Our shipping containers and storage containers come in various sizes to meet your needs. The most common lengths are 20ft and 40ft, with a standard width of 8ft. The height is typically 8ft 6″, but we also offer high cube containers that are 9ft 6″ tall. In addition, we have small new build containers that are perfect for tight spaces and areas with limited room. No matter the size or space constraints, we have a solution to fit your requirements.

Shipping containers typically have corrugated sides, with a depth of approximately 1 inch (25mm), resulting in a loss of 2 inches (50mm) from the external width. The back (blank end) is also corrugated, and the doors are about 2 inches (50mm) thick, resulting in a loss of approximately 3 inches (75mm) from the length. The height of the container has the most significant reduction from external to internal dimensions. The floor of a standard container has an underside clearance of around 6 inches (150mm), and the floor itself is 27mm (1.1 inches) thick. The corrugated roof further reduces the internal height by 1 inch (25mm). As the door height is also reduced due to the steel top rail above the door, the entrance height is typically 7ft 6 inches (2.28m) after accounting for a 4-inch (100mm) reduction, though this can vary slightly. It’s important to note that dimensions and weights of containers can vary between units and cut-down containers may have different sizes and weights due to fabrication processes. Please be aware that the information provided is for basic indication only and ContainerContainer cannot be held to these dimensions.

There are three important weights associated with shipping containers: the Tare weight, the Gross weight, and the Payload. These weights are typically displayed on the outside of the container doors when it is in service or before it is repainted for another application. The Tare weight refers to the weight of the container itself without any cargo or contents. The Gross weight is the total weight of the container, including its maximum Payload, which is the maximum weight of cargo or contents that the container can hold. The Payload, also known as the Net weight, is the weight of the actual cargo or contents that the container can carry.
