Standard Shipping Containers

The most readily available types of standard shipping container are General Purpose (Dry Vans). These are available in 10’, 20’ or 40’ lengths, with each container type having an external width of 8’ and a height of 8’6”. 20’ and 40’ High Cube shipping containers are also available and the increased height of 9’6” can provide useful extra capacity. The width is the same as the standard containers at 8’.

These are a smaller alternative to a 20’ standard shipping container. When your site is constrained by space, these are great options to store your goods.

Often used on construction sites, gardening centres, for offshore marine activity and for general domestic self-storage. Our wind and watertight 10’ shipping containers come with multiple air vents, a variety of door choices and a lockbox (optional). These containers can be delivered on a rigid HIAB.

20’ High Cube

20’ High Cubes are the same length as our 20’ Standard shipping containers, but they have an extra 1 ft of height. This gives you extra loading clearance and therefore additional capacity for storage. Often used to transport slightly bulkier goods, when a standard 20’ won’t quite manage the job. Our 20’ High Cubes come in a variety of colours, age profiles and specifications.
