Our 40ft Shipping Containers for Sale
At Shipping Containers Mackay, we stock a wide selection of 40ft shipping containers to suit your project, industry, or personal needs.
Buy 40ft Used Shipping Containers
The most common size, 40ft containers strike the perfect balance between space and practicality. They are suitable for almost any application, from general storage to transport, workshops, and more.
40ft General Purpose (GP) Containers
The standard 40ft general purpose container is by far the most common choice. Strong, secure, and cost-effective, it’s perfect for storing furniture, tools, stock, or machinery. These units are fully wind and watertight, making them reliable for long-term storage in Mackay’s climate. They are also suitable for transport by road, rail, or sea, offering maximum flexibility.
40ft High Cube Containers
A 40ft high cube container offers the same footprint as a standard 20ft but with an extra foot of vertical clearance. This makes it ideal for storing taller items such as stacked pallets, racking systems, or oversized equipment. High cubes are popular for modification projects too, as the extra ceiling height creates more comfortable and practical workspaces for offices, kiosks, or studios.
40ft Refrigerated Containers (Reefers)
For customers who need reliable cold storage, the 40ft refrigerated container provides consistent temperature control for perishable goods. Widely used in the food, farming, and catering industries, reefers are ideal for keeping produce, seafood, beverages, or pharmaceuticals safe. They can be set to chilled or frozen, depending on your needs, and are fully insulated to maintain efficiency.
40ft Side-Opening Containers
A 40ft side-opening container is designed with full-length side doors in addition to the standard end doors. This makes loading and unloading oversized or heavy goods much easier, especially with forklifts or cranes. They are commonly used in retail, events, and logistics, where quick and efficient access is important.
40ft Open-Top Containers
The 40ft open-top container is built for tall or irregularly shaped cargo that won’t fit through standard doors. With a removable tarpaulin roof and top-loading access, these containers are perfect for machinery, industrial equipment, or construction materials. They are often used in heavy industries across Queensland where cranes are needed for loading.
40ft Modified Containers
Our 40ft modified containers can be customised to meet specific needs. From mobile site offices and lunchrooms to workshops, ablution blocks, or retail pop-ups, a 40ft container is the perfect blank canvas. With options for insulation, air-conditioning, shelving, doors, and windows, we can create a solution tailored to your business or personal project.
