What does 'Wind and Watertight' (WWT) mean?

A Wind and Watertight (WWT) container is a used container that is guaranteed to be structurally sound and free of any holes or leaks. It will show signs of its previous life, including some rust and dents, but it will protect your belongings from the weather.

How much more can a high cube container hold?

A 40ft high cube container provides approximately 344 additional cubic feet of storage space compared to a standard 40ft container. This extra foot of height is ideal for storing tall items, light but bulky goods, or for creating a more comfortable ceiling height in a modified container.

How much space is needed for the delivery of a 40ft container?

For a successful tilt-bed delivery, you will need a straight, clear path of at least 100 feet in length, 12 feet in width, and 20 feet of overhead clearance. The driver will need this space to safely offload the container.

Can I convert this container into an office or home?

Absolutely. The 40ft high cube is one of the most popular models for custom modification projects due to its extra height, which creates a more spacious and comfortable interior. We also offer custom building services to help bring your vision to life.

What is the floor in a shipping container made of?

Our containers feature 1-1/8 inch thick marine-grade plywood flooring. This flooring is exceptionally durable, treated to resist moisture, and designed to withstand heavy loads, including forklifts.
