Maximum Storage, Best Value
The 40ft WWT Standard is the go-to choice when you need serious storage space without paying for certification you won’t use.
Why 40ft WWT is the Smart Buy
Let’s do the math:
- $2,450 for 2,390 cubic feet = $1.02 per cubic foot
- Compare to 20ft WWT: $1,650 for 1,172 cu ft = $1.41 per cubic foot
The 40ft gives you 38% better value per cubic foot of storage.
