40′ Container

The “Warehouse Solution” & Volume Leader

When volume is the priority, the 40ft Shipping Container is the undisputed champion. Offering nearly double the capacity of the 20ft unit but often at a significantly lower price point than buying two separate 20s, this is the smartest investment for bulk storage and large-scale projects.

At Anrok Can Inc, we recommend the 40ft unit for clients who have the space to accommodate it and the inventory to fill it. It is effectively a portable warehouse that can be dropped anywhere in Canada.

Key Features & Benefits

1. Best Value Per Square Foot

If you have the ground space, the 40ft container offers the lowest cost per cubic foot of storage. It is the economical choice for storing large quantities of low-density goods, building materials, or seasonal inventory.

2. Massive Storage Capacity

Designed to hold the contents of a 4-to-5-bedroom home or approximately 20-24 standard pallets (single stacked). It accommodates long materials like lumber, piping, and steel beams that simply won’t fit in a 20ft unit.

3. The “High Cube” Advantage

While available in standard height (8’6”), the 40ft unit is most popular as a High Cube (9’6”). That extra foot of vertical height makes a massive difference for:

• Stacking pallets higher.
• Installing taller shelving units.
• Creating comfortable ceiling heights for living space conversions.

Popular Applications

• Construction & Industrial: Ideal for storing 20ft lengths of pipe, conduit, and lumber without cutting.
• Large Scale Retail: “Back of house” storage for major retailers during peak seasons (Christmas, Black Friday).
• Container Architecture: The 40ft High Cube is the primary building block for shipping container homes, multi-unit housing, and large commercial offices due to its length and height.
• Agricultural Storage: Hay, feed, and large machinery storage on farms.
   

Anrok Customization Options

Turn Volume into Utility.

• The “Double Door” Tunnel: Order a unit with doors on both ends (40ft DD) to access cargo from either side without unloading the whole container.
• Partition Walls: Split the 40ft length into two separate 20ft secure zones with a steel divider.
• Man Doors & Windows: Essential for office conversions or workshops to allow light and easy entry.
• Ventilation Upgrades: Whirlybirds and louvered vents to prevent condensation buildup in such a large air volume.

Logistics Note: Delivery of a 40ft unit requires significantly more space than a 20ft. Our tilt-bed trucks need approximately 100-120 feet of straight-line clearance to drop this unit.
