40’ Shipping Container dimensions and weight
Our 40ft shipping containers for sale are available in both Standard and High Cube size variations. What does this mean exactly? Basically, the overall sizing of the Standard and High Cube versions differs. The latter is better suited to objects that are higher or that require a forklift to move.
If you’re unsure about whether the size of our 40’ Conex container is right for you, feel free to check out our [20ft container](https://www.eveoncontainers.com/en-ca/used-20ft-shipping-container) to make a comparison. You can also learn more about the sizing of containers in our post on [how many pallets fit in a 40-container](https://www.eveoncontainers.com/en-ca/number-of-pallets-in-a-container).
When it comes to choosing the size of a container, our advice is — as always — carefully calculate the size and weight of the goods you want to store before purchasing.
Specifically, our **40’ containers** have the following standard dimensions:
40' length / 8' width / 8'6” height.
On the other hand, the **high cube** version has the following, slightly different exterior dimensions (specifically in terms of height):
40’ length / 8’ width / 9’6’’ height.
_Note that we’ll always indicate the exact dimensions of our containers on each of our product pages so you need not be worried._
