40ft High Cube with Side Opening in Cairns

Home > 40ft > Used > Side Opening High Cube > Cairns

If you're in the market for a shipping container, you may want to consider the benefits of a used 40ft side opening high cube container. These containers are a popular choice for a variety of applications and are available for purchase from ABC Container Hire and Sales in Cairns.

One of the key benefits of a 40ft container is its size. With a length of 40 feet, these containers offer ample space for storage or conversion into a living or working space. The high cube design also provides additional vertical space, making it easy to store large or bulky items.

Another advantage of a side opening container is the easy access it provides. With doors on the side of the container, you can easily load and unload items without having to climb in and out of the container through the end doors. This makes it an ideal choice for businesses that need to quickly load and unload goods.

A used container can also be a cost-effective option for those on a budget. While 10ft containers may seem like a cheaper option than 20ft ones, this is not always the case. Due to the economies of scale, 20ft and 40ft containers are often more cost-effective in terms of price per square foot of storage space.

At ABC Container Hire and Sales, we take pride in offering high-quality containers that meet our customers' needs. Our used 40ft side opening high cube containers are thoroughly inspected to ensure they are in good condition and ready for use. If you're in Cairns or the surrounding area, we invite you to contact us to learn more about how a used container can benefit your business or personal needs.
