About this container
The 40-foot container offers a long storage space. Store items according to how often you use them: you will avoid moving everything to reach what is at the back. The side opening is useful for wide items or frequent access. Check the passage width and the space needed to open the doors. Its external dimensions are 12,192 × 2,438 × 2,591 m (length × width × height). Check the measurements of the container you are buying, especially if you need to fit a bulky item inside.
A container sold as 'last trip' has finished its sea transport service. Check its history and any repairs needed before using it. If you want to ship it by sea again, have its suitability and the required documents checked. This model is shown in green. Ask for photos to see its current colour and any paint repairs. Ask which equipment is included in the quote. The catalogue images show the model: ask for recent photos of the container you will buy.

40′ / Open Side
This container for your project
Container 40 ft Open Side · Used · last trip · Green. Check that this container suits what you want to store and the access to your site. Ask which equipment is included in the quote.
Possible uses
- Side loading of wide equipment
- Access to several storage zones
- Frequently accessed storage
What to consider
Side doors need room to open. A fence too close can block their opening. Keep a passage to access the back and make sure the truck can deliver a container of this length.
To compare other configurations in the same format, see the catalogue’s 40-foot containers.
Plan the access
Leave clear space along the side that opens and in front of the locks. Provide the town, street and placement-site number, or a precise landmark if the land has no number.
Before you buy
Ask for the width and height of the side opening. Check that the doors will be able to open fully on your property. To prepare these choices, use the dimensions and openings guide.
For a last-trip container, ask about planned repairs and have the structure checked. If you want to transport it again, have its compliance checked separately. Follow the steps in the used-container inspection guide.
Ask for the container number, recent photos, and a quote that specifies the included equipment and planned repairs.
Frequently asked questions
Dimensions, access, storage and delivery: practical answers for your project.
When is side opening useful?
It makes several storage zones accessible and allows wide objects to be loaded from the side. This 40-foot model offers about 67 m³ without restricting all handling to one end. Leave a clear strip beside the container; do not position the opening doors against a wall or fence.
How much space should I leave for side access?
The end doors have a typical opening of 2,340 × 2,281 m (width × height). Side doors give access along the side; their swing requires space beyond the container footprint. Position the handling route beside that face and keep the locking mechanisms accessible.
What are the dimensions and floor area of this 40-foot container?
Outside (length × width × height): 12,192 × 2,438 × 2,591 m, occupying about 29,7 m². Typical inside dimensions (length × width × height): 12,029 × 2,330 × 2,392 m, with about 28 m² of floor area and 67 m³. The door opening is 2,340 × 2,281 m (width × height), separate from the internal dimensions. These are model reference dimensions; manufacturing and equipment can cause small differences.
What does “Used · last trip” mean for this container?
Last trip describes a container sold at the end of its shipping service, not automatically one in poor condition. Wear and repairs depend on the unit: examine its doors, floor and seals in recent photographs. For further transport, unit suitability and CSC plate validity must be assessed separately from this description.
How can I reduce moisture and condensation during storage?
A metal wall can collect condensation when humid air meets a cold surface, even without water ingress. Store dry goods, pallets and packaging, maintain air circulation around the load and monitor humidity, especially after large temperature changes. Sensitive goods need moisture protection and ventilation suitable for their use. An uninsulated dry container does not maintain a constant temperature.
Does the price include delivery and taxes?
This configuration costs R 58 138 excluding tax for one container. Transport, unloading and any fit-out are quoted separately for your request. Currency and price follow the selected country; the proposal sets out applicable taxes and the complete amount.
What should I prepare to request a project quote for South Africa?
The container occupies about 29,7 m², with an external base of 12,192 × 2,438 m. That area excludes door swing and space for the truck and handling equipment. Prepare a stable, level location and provide the postcode or area, narrow passages, turns, slopes, obstacles and available unloading equipment. These details support transport pricing and selection of a suitable vehicle. Provide the town, street and placement-site number, or a precise landmark if the land has no number. Postal code: 4 digits. Format example: 2001. Use your site’s code, not this example. Add a visible landmark or entrance instructions when the address alone is insufficient. Give the site’s access hours and arrange for someone to receive the vehicle. The proposal should confirm transport, unloading, availability and timing for this site.
What happens after I submit my postcode request?
Your selection and delivery details are sent through Quotbox to approach suppliers. They are used to propose a unit and detail the container, taxes, transport and unloading. You can compare that proposal and refine your project before accepting it. The form is a no-obligation enquiry with no automatic purchase or payment.
