New 40ft (12 m) shipping container
The 40ft container, known as the "12-metre" one, has twice the space of a 20ft: about 67 m³ and 25 euro pallets. Companies choose it for larger loads, warehouses and modular buildings.
A new one-trip 40ft container has made a single voyage, carries a valid CSC plate and has near-perfect paint and floor. We also build our larger living and office modules from containers like this.
