40ft Shipping Containers for Sale in BC — New & Used
40ft units aren't kept in our yard — we source new or used (incl. High Cube) to order and deliver BC-wide.
40ft shipping containers in BC give you about double the floor of a 20ft — roughly 67 m³ — which is why they're the go-to for big storage, two-vehicle parking, and ADU or shop conversions. We don't keep 40ft units sitting in our Richmond yard; instead we source them new or used, including High Cube, to match what your project actually needs.
Because each 40ft is sourced or built to order, we lead with a quote rather than a shelf price — you tell us condition, doors, and where it's going in BC, and we price it honestly with delivery handled. Not sure 40ft is the right call? Compare sizes in our 20ft vs 40ft guide, then get a quote.

We don't stock 40ft units on the lot — we source each one to order, new or used, and deliver it across BC on a tilt-deck truck. You get the exact container for your job, not whatever happened to be sitting in the yard.
