20ft shipping containers

The 20ft container is the standard sized shipping container and is the most popular sized container when it comes to sales and hires. The 20ft shipping container is an extremely versatile product that has ample room to provide additional storage for the home, office or building site. The 20ft containers can also be accessorised in a number of different ways with vents, ramps, shelving, electrics, plumbing and more.

The 20ft shipping container is designed and constructed for the transportation of general cargo at sea and on land (road or rail) throughout the world, and will be suitable for the environmental conditions imposed by those modes of transport.

Tilt Tray Truck – We typically deliver most 20FT’s with a Tilt Tray as it’s the most cost effective method, saving the customer money.
Side Loader Truck – Used for 40FT deliveries. Containers are swung off to the drivers side only. The side loader truck is approximately 18m long and when swinging the container off will need a width of 5.5m
Hiab/Crane Truck: Required for difficult jobs over fences etc or when accuracy of placement is required. Hiabs are typically more expensive due to the type of truck but you will be pleased with the outcome.
