Sizes & condition

Buying a container is simpler than it sounds.

You really only need to make two big decisions: how much space you need, and how much you care about appearance. We can help with the rest.

Want the numbers? Full dimensions and condition specifications are on the Buy page.

Decision OneHow much space

Square footage measures the container's floor. Cubic footage includes its height and gives you a better picture of the total storage space available.

20 foot shipping container on a Central Virginia jobsite20 FT · STANDARD

20' Shipping Container

Approximately 160 sq. ft. | 1,170 cu. ft.

A good fit for residential storage, smaller loads, and tighter delivery locations.

40 foot steel shipping container placed on a Virginia property40 FT · STANDARD

40' Shipping Container

Approximately 320 sq. ft. | 2,385 cu. ft.

Twice the floor space of a 20' container — ideal when you have the room and need more storage.

40 foot high cube shipping container40 FT · HIGH CUBE

40' High Cube Container

Approximately 320 sq. ft. | 2,690 cu. ft.

The same floor space as a standard 40', but one foot taller — providing about 300 additional cubic feet for tall equipment, shelving, stacked materials, or modifications.


Square feet = floor space. Cubic feet = total storage capacity.

Decision TwoHow much appearance matters
Used wind and water tight shipping container on a Virginia farm

Used / Wind & Water Tight

Cost Effective - Best value when function matters more than looks.

Retired from cargo service, so scratches, dents and surface rust are normal. What matters is that the doors work and the container stays secure and dry.

6-year leak warranty

One-trip like-new shipping container

One-Trip / Like-New

Cleaner appearance. Newer condition. Long life ahead.

These have made a single loaded trip, so they are significantly cleaner than used units — newer paint, newer seals, more service life ahead.

15-year leak warranty

Delivery

From our yard to the right place on yours.

Getting it where you want it matters just as much.

Container delivery isn't the same as dropping off a package. Your driveway, ground conditions, overhead clearance, turns and final placement all matter. We’ll help you think through the site before delivery day.

Have questions?

That's what we're here for.

You don't have to know container terminology or truck clearance requirements before calling us.
