20ft standard containers

20ft or 6 metre containers are our most popular container, their size can be compared roughly to a single garage so they have plenty of room! 20ft containers can be used for storage or shipping, they are available as new or used units and are available anywhere in the UK. 20ft steel containers are also available in a high cube version providing an extra foot of height for those oversized items.

Our ​20ft storage containers are suitable for a wide range of uses from the building block to your container modification to a little (or a lot!) extra storage for your home or business. Used 20ft containers tend to vary in appearance, they are a wide range of colours but the most popular tend to be Harvest Gold, Blue or Oxide Red.  New 20ft containers tend to be available in blue or green. Whether you select a new or a used 20ft shipping container, you can be reassured that you will be receiving a product that is robust, weather proof and long-lasting.
