A 6-metre container for goods, tools and equipment
A standard 20ft dry freight container is 6.058 m long externally. It provides separate storage at a business, farm or construction site. Before ordering, measure the equipment you need to move inside and allow working space at the doors.
Usable room and loading access
The standard reference model measures 5898 × 2352 × 2393 mm internally. Its door opening is 2336 mm wide and 2291 mm high. Cargo must fit through the doorway as well as inside the body. Check cargo weight and concentrated floor loads separately.
A new or one-trip 20ft container
A one-trip container has typically carried its first cargo after manufacture. Minor handling marks are possible. Ask for photographs of the selected unit and agree the condition of its floor, doors and seals.
Standard or high cube height
The standard model is 2591 mm high externally. If you need more headroom, ask about a 20ft high cube configuration and availability. The standard measurements on this page are not an HC specification. For a conversion, allow for the space taken up by insulation and lining.
New 20ft container prices
Send the quantity, intended use and delivery address for a quote. Configuration, equipment and availability affect the price. For export cargo, include the route and cargo requirements. The CSC plate and examination status should be checked before purchase.
Delivery and positioning
Send photographs of the approach, the gate width and the proposed container position. We will agree transport and unloading. Prepare a stable, level base. For moisture-sensitive goods, plan ventilation and condensation control too.
Choose between a 20ft and a 40ft container
A new 40ft container offers roughly twice the standard volume for larger stock holdings. It is also about twice as long. If site space is limited, compare the 10ft model.
