PRO’S AND CON’S OF A 20FT CONTAINER

For the Pro side ,The 20-foot containers have one distinct advantage over the 40-foot containers. They are significantly easier to transport and maneuver.  They are also cheaper than the 40-foot containers.  If you are on a limited budget, the 20-foot containers will be your best choice.

20ft  containers do have some Con’s too , each container offers a floor space of around 144 square feet. If you need a larger space your only option would be to combine two containers together.  Second, although individually they are cheaper than 40-foot containers, their price per square foot is actually more expensive. When shipping containers overseas 40ft containers are your best value

40ft OVERSEAS SHIPPING CONTAINER DIMENSIONS

The 40-foot container, offers exceptional value for money and twice the interior space. When relocating overseas 40ft containers are popular for shipping furniture and a vehicle too

PRO’S AND CONS OF A 40FT CONTAINER

Due to the 40-foot container’s size, there is more than 300 square feet of usable space in the interior.  Another advantage you have with the 40-foot container is that they represent greater value for money overall when compared to a 20-foot container. Because they are considerably longer you have the option to divide the container up into multiple rooms which you cannot do with the smaller 20-foot containers. “Heavy Tested” containers can hold approx 28,000.000KG. 40-foot containers are more expensive to transport and delivering these to remote locations can be challenging. They are also difficult to maneuver, so make sure you know exactly where you want them placed on your land before they are delivered.

High Cube Containers

If you are looking for a bit more height then a option may be a high cube container. High cube containers have the same width and length dimensions as a standard container  (as listed above), but they are an extra foot taller. High cube containers aren’t as common as standard containers they tend to be more expensive. Shipping lines only offer 40′ high cube containers for overseas shipping however 20′ high cube containers are available for purchase.

40ft HIGH CUBE OVERSEAS SHIPPING CONTAINER DIMENSIONS:

40FT  HIGH CUBE CONTAINER INTERNAL DIMENSIONS : L 12.03 X W 2.35 X H 2.64

Open Top Containers

Open top containers are self-explanatory. They are essentially the exact same as the containers mentioned above BUT, they don’t have a roof on them. You can get open top containers in both the standard 20-foot or 40-foot size and 40-foot high cube container sizes.

Remember that manufacturers have slightly different tolerance levels, normally +/-5 mm,  so make sure you contact the supplier to get the exact dimensions. All shipping containers should be made in compliance with ISO 668:2013 – Series 1 freight containers — Classification, dimensions and ratings, so take a look at the standards if you need classification information.
