What size container do I need?
Start with three things: how much you need to store, how much room you have for the container, and whether there is enough clear space for delivery.
A 20' uses the least space and fits most driveways and lots. A 40' gives you about twice the floor space. A 40' High Cube adds an extra foot of height on the same footprint.
20' or 40': which is better?
Pick a 20' when space is tight or you simply don't need the extra room.
Pick a 40' when you need more floor space and your site can fit the longer container and the truck that delivers it. Per square foot, a 40' is usually the better value.
Standard vs. High Cube: what's the difference?
Standard containers are 8'6" tall on the outside. High Cubes are 9'6", one foot taller.
That extra foot matters for tall equipment, shelving, or turning the container into a workspace. If you don't need the height, a Standard is often the simpler, lower-cost choice.
Why do you only sell new one-trip containers?
A one-trip container has made a single voyage from the factory. It arrives clean, straight and wind and watertight, with no rust patches or dents to worry about.
We think that is the best value for most buyers, and it lets us quote one clear price without condition surprises.
Before you order
Size affects delivery space
Our tilt-bed trucks need a straight, level run to slide the container off. Make sure your site has room for the container plus the truck.
