Delivery of 2 used 40-foot containers to Les Epesses (Vendée, 85)

The Cubner team delivered two used 40-foot shipping containers to Menuiserie Murzeau in Les Epesses (85590), Vendée. The client needed to create a secure and watertight storage space on their site to protect wood, panels, finished products, and workshop equipment. A used 40-foot container offers approximately 67 m³ of enclosed, dry, and lockable volume, with an indicative price of around €1,700 excluding VAT per unit (excluding transport). With 12 years of experience, 13 depots in France, and over 10,000 containers delivered, Cubner manages the entire process, from selecting the container to its placement on the client's site.

The project in brief: 2 x used 40' units delivered to Vendée

La Murzeau CarpentryA specialist in interior and exterior joinery, custom furniture, and timber framing, needed additional storage space at its Epesses site. Two used 40-foot containers were chosen: a quick solution to implement and significantly more economical than a brick extension.

• 2 used 40-foot shipping containers, watertight (wind & watertight)
• Usable volume of approximately 67 m³ per container, i.e. ~134 m³ in total
• Delivery and ground placement at the customer's site in Les Epesses (85)
• Use: stationary storage of materials and wooden structures protected from moisture

Why use a second-hand 40-foot container for storage?

The used 40-foot container is the go-to option for those seeking a large storage volume at the best price, among our range of shipping containersFor a carpentry workshop like Murzeau's, the challenge is twofold: freeing up space in the workshop and protecting sensitive materials. Wood, panels, and finished products before installation are susceptible to moisture; a closed, watertight steel container effectively protects them while remaining lockable against theft. It's a secure storage space that can be installed in just a few hours, without heavy foundations, and can be moved if the site changes.

• Large immediate volume: ~67 m³ by 40 feet, for lengths of wood, panels and machinery
• Controlled budget: indicative price of approximately €1,700 excluding VAT per used container. Security: enclosed steel structure, lockable doors, intrusion-resistant.
• Protection: Waterproof shelter against rain, ideal for moisture-sensitive materials
• Quick installation: simply place on the ground on a stable surface, without major construction work.

Technical specifications of the 40-foot container

The containers delivered are standard 40-foot containers (ISO 42G1 type). Here are the reference dimensions and capacities for this size. ⚠️ Values ​​correspond to the market standard; exact dimensions and weights may vary slightly from one unit to another, depending on the manufacturing plant.

Occasion or first trip: what's the difference?

Before buying a shipping container, you have two options: a used container, the most economical, and a one-trip container, considered new because it has only made one journey from its place of manufacture to its port of destination in Europe. The latter benefits from the Lifetime warranty on first-trip containersThe table below summarizes the differences to help you choose according to your budget and intended use.

Important note: Cubner's lifetime warranty applies exclusively to first-trip containers. For storage purposes like those of Menuiserie Murzeau, a used container remains the best value for money.

How does the delivery of a 40-foot container work?

Delivery of a 40-foot container is carried out by truck equipped with a lifting arm or by flatbed truck with a crane, depending on site access. The container is placed directly in the desired location, ideally on a flat and stabilized surface (compacted gravel, concrete slab, or concrete blocks) to guarantee watertightness and long-term stability. In Les Epesses, the two units were positioned on a stabilized area, ready for immediate use upon delivery.

• Prepare a clear access for the truck (width, height, load-bearing ground)
• Ensure a stable and level surface is available for placement.
• Reserve sufficient maneuvering space for unloading.
• Check with the town hall the applicable urban planning regulations depending on the duration of the establishment
