40ft Container
40ft Shipping Container
The 40ft standard container doubles the floor space of a 20ft unit and is the go-to choice for shipping companies, freight forwarders, and large storage projects across the UAE.
Specifications
External: 12.19m long x 2.44m wide x 2.59m high. Internal capacity around 67 cubic metres, with a payload of roughly 26 tonnes depending on condition. Same width and height as a 20ft unit, just twice the length.
Best uses
Large-scale warehousing overflow, construction site storage for bigger projects, freight forwarding and shipping, and conversions into larger site offices or workshops. The extra length makes it efficient for high-volume storage per delivery trip.
40ft vs 40ft high cube
A standard 40ft container is 2.59m high. The 40ft high cube adds roughly 30cm more height for the same footprint, useful for bulky goods or internal racking.
