Popular Sizes of Shipping Containers

20-Foot Shipping Containers

The 20-foot shipping container is one of the most popular sizes for both storage and shipping. Measuring approximately 20 feet in length, 8 feet in width, and 8.5 feet in height, it offers around 1,165 cubic feet of storage space. This size is ideal for smaller-scale storage needs, such as seasonal inventory, equipment storage, or personal belongings. It’s also commonly used in small businesses and construction sites where space is limited but secure storage is essential.

40-Foot Shipping Containers

For larger storage needs, the 40-foot shipping container provides twice the space of the 20-foot model. With dimensions of roughly 40 feet in length, 8 feet in width, and 8.5 feet in height, it offers approximately 2,350 cubic feet of storage capacity. This size is suitable for larger shipments, significant amounts of inventory, or bulky items. It’s often used in warehouse operations, commercial settings, and for moving homes or large quantities of goods.

40-Foot High Cube Containers

The 40-foot high cube container is an enhanced version of the standard 40-foot container, offering additional height. Measuring about 40 feet in length, 8 feet in width, and 9.5 feet in height, it provides around 2,700 cubic feet of storage space. The extra height is particularly useful for accommodating taller items and maximizing storage efficiency. This size is popular for both shipping and long-term storage, making it a versatile choice for many businesses and individuals.

Buying or Renting Cargo Containers

Buying Containers

If you need a container for long-term use, purchasing a new or used container might be the best option. New containers are typically in pristine condition, providing the highest level of reliability and security. They are ideal for businesses that require consistent, long-term storage solutions.

Used containers offer a cost-effective alternative and can be a great choice for less demanding applications. They may show signs of wear but are often still in good condition and can be refurbished if necessary.

Renting Containers

Renting a cargo container is a flexible solution for temporary needs. Whether you’re storing equipment for a short-term project or need additional space for a few months, renting allows you to access the container you need without a long-term commitment. Rental options often include maintenance and delivery services, making the process convenient and hassle-free.
