New 20 Foot Container

A new 20’ shipping container provides 160 square feet of secure storage space. Our new 20-foot containers are 20′ long, 8’-6’’ tall, and 8′ wide on the outside. This results in an interior height of 7’8”. New 20ft containers are often called one-trip or single-use because they’ve made one trip across the ocean.

 

They typically come in light gray or tan/beige color and feature a built-in lockbox for added security, air vents, and forklift pockets to make moving them around easy. You can expect your shipping container to be rust-free and have minimal (if any) dings or dents.

Each new 20-foot shipping container comes equipped with thick rubber door gaskets, which help keep the container free of wind, water, and rodents.

The majority of our 20-foot containers come with standard cargo doors; some containers feature roll-up doors or cargo doors on both ends.

Our container modification team can also add roll-up doors, lights, etc. to any of our 20ft. containers. The interior of our 20’ shipping containers are painted light gray or tan and the floor is made of thick plywood or eco-friendly bamboo.

Our new 20-foot shipping containers are our most popular container, by far. They are also the most abundantly-available, meaning they also come with the best overall price and value. New 20′ container prices can vary depending on the condition of the container and your location (delivery distance). Get the current price of a 20-foot container here. A new 20-ft container typically costs $2000 more than a used container. 

Used 20 Foot Container

A used 20’ shipping container also provides 160 ft sq square of storage space. Our used 20’ used containers are 20′ long, 8’-6″ tall, and 8′ wide on the outside. This results in an interior height of 7’8”. Used 20-foot shipping containers are anywhere from 8-15 year’s old. They’ve had a good life in the shipping industry and are ready to be repurposed for non-cargo uses. However, these containers are still completely wind and water-tight and could still be used to shipped overseas if needed.

Used 20’ shipping containers can come in a variety of colors, including dark red, dark blue, dark green and occasionally orange or brown. Our expert modification team can modify your used 20’ container by adding a lockbox, custom paint, doors, windows, electrical outlets, overhead lights, or anything else to make your used 20-foot shipping container even more useful.
