The 40’ High Cube Pallet Wide container is a practical and cost-effective solution not only for transport, but also as a warehouse on land, especially if purchased used.

Transport advantages

Optimized for Euro pallets (1200 × 800 mm): the container can accommodate up to 30 pallets on one level, which is 5 more than in a standard 40’ container.

Additional height (+30 cm): allows you to transport cargo with a higher height or simply increases the overall capacity.

Standardized ISO size: ensures compatibility with ships, trains and road transport.

Used container as a warehouse

The used 40’ High Cube Pallet Wide container is a frequently chosen solution for companies and individuals looking for practical and economical warehouse space.

Space utilization: with a volume of almost 79 m³, it provides sufficient space for both pallets and non-standard-sized goods.

Door dimensions: 2.43 m wide and 2.58 m high allow for easy loading and unloading of even bulky items.

Mobility: the container can be moved locally by crane or over longer distances by road, which gives flexibility to change the location of the warehouse.

Security: the steel structure provides protection against weather conditions and unauthorized access.

Cost-effectiveness: a used container is significantly cheaper than a new warehouse building, and no construction work is required.

Additional customization: it is possible to install shelves, ventilation or electrical connections, turning the container into a full-fledged warehouse space.
