The 20ft container is the workhorse of the yard: a 20x8x8'6" steel box that holds roughly 1,170 cubic feet yet drops onto a single parking space. We stock one-trip, cargo-worthy, and used wind-and-water-tight units, plus open-top, flat-rack, double-door, and insulated variants for almost any job.

20ft Shipping Containers for Sale

A standard 20ft container measures 20x8x8'6" externally and weighs around 9,260 lb tare, with interior space close to 1,170 cubic feet. It's the size most buyers start with because a tilt-bed truck can set it on a driveway, a back lot, or a tight job site without a crane. The footprint is roughly that of a single parking space, yet one box swallows the contents of a two-car garage. We carry the full range of conditions, from near-pristine one-trip units to budget used boxes that are still certified wind and water tight.

What you can do with a 20ft box

  • On-site tool and equipment lockup with cam-locking double doors
  • Inventory and seasonal storage for retail or restaurants
  • Farm and ranch storage for feed, tack, and machinery
  • Conversions: workshops, pop-up bars, offices, and bunded chemical stores
  • Job-site security where a steel container beats a wooden shed
  • Insulated or anti-condensation builds for sensitive goods

Choosing the right condition

One-trip units have made a single cargo voyage and look almost new, ideal for modifications or anywhere appearance matters. Cargo-worthy boxes are inspected used containers, structurally sound and certified wind and water tight, with cosmetic surface rust and minor dings. Used wind-and-water-tight (WWT) units are the value pick for plain dry storage where looks don't count. Our 20ft lineup also includes open-top, flat-rack, double-door, and roll-up-door layouts when standard cargo doors won't cut it.

Specs and delivery

The floors are marine-grade plywood over steel cross-members, rated to take a loaded forklift, and the doors seal with rubber gaskets and locking bars. Need more length or interior height? Step up to 40ft containers for double the floor space, or look at high cube containers for an extra foot of headroom. If you're weighing new against pre-owned, compare prices on used shipping containers first. Exact interior and door measurements are listed on our container dimensions page so you can confirm a forklift or pallet load will fit before you buy.

Every 20ft order ships with flat $500 delivery to all 50 states, usually 1-3 days handling and 3-10 days in transit. Clear a level approach about 60 feet long and 12 feet wide so the tilt-bed can back in and slide the box into place. A bed of gravel or timber sleepers under the corner castings keeps the floor dry and the doors square for years.

Not sure which condition or layout fits your budget and your load? Tell us what you're storing and where it's going, and we'll point you to the right 20ft unit in stock. Every box is backed by our 30-day return policy, so you can buy with confidence whether it's your first container or your tenth.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a 20ft shipping container cost?
Our 20ft units run roughly $1,050 for used wind-and-water-tight boxes up to around $20,500 for fully modified or insulated builds. One-trip and cargo-worthy 20ft containers sit in between. Every price includes flat $500 nationwide delivery.
What are the exact dimensions of a 20ft container?
A standard 20ft container is 20ft long, 8ft wide, and 8'6" tall externally, with about 1,170 cubic feet inside and a tare weight near 9,260 lb. The door opening is roughly 7'8" wide by 7'5" high. See full figures on our container specifications page.
How much room do I need for delivery?
Plan on a firm, level approach about 60 feet long and 12 feet wide so the tilt-bed truck can back in and slide the container off. The ground where it sits should be level and well-drained to protect the floor and doors.
Can a 20ft container be modified?
Yes. 20ft units are the most common base for offices, workshops, bars, and storage conversions with windows, doors, electrics, and shelving. Start with a one-trip box for the cleanest finish and request a quote with your spec.
Do I need a permit to put one on my property?
Permit rules vary by city and county, and a stationary storage container is often treated differently than a permanent structure. Check with your local zoning office before delivery; we can supply dimensions and weight for your application.
