A Genuine Working 40ft Shipping Container Offering Outstanding Value

If you’re looking for an affordable 40ft shipping container that remains structurally sound and ready for work, KNG70993 represents excellent value for money.

Manufactured in 2008, this standard-height ISO shipping container has many years of service still ahead of it and is ideally suited to commercial storage, industrial premises, farms, building sites and general business use.

Finished in RAL 5010 Gentian Blue, the container has naturally weathered over time and would certainly benefit cosmetically from a light preparation and fresh coat of paint if appearance is important. Structurally however, it remains a solid, dependable storage container ready for immediate use.

For customers who value practicality over appearance, this represents a very cost-effective solution.

Honest Description

At ContainerKing®, we believe customers appreciate an honest assessment rather than exaggerated sales claims.

• Roof is weathertight with no known leaks
• Doors open and close correctly
• Door hinges operate smoothly and are well lubricated
• Door seals remain in very good condition
• Heavy-duty marine plywood floor
• Original lock box fitted
• Structurally sound steel construction

Externally the paintwork shows the normal signs of age expected from a 2008-built container, but this is entirely cosmetic and does not affect its performance as a secure storage unit.

Practical Loading Improvement

An unusual but useful feature of this container is the addition of two heavy-gauge steel angle sections welded beneath the front door threshold.

These have been fitted to assist the use of forklift loading ramps, making loading and unloading easier in certain commercial environments.

For many industrial users this is a genuine practical advantage over a standard container.
