Dimensions

At ContainerCo we have 3 main sizes, 10 ft, 40 ft and 20 ft containers for sale. When looking to hire or buy containers, it’s important to understand their dimensions. It is also handy to ascertain which items you want to store and the volume of goods.

It’s also important to consider the nature of what you are trying to fit into the container. For example, some items won’t stack efficiently and leave air space in the container if they are too big. Smaller and more compact items leave little to no air space.

Packing material that may be needed should be factored in. If you are storing more fragile items and need packing material, this increases the volume of the items. This should be considered when choosing your container.

A 20ft container is 20 ft in length. The internal dimensions of the container are as follows: 5.90m in length, 2.35m in width and 2.39m in height. The high cube shipping containers we offer are 2.70m high, which is perfect for taller or more oddly shaped items.
