LOTS TO STORE? CHOOSE ONE OF OUR FAMOUS 40FT SHIPPING CONTAINERS

If you’re looking for a large shipping container, TITAN’s 40ft model is the way to go. This is the longest container that is readily available in the UK and has a colossal 27.52m2 of floor space.

It’s no wonder that so many of these have been converted for use as portable office space and welfare units. They feel like large rooms – and, in fact, are around 60% bigger than the average UK living room.

As a storage unit, a 40ft container gives you lots of space to play with. These leviathans are used up and down the UK as storage for machinery, tools, non-perishable foods, business stock, vehicles and 100 other things.

If you’re moving home and need to keep your goods secure for a while, a 40 foot container is usually sufficient for the entire contents of a 3-4 bedroom home.

MULTIPLE COLOURS AND CONDITIONS

When you buy or rent a 40ft shipping container from TITAN, you can choose from no less than nine different colours.

That means it’s possible in many cases to match your container to your business branding or any other structures it will be near to.

Whether your office colours or business branding is in blue, white, green, black, red or grey, we have a 40ft container that will look great on your premises.

For private customers, being able to choose the colour is a way to ensure that your container blends in. Why annoy the neighbours with a bright red container if a dark green is more in keeping with the tone of your garden?

When renting, we always provide 40ft containers on a ‘best available’ basis – which usually means they will be in excellent condition. Renting is a hit for most customers as it’s affordable and flexible – plus, we’ll pick up your container when you have finished with it.

Buying is an option, too, and our 40-foot containers for sale are well suited to bespoke conversions, which we can provide, or long-term DIY projects for you to sink your teeth into.

Why not contact us to see what 40ft containers we have in stock at your local depot?

40FT SHIPPING CONTAINER DIMENSIONS

TITAN’s 40ft shipping container is the longest model we offer, and before ordering, you should take a moment to read our delivery guide and also check out its dimensions:

External dimensions

12.19m (length) x 2.44m (width) x 2.60m (height)

As for the internal dimensions of a 40ft container, they are as follows:

Internal dimensions

12.02m (length) x 2.29m (width) x 2.38m (height)

WHAT CAN YOU FIT IN A 40FT SHIPPING CONTAINER?

If you are a business customer and like to measure the volume of your containers in Euro pallets, then the number you’ll need to know here is 25: you can fit 25 standard Euro pallets in a 40ft container.

What does that mean in terms of cubic metres? Well, our incredible 40ft containers have a colossal 66.40m3 of space. That’s a huge amount of room for your workplace goods.

Or, for private customers, we’ve calculated that this is enough space to store the contents of a typical home that has a floor space of 200-250m2.

If you need even more room, go for a 40ft high cube. These are exactly the same as standard 40ft shipping containers but have an additional 30cm of head height.

When it comes to safety and security, our 40ft shipping containers are hard to beat. Unlike some companies, our models come with four vertical locking bars – not three – which makes them incredibly difficult to get into without the keys to your padlock.
