About 40ft New Shipping Containers
40ft new containers, also known as “one-trips”, carried a single load of dry goods to the U.S. before being marked for sale. They may have some light superficial damage from their journey — but they won’t require any upfront maintenance or painting.
40ft containers are designed to carry large quantities of lightweight goods, such as cotton, electronics, and consumer furniture. These qualities make them ideal for storing high-volume items, like home furniture, retail inventory, or construction materials. Unlike used containers, 40ft new containers can be immediately used for shipping, stacking, building, and much more.
Looking for a cheaper container for static storage purposes? We recommend purchasing a 40ft used shipping container instead.
