Description
This 40ft wind and watertight container is an economy grade direct ship unit — the lowest price point in the 40ft range. It ships straight from the container depot to your site without passing through our fabrication facility. Furthermore, the direct ship model cuts handling costs by removing the depot processing step. In addition, every unit keeps out wind, rain, and moisture regardless of cosmetic condition, giving you 67.7 m³ of dry storage from day one.

Who the 40ft Standard Wind and Watertight Shipping Container Suits
A 40ft standard wind and watertight shipping container at economy grade suits buyers where price is the deciding factor and cosmetic condition is irrelevant. Farmers storing bulk grain, fertiliser, and machinery parts don’t need a clean exterior — they need volume, security, and weatherproofing at the lowest delivered cost. Construction companies storing aggregates, formwork, and scaffolding components on remote sites have the same requirement. Moreover, industrial operators who stack containers two-high for site fencing and compound perimeters buy on structure and price, not paint condition. Therefore, this direct ship unit covers all of those applications at the sharpest price point in the range.
The economy grade designation is purely cosmetic. Surface rust, dents, dings, and floor scratches are normal on containers that have completed multiple ocean voyages — they don’t affect the unit’s ability to keep weather and vermin out. Furthermore, the standard 8’6″ height works on any site that doesn’t require the extra clearance of a high cube profile. In addition, no modifications are available on direct ship units — if you need windows, doors, or electrical fit-out, contact us to discuss a processed unit instead.
