About 40 Foot Storage Containers in Australia
Shipping and storage containers are widely used across Australia due to their strength, portability, and adaptability. A 40 foot container offers substantial internal capacity, making it ideal for large volume storage or long items that cannot fit into smaller units.
What sets this particular container apart is its access configuration. Instead of relying on a single door at one end, it includes four side doors and double end doors, dramatically improving usability.
Key advantages of a 40 foot container include:
- Large internal storage capacity
- Strong steel construction
- Easy transport and relocation
- Long service life in harsh conditions
Why Side Door and Double End Access Matters
Traditional containers can be inconvenient when items stored at the far end are difficult to reach. The inclusion of multiple side doors and end doors solves this problem by allowing direct access to different sections of the container.
Improved Accessibility
With four side doors evenly spaced along the container, users can access specific items without unloading everything in front. This saves time and reduces handling effort.
Better Organisation
Multiple access points allow for logical storage zones inside the container. Equipment, materials, and tools can be grouped by use or project, improving efficiency.
Safer Handling
Reduced need to climb or move heavy items lowers the risk of injury, particularly in worksite environments.
Built for Australian Conditions
Australian conditions can be unforgiving, with exposure to heat, dust, rain, and heavy use. This 40 foot storage container is designed to withstand these challenges through robust construction and secure door systems.
Typical features include:
- Heavy duty steel frame

- Durable flooring suitable for equipment and pallets
These features make the container suitable for both short term and long term storage needs.
