Use case · Warehousing
Overflow and modular warehouse space you own — 40FT high cubes that add capacity without a new lease or a build.
For warehousing, ACE Trading supplies 40FT high cube and standard containers across Saudi Arabia as overflow and modular storage — about 76 CBM each, lockable and weatherproof, from about SAR 9,800 used. Add capacity one unit at a time instead of a new lease. Delivered from Dammam with a same-day quote.
Updated
When a warehouse is full, containers are the fastest way to add covered, lockable space without taking on a new building lease or waiting on a steel-frame build. A 40FT high cube gives roughly 76 CBM — about twice a 20FT — for bulk stock, slow-moving lines, seasonal overflow and spares, and a row of them turns spare yard into modular storage you can expand one unit at a time. Many distributors and contractors use them as goods-in and quarantine bays, parts stores beside the line, or dry stores alongside a reefer for anything chilled. You own the space outright, so it keeps paying back against rent long after the first year.

Why it works
How it works
How much stock, how it is handled (pallets, loose, racked) and your yard space tells us the number of 40FT or 20FT units.
We quote the right grade and any options — vents, lighting, shelving, ramps — for a dry, workable store, as one unit or a row.
We deliver and position the containers on your yard, spaced for forklift access, ready to stock the same day.
