Key Features
All about the 40ft Shipping Container
At a little over 12m long, the 40ft container is ideal for bigger spaces. They generally won’t fit on residential blocks, unless your driveway is especially spacious.
Like our 20ft containers, our 40ft model is built using weathering carbon steel. It’s watertight and wind-resistant. Designed to keep goods safely locked in, and pests or unwanted visitors securely locked out.

We also offer a 40ft High Cube, with an extra foot in the ceiling for even more storage room.

How is this container delivered?
We take the hard work out of shipping container delivery
We deliver shipping containers all across New Zealand. When requesting a quote, just let our team know if truck access could be difficult, and note down any potential obstructions – like trees or power lines. On the day, make sure the access-way is clear, and that all pets and kids are safely out of the way. Then we’ll take care of the rest, with one of three delivery options.
Side Loader
Side loaders are used to transport our 20 foot and 40 foot shipping containers. This is the best delivery method for containers at sites that have limited space either in front or behind the area where the container is to be positioned. The container is unloaded between the two outrigger feet of the side loader, approximately half a metre from the side of the truck.
Hiab Crane
Hiab cranes lift containers from a mechanism located behind the truck's cabin. This is used when there is limited space for a side loader or tilt tray. Using a crane means the container is easily positioned at an angle or up on a raised area. It can also be used to place containers over a fence or other obstacles.
