Description of Construction and Materials

The 40ft double-door container is a durable steel container built from high-quality corten steel, which allows it to handle outdoor exposure, rough handling and helps with long-term use. The walls, roof, and doors are made from thick, corrugated steel panels that allow the container to resist impact and keep its shape even under heavy loads. This cargo container also includes a strong steel frame that supports full stacking strength.

Inside, the container has timber flooring that is strong enough for forklifts, pallet jacks, and heavy equipment. It has double doors on both ends, each with locking bars, rubber gasket seals, and anti-rust hardware to keep out water, dust, and pests. This makes it a weatherproof container that works well as a storage container, shipping unit, or structure for modification.

Compliance with ISO Standards

Every 40ft double-door shipping container from Pelican is an ISO standard container, approved for global transport and stacking. It meets structural and size requirements for shipping by sea, road, and rail.

The 40ft double-door container also comes with a valid CSC plate, confirming the container has passed safety and load testing required for international transport. Whether you’re storing goods locally or exporting overseas, this 40 ft tunnel container is fully approved and ready for use in any logistics network.

Benefits of Purchasing from Pelican Containers

Buying from Pelican Containers gives you access to high-quality containers backed by reliable customer support. We offer both new and used containers, giving you options based on budget and condition. All units are inspected for structural strength, watertight seals, flooring condition, and door function before they are sold.

With Pelican, you get durability, fair pricing, and a container that’s ready for work the day it arrives.

Unique Features and Advantages

The key advantage of this double-door container is its tunnel container design, which makes it an easy-access container. With doors at both ends, you can load or unload goods without shifting items around, which reduces handling time. This setup provides an efficient loading space and keeps the workflow simple and direct.

This design is ideal for businesses that need regular loading and unloading, manage split shipments, or rely on a container for transport and storage. It is also suitable for oversized cargo since both doors allow clear access and better space management.

How Is This Container Delivered?

Pelican Containers offers flexible container delivery based on your location, access, and site setup. We can arrange tilt-bed delivery, where the unit is placed directly on the ground, or flatbed delivery if you have lifting equipment.

Before delivery, we confirm road access, turning space, and the exact drop-off spot. You can also pick up the container from one of our depots if that works better. Every unit arrives fully built, sealed, and ready to use right away. It doesn’t require any assembly or extra steps.

In focus: 40ft Standard Shipping Containers | Used 40 foot Containers for Sale

One of the most popular boxes from our offerings, these 40ft standard containers usually carry bulky yet lighter cargo because of their payload of 20 tons. These are excellent for onsite storage, as their all-steel walls and load-bearing marine-grade plywood flooring make them extremely durable and weather-resistant. They are also used for living purposes and are preferred as dormitories for the laborers.

How is this container delivered?

0ft
Tilt Tray

The tilt tray delivers a container off the back of the truck. Similar to a tow truck, the tray is mechanically lowered at an angle, and the container is slid off, with the truck moving forward at a slow speed. This is the most common delivery method used for containers. Tilt trays are not suitable for sites with overhead power lines, as the container height increases significantly when tilted.

0ft
Side Loader

Side loaders are used to transport our 20-foot and 40-foot shipping containers. This is the best delivery method for containers at sites that have limited space either in front or behind the area where the container is to be positioned. The container is unloaded between the two outrigger feet of the side loader, approximately half a metre from the side of the truck.

0ft
Hiab Crane

Hiab cranes lift containers from a mechanism located behind the truck’s cabin. This is used when there is limited space for a side loader or tilt tray. Using a crane means the container is easily positioned at an angle or up on a raised area. It can also be used to place containers over a fence or other obstacles.

Taking a moment to send a big shot out to the Pelican Container Family…. I’m building a shipping container home using 45’ shipping containers. This project started when I purchased 4 boxes from conexwest who sold me (4) 45’ boxes for 6990.00 each (😳) only for 2 of them to be damaged with holes in the structure. They refunded 1 & refused to refund the other. To keep my project from being delayed during the damaged box dispute. I needed a total of 4 boxes to complete the project. I doubled back to conexwest & purchases 2 more boxes @ 6690.00 for 2 with delivery. This purchase was made on 11/23. Conexwest refused to deliver my boxes from purchase date to 9/15/25 only to refund me 9/16/25 after heing contacted by the new station about my order for the purchase made 11/23. I was without a box and came across Pelican Containers… the price I saw was totally fair. I reached out and was contacted by Roselle, she is absolutely perfect to work with. I wasn’t sure at first yet Roselle’s communication is top notch! The delivery was quick! The driver of the box was awesome! The transport team was very cool and flexible. The box showed up just as a used box should some rust… some dents…. Yet WWT for sure Cargo worthy… I’m very thankful and I will ALWAYS USE PELICAN CONTAINERS for my shipping continue purchases! Roselle thank you and your team & as we shared we will continue this business relationship for the time to come!

Valery was a pleasure to work with! She went above and beyond to locate, secure, and ship a flat rack container that suited our needs. We were on a tight schedule, and her diligence and efforts allowed us to purchase and take delivery of the container in just a few short days. She was a key factor in making our project a success! Thanks again, Valery and Pelican Containers!

We were looking for a unique style of container. The one we originally committed to purchasing was sold before we closed the deal. We ended up with a very nice container that had all the characteristics we required, but had a hinged double door on the side. It worked out nicely and Reniel Villar was true to his word. The 4 rating (still very good) was not a 5 due to timing and circumstance. We wood buy from Pelican again. Also, the logistics company's driver was spectacular.
