40ft Storage Container

Wind and water tight means the container is fully sealed against weather, with no holes, no daylight through the walls, and intact door gaskets that keep rain, wind, and pests out. Every Eagle WWT unit is inspected before it leaves the yard, so your contents stay dry and secure. WWT is the standard most customers want for general storage.

Double-door units have doors on both ends, so you can load from either side or create a drive-through for easy access to anything stored inside. Open-side units have doors that run the full length of one side, giving forklift access to the entire interior at once, ideal for long materials, pipe, or frequently accessed inventory.

With 25,000+ units staged across 20+ branches from Maine to Michigan, most markets are served within 24 to 48 hours. Delivery timing depends on your location and unit availability, so the fastest way to lock in a date is to request a quote and tell us when you need it on site.

You need a firm, level, accessible surface such as gravel, asphalt, or compacted ground, with enough clearance for our delivery truck to back in and tilt the container off. A 40′ container needs roughly 100′ of straight clearance to place. Your rep will walk through site requirements with you before the drop so there are no surprises.

You have three options: rent monthly with no long commitment, lease long-term at a better rate, or purchase the unit outright. Rentals include maintenance, so if anything needs attention during your rental, we handle it. Tell your rep how long you expect to need storage and we will recommend the most cost-effective path. We do have a 3-month minimum period for all rentals.

Containers are great for tools, equipment, materials, inventory, files, and seasonal goods. Avoid storing hazardous materials, fuel, or anything flammable, and check your rental agreement for restrictions. If you have a specialized storage need, ask us, we have served construction, retail, manufacturing, healthcare, and more since 1967.
