New 20ft shipping container
The 20ft shipping container is the most popular size: roomy enough for most needs, yet easy to place even on a small plot. A new (one-trip) container has made only one voyage, has a valid CSC plate and is in near-perfect condition.

Price and delivery
The price of a new 20ft container depends on its height (standard or high cube), colour, quantity and delivery location. Containers already in stock, many with a price, are listed under Containers in stock.
A 20ft container is usually delivered by a small crane truck: a 6-7.5 m platform, 10-15 t lifting capacity and 9-12 m reach, so the container can be placed even behind a fence or between buildings. Not sure about the size? Compare it with the 40ft container or read 20ft or 40ft container.
What to prepare for delivery day
Make sure the truck can reach the spot, that there are no power lines or tree branches above it and that the base is level and firm - for example concrete blocks, paving or compacted gravel. Think about which way the container doors should face so that they open easily. Read more in how to prepare the ground for a container.
