40ft Double Door Shipping Containers

The 40ft Double Door Shipping Container has the room to handle long or bulky items that can be awkward to fit into a Standard Shipping Container, and cargo doors at both ends make loading and unloading easier. Having two access points also makes it easy to split the interior into two distinct storage zones, which is handy for customers sharing the container between trades or keeping different types of gear separated.

40ft Double Door Shipping Containers are a good choice for shipping, high volume storage, or converting into a mobile workspace. Container Traders has 40ft Double Door Shipping Containers in standard height and High Cube for sale across Australia.

FAQ’s

Looking to learn more about 40ft Double Door Shipping Containers? We’ve answered some of the common questions our sales team gets asked.

  • Double door containers from Container Traders offer the same heavy-duty security as a Standard Container. They are built with robust Corten steel and are wind and water tight. Lock boxes can be added on both doors for added security.

  • Double Door Shipping Containers are often ordered for specific purposes rather than general freight, so they are almost always bought new. Because the Standard 20ft Shipping Container is the standard for international freight, Double Door Shipping Containers are considered specialised equipment and rarely appear on the used market. When someone does own one, it is usually because they need it for a specific task, meaning they tend to hold onto them.

    Most Double Door Containers we provide at Container Traders are New Build Containers to ensure you get the functionality you need without the long wait for rare used stock.

  • Standard Shipping Containers only open from one end, but you can upgrade to a Double Door Shipping Container to get doors on both ends. If you need even more access than that, our Side Opening Containers are a great way to open up the entire side of the container for easier loading and unloading.

  • We definitely think it is worth the investment if it’s in your budget. You can access items at the rear without having to empty out the entire contents of the Shipping Container. They are an affordable and highly practical upgrade that saves you a lot of time.

  • A Double Door Shipping Container (tunnel container) features double doors on both ends rather than just one. This design is perfect for drive-through loading and easier inventory access. At Container Traders, we offer a large range of 20ft and 40ft sizes.

    Amy was fantastic. She was able to assist with all my questions, and I was very happy with the quoted price. Very fast delivery, they even delivered it from Sydney to Canberra on the same day I paid for it! If you’re lucky enough to get Amy, you won’t be disappointed. Container Traders was by far the best place I tried, unlike the other companies.

    Great service throughout the process from enquiry, purchase and delivery. Easy to deal with, competitive pricing and skilled cheery operators. Made our move across Australia easier than anticipated and now we have a good storage unit.

    “Excellent service from Lachlan Wilson on purchasing a 40ft container for storage at our winery. He kept me informed on progress and delivery. Special thanks to the delivery driver who negotiated our steep windy drive and slotted the container in perfectly into a tight space.”
