LGI Transport has a huge selection of used containers for sale. Knowing those terms will make it much easier for you to find the right container for the right price. But what you also need to know are the different sizes. Keep in mind that there are different measurements for both the exterior and the interior of the container. You don’t want to wind up buying one that isn’t big enough to fit what you’re storing. On the other hand, you don’t want to overpay for space when a smaller one will do. This guide will help you pick one that is just right.
