40ft Shipping Containers
The 40ft Shipping Container measures 12 metres in length and holds roughly double the internal space of a 20ft Shipping Container. It’s perfect for any home or business that needs a lot of wind and water tight storage or has high volumes of freight to transport. The 40ft High Cube Shipping Container adds another ~1ft of internal height for bulkier cargo.
When a single door isn’t enough, Container Traders also stocks the 40ft Double Door Shipping Container with doors at both ends, or the 40ft Side Opening Shipping Container for side access. We deliver New Build and Cargo Worthy 40ft Shipping Containers across Australia and can modify yours into a workshop, office, lunch room or something completely custom. Secure your 40ft Shipping Container today.

Customer Reviews
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.

“Great service. Always available to discuss options for the container. Excellent communication about the delivery. Container itself is in great condition (it’s the second I have bought from Container Traders). I recommend the Container Traders team if you’re looking for a legit supplier.”
Owen P.
“It is a bit of a minefield buying a container. I did my research and the guys at Container Traders Pty Ltd came out on top. Excellent communication, safe payment and my container arrived yesterday. It was seamless! I would highly recommend. Thanks Sam and Lachlan.”
Paula M.
“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.”
Jenny G.
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.
