Andrew’s 40ft Container Recommendations
Andrew Jones is the 4th generation leader of S Jones’ family business. Here are some of his expert tips for getting the most out of your 40ft container:
40ft shipping containers are long steel tubes with an internal length of 12 metres. You only want to use a 40ft container if you don’t need regular access to items stored at the far end of the unit. This is because you’ll lose a lot of internal space by making a corridor to get from one end to the other.
Therefore, 40ft shipping containers are generally preferred for large volumes of stock that need to be stored on pallets or moved in bulk. For added cubic capacity, ‘high cube’ 40ft containers give you an extra 300mm (1 foot) of height. Reach out to our friendly sales team for a detailed walkthrough of the differences and benefits of each container design.
