40ft Portable Homes

Products

Experience the ultimate in portable living with our 40ft modular homes – the premium offering from Ready Nest. These large 40-foot container homes deliver the space and comfort of a traditional house, all within a relocatable, modular format. With up to 72m² of living area (when using fold-out sections), the 40ft model provides ample room for multiple bedrooms, a full kitchen, and comfortable living areas. It’s an excellent choice for families, SDA clients, or any application requiring a bit more elbow room. If you’re looking for a true home away from home (or a primary home you can set up fast), the 40ft model is the answer.

Container transformed into a cozy small home

Key Features & Specs:

Spacious Design: The 40ft portable home is roughly double the size of our 20ft unit, making it comparable to a small apartment or cottage – without the long build time. You can configure up to a 2 or 3-bedroom layout in this model. For example, a popular design is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom layout: master bedroom with ensuite, a second bedroom, another full bathroom, plus an open-plan kitchen/living area. There’s also space for extras like an internal laundry, a study nook, or built-in storage closets.
Full-Featured Kitchen: In a 40ft home, you get a complete residential-style kitchen. There’s room for standard appliances – fridge, oven, cooktop, rangehood – and generous counter and cabinet space for those who love to cook. We can even accommodate a small island or breakfast bar in some layouts. The larger footprint means you won’t have to sacrifice on culinary needs; entertain family and friends just as you would in a regular home.
Comfortable Living & Bedrooms: The living room in the 40ft model can fit a full-size sofa set and dining table, providing a true homey feel. Bedrooms are comfortably sized to fit queen beds (or two twin beds/bunks in secondary rooms). We include proper interior doors for privacy. All plumbing and electrical systems are robust, handling the demands of a larger household. Climate control options (split-system air conditioners or heat pumps) can be installed to ensure the whole home stays cool in summer and cozy in winter.
High-Quality Finishings: Ready Nest takes pride in delivering a 40ft home that feels premium. Expect finishing touches like modern bathroom fixtures, stylish lighting, and durable exterior cladding that enhances the look of the container. The structure itself is reinforced for strength and longevity – our 40ft units are designed to last, with corrosion-resistant coatings and solid engineering. Every unit undergoes rigorous quality checks before delivery, so you can trust it’s safe and built to Australian standards.

HPS-Compliant Upgrades (Accessibility): The 40ft model is particularly suited for Specialist Disability Accommodation needs. We offer optional High Physical Support (HPS) upgrades to make the home fully accessible for individuals with high support requirements. These upgrades include features such as wider doorways and hallways (to easily accommodate wheelchairs), ramp access instead of steps, a spacious accessible bathroom with roll-in shower and grab rails, and reinforced ceilings for the installation of hoist systems. We can also integrate smart home technology (automatic doors, voice-activated lighting, etc.) and backup power solutions for medical equipment. With these modifications, our 40ft container homes can comply with SDA design standards, providing a safe and empowering environment for people with disabilities and their carers.

Ideal Uses

The 40ft portable home is incredibly versatile. It makes a fantastic family home – for instance, use it as a secondary dwelling on your property for extended family, or as a quick-to-deploy primary home on your own land. Government and commercial clients find the 40ft model useful for community housing projects, classroom blocks, or larger site offices that require multiple private rooms (e.g. manager’s office, meeting room, first aid room under one roof). In rural or remote areas, a 40ft can serve as a comfortable field base for operations or tourism (think eco-resort cabins or farm stays with all the comforts of home). Because of its size, this model is the closest you get to a traditional house in a portable format – it truly opens up possibilities for living and working spaces wherever you need them.

Customization Options

Just like our other models, the 40ft home can be customized extensively. Perhaps you want a specific interior style – we can offer bespoke cabinetry, premium countertops, or even hardwood flooring for a luxury feel. If the unit will serve as an SDA home, we’ll work with you to tailor the design to the occupant’s needs (for example, installing an intercom or nurse-call system, customizing countertop heights, or creating an overnight carer’s room). For those using 40ft units commercially, we can outfit them with specialized equipment or furniture (like built-in desks, shelving, or data cabling for offices). You can also choose exterior customizations: add an covered veranda, attach multiple 40ft units together for a larger complex, or pick a custom paint color to match your branding or surroundings. We’re all about delivering a solution that fits your unique vision.

Despite its size, the 40ft model is still faster and often more cost-effective than constructing a building from scratch. We handle the heavy lifting – design, build, and delivery – so you can start using your new space in a fraction of the time.
