FAQ

How much does a used 40ft storage container cost?

40ft used shipping container rentals start from as low as 180 EUR per month, with a minimum term of three months. A one-time fee for delivery and pick-up are applied at the beginning of your rental term. In most cases, renting a 40ft used shipping container is cheaper than renting a self-storage unit of the same size (305 sq. ft.). In addition, you’re able to save on the petrol that would have been used to travel to and from a third-party storage facility.

What condition will I receive my rental container in?
We have an extensive inventory of used ‘cargo-worthy’ shipping containers available for rent, as well as new ‘one-trip’ condition containers available on request. If you don’t mind scuffs and dents, and want your container quickly, place your order through our one-page checkout. If you’d prefer a “good looking” 40ft shipping container, or have a specific colour request, speak to our sales team today.

What are the dimensions of a 40ft shipping container?
A 40ft shipping container is 40’L x 8’W x 8’6”H, with some dimensional tolerances as specified in ISO 668.

How many items can a 40ft shipping container hold?

40ft used shipping containers provide 305 sq. ft of usable storage space. This equates to 2,360 cubic ft. of volume v enough for 22 standard pallets, or the contents of a generous 4-5 bedroom home.
How long can I rent a 40ft used shipping container?

The minimum term for renting a container from CHS Container Group is four weeks. There is no maximum. You can either sign up for a fixed-term contract, or rent on a month-to-month basis.

If you’re considering renting a container for more than 12-18 months, you may want to consider buying a 40ft used container outright instead.

What restrictions are in place on a 40ft used rental?
Renting a 40ft used shipping container comes with a few guidelines. For example, you are not allowed to paint, sand, or in any way modify your rented container. The removal of identifying information, such as CSC plates and stickers, is also prohibited. And while some signs of use – such as minor scuffs and scrapes – are to be expected, any significant damage to the container while on your site or property can incur additional charges.
