40 FT Shipping Containers for Sale

Need room for equipment, inventory, building materials, or long-term storage? Container King sells 40 ft shipping containers in Texas, Oklahoma, and nationwide, with standard-height and high cube options in both used and one-trip condition.

You may also see these units called 40 ft storage containers or 40 ft Conex boxes. Whatever name you use, the first decision is the same: how much height do you need, and how much wear are you comfortable with? Compare the options below, then ask our team about current inventory and delivery to your site.

Compare 40 Ft Container Options

A standard 40 ft container is 8 ft 6 in tall on the outside. A 40 ft high cube is 9 ft 6 in tall, giving you an extra foot of exterior height for taller equipment, stacked materials, or a layout that calls for more headroom. Both are approximately 40 ft long and 8 ft wide on the outside. Interior dimensions and door openings vary by unit, so confirm the measurements of the container you plan to buy.

Standard Height or High Cube?

Choose a standard-height 40 ft container if its door opening and interior height accommodate everything you need to load. It gives you the full length of a 40 ft unit without paying for height you will not use.

Choose a 40 ft high cube container when clearance is a concern. That extra height can help with tall machinery, shelving, stacked inventory, or a planned modification. Measure the tallest item you need to move through the doors as well as the space it will occupy inside. Exterior height alone will not tell you whether it fits.

Used or One-Trip?

A used 40 ft shipping container may show dents, faded paint, scratches, or surface rust from previous service. It can be a sensible choice for job-site supplies, farm equipment, and other storage where appearance is less important. Container King’s used-container page describes inspections for watertightness, structural condition, floors, and working doors. Ask about the condition of the specific unit available for your order.

A one-trip 40 ft container has typically made one cargo trip from the manufacturer. Buyers often choose it when a cleaner appearance matters or when the unit will be visible on a commercial property. If you are weighing two options, ask for the delivered price of each configuration rather than comparing container prices alone.

Storage Space for Work, Business, and Property

A 40 ft container offers substantial ground-level storage in one unit. Contractors can keep materials and equipment together on a job site. Businesses can use the length for inventory, fixtures, or seasonal overflow. Farms and ranches can store supplies near the work area, while property owners may need space during a renovation or move.

Think through how you will use the container after delivery:

  • Loading: Will you need access only through the end doors, from both ends, or along the side?
  • Organization: Will shelving leave enough room to walk through and retrieve items?
  • Height: Will tall items pass through the door opening and fit inside?
  • Duration: Is this a long-term storage purchase, or would a container rental better suit the project? Rentals are available only in Texas and Oklahoma.
  • Placement: Is there enough room to deliver the container and open its doors once it is in position?

If you need a different size, compare the 20 ft container options before deciding.

What Affects the Price of a 40 Ft Container?

The price of a 40 ft storage container depends on its condition, height, door configuration, current inventory, and delivery location. A used standard-height unit and a one-trip high cube open-side unit serve different needs, so a single advertised price would not describe every option on this page.

To get a useful quote, tell Container King your delivery ZIP code, whether you prefer used or one-trip condition, and whether you need standard height, high cube height, or special door access. If you are unsure, describe what you plan to store. The team can help narrow the choices before quoting an available unit.

40 FT Container Delivery in Texas, Oklahoma & Beyond

Container King sells containers in Texas, Oklahoma, and nationwide. Share your delivery ZIP code with the team to confirm available units, delivery arrangements, and costs for your location.

Container King’s delivery requirements require 120 feet of straight-line space, 25 feet of overhead clearance, and approximately 9 to 12 feet of width for a 40 ft tilt-bed delivery. The ground must also be stable and accessible to the truck. Send the team your site details if space is tight; delivery feasibility depends on the route, equipment, and placement.

Check local placement rules and any property or HOA restrictions before buying. If you plan to add doors, ventilation, shelving, or other features, discuss the project with Container King while choosing the unit.
