost, and whether a 40-foot unit can be placed properly on your property.

01 Container Condition

02 Standard or High Cube

03 Delivery Cost

04 Property Placement

We help make those decisions clear before you commit.

We’ve worked with shipping containers since 2007, supplying new and used containers for residential, commercial, construction, agricultural, and industrial applications. We also provide container delivery, moving, rentals, and custom modifications.

If you already know what you need, we can quote it. If you’re still comparing options, we can help narrow them down.

40ft Delivered Pricing

Know Your 40ft Container Cost Before Delivery Is Booked

One of the first questions we hear is: What will my 40ft container actually cost delivered?

It’s the right place to start.

The price of the container itself can vary by condition, configuration, availability, and location. Delivery can also change according to distance, access, unloading requirements, and final placement.

When we prepare a quote, we look at the details that affect the actual purchase:

New or used condition
Standard or high cube
Current inventory
Delivery location
Site access
Unloading and placement
Custom modifications, if required

That gives you a more useful number than comparing advertised container prices without knowing what it will take to get the unit to your site.

Our current Atlantic Canada pricing guidance also distinguishes 40-foot pricing by condition and delivery requirements.

Send us your location, intended use, and preferred configuration. If you’re not sure which 40ft container you need yet, we can help with that too.

USED

Used 40ft Shipping Containers

A used 40ft container can make sense when you need substantial, secure storage and cosmetic appearance is not the main priority.

We offer used 40ft options, including high-cube configurations, for applications where function, capacity, and value matter. Our used-container offering is built around inspected, ready-to-use inventory.

Used 40ft containers are well suited to uses such as:

Construction tools and materials
Farm equipment and supplies
Commercial inventory
Industrial storage
Seasonal equipment
Building materials
Large property storage

Normal wear can include paint variation, dents, or surface marks from previous service. We help you understand the condition you’re considering so you can decide whether it fits the job.

NEW

New 40ft Shipping Containers

A new container may be the better choice when appearance, reduced previous wear, or future modification plans are important.

01 Appearance

02 Reduced Previous Wear

03 Future Modifications

We carry new 40ft configurations, including high-cube units, giving us options for storage, commercial projects, custom builds, workspaces, and other applications.

We won’t assume the more expensive option is automatically the right one. We’ll help you compare what you gain from new versus used before you decide.

40ft Container Height Options

Standard or High Cube?

Once you’ve decided between new and used, height becomes an important consideration.

Standard

Standard 40ft Shipping Container

A standard 40ft container measures approximately 40 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 8 feet 6 inches high, with roughly 2,385 cubic feet of usable volume.

That provides substantial space for equipment, materials, tools, inventory, and general storage without moving into a specialty configuration.

Length 40 ft

Width 8 ft

Height 8 ft 6 in

Volume ~2,385 cu ft

High Cube

40ft High Cube Shipping Container

A high-cube container adds extra vertical clearance. Our 40ft high-cube options are 9 feet 6 inches high, one foot taller than a standard unit.

That additional height can be useful when you need:

Taller shelving
More stacked storage
Clearance for bulky equipment
Additional interior volume
Space for a custom conversion
Greater flexibility for future use

01 Get More Storage in One 40-Foot Footprint More capacity for construction, farms, commercial operations and industrial storage.

A 40ft container is a practical choice when capacity is the priority.

Instead of splitting materials, inventory, or equipment between several smaller storage areas, you can keep more of what you need together in one secure onsite space.

For Construction and Trades

We can help create secure onsite space for tools, building materials, equipment, and project supplies.

For Farms and Rural Properties

A 40-foot container can add significant storage capacity for equipment, tools, supplies, seasonal materials, and other items that would otherwise occupy valuable building space.

For Commercial Operations

We can provide additional space for inventory, records, equipment, seasonal stock, and operational supplies without requiring a conventional building expansion.

For Industrial Uses

A 40-footer can provide accessible onsite storage for materials, components, machinery, tools, and project equipment.

If you already expect to outgrow a smaller container, moving directly to a 40-foot unit can give you additional capacity within one footprint.

03 We Plan Delivery Before Your 40ft Container Arrives Access, unloading space and placement need to be considered before delivery day.

A 40-foot unit needs enough room not only to sit on the property, but also to be delivered and placed.

Before delivery, we recommend thinking about:

Driveway width
Turning room
Overhead wires
Tree branches
Gates and fences
Nearby structures
Ground conditions
Placement direction
Available unloading space

If access is tight, the terrain is unusual, or you need the doors facing a specific direction, tell us while requesting your quote.

We provide container moving and delivery services, so we can consider the route, access, container size, and intended placement before the unit arrives.

That upfront planning helps reduce avoidable surprises on delivery day.

Property & Placement Planning

Make Sure a 40 Foot Sea Can Works for Your Property

If you’re comparing a 40 foot sea can for sale, capacity isn’t the only consideration.

You also need enough room to use it properly.

Before ordering, consider the space required for the container itself, access to the cargo doors, the ground beneath it, and the path the delivery vehicle will use.

01 Container Footprint

02 Cargo-Door Access

03 Ground Conditions

04 Delivery Route

Local zoning, setback, or permit requirements may also apply depending on the property and intended use. We can help with practical container and delivery questions, while municipal requirements should be confirmed with the appropriate local authority when necessary.

A little planning upfront can prevent a much larger problem after purchase.

A 40-foot container provides room for applications such as:

01 Workshops

02 Site offices

03 Equipment rooms

04 Organized storage

05 Commercial space

06 Industrial applications

07 Specialized project builds

40ft Container Experience

Why Buy Your 40ft Container From Us?

We’ve been working with shipping containers since 2007. That experience gives us a practical understanding of what matters before a 40-footer reaches your site.

We can help with:

New and used 40ft containers
Standard and high-cube options
Specialty configurations
Current inventory
Delivery planning
Container moving
Site-access questions
Custom modifications
Atlantic Canada service
Purchase and financing options

We keep the process straightforward.

You don’t need to know every specification before you call. Tell us what you need to store, where the container is going, and what matters most for the project. We can help with the rest.

How much does a 40ft shipping container cost?

The final price depends on condition, configuration, current availability, delivery distance, access, and any modifications. We recommend requesting delivered pricing for your specific location rather than relying on the advertised container price alone.

Should I buy a new or used 40ft container?

A used unit can be a practical choice when function and value matter more than cosmetic appearance. A new container may make more sense when appearance, lower previous wear, or future modification plans are priorities.

Is a 40ft high cube worth it?

It can be if you will use the additional height. High cube gives you one extra foot of exterior height compared with a standard 40-footer, which can improve vertical storage and flexibility for certain equipment or modification projects.

Can we deliver a 40ft container to a rural property?

Many rural locations can be served, but delivery depends on the route, available truck access, unloading space, and final placement area. Send us the location and we can review the requirements.

Can we modify a 40ft container?

Yes. We provide custom container solutions and can discuss doors, windows, insulation, electrical work, interior finishes, and other project-specific modifications.
