20ft Container Dimensions & Details

The 20ft standard container: sometimes called a TEU (Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit) or a conex box: is the global standard in intermodal shipping.

At 20 feet long and 8 feet wide, it fits in many residential driveways, as long as the delivery truck has the straight run and clearance it needs.

Condition Options

Used WWT vs. One-Trip: Which Is Right for You?

Used Wind & Water Tight (WWT)

Inspected and certified to keep wind and water out. Shows the normal cosmetic wear you'd expect from a container that's spent years in commercial shipping service: surface rust, paint chips, minor dents. But the interior stays dry, the doors seal tight, and the floor is structurally solid. For a deeper breakdown of every grade we sell, see our container condition guide.

Best for: General storage, construction sites, farm and ranch use, any application where appearance is less important than value.

A 20ft option for Colorado homeowners and ranchers.

One-Trip (Like New)

Made a single ocean crossing from the factory and is essentially brand new. Minimal cosmetic marks from that one voyage, clean and dry interior, excellent floor condition, like-new paint. More expensive than used WWT.

Best for: Conversions, food-adjacent storage, buyers for whom appearance matters, sensitive storage applications.

Use Cases

Uses for a 20ft Container

Home Renovation Storage

A 20ft container in the driveway can hold furniture and belongings during a kitchen remodel, basement finishing, or a whole-home renovation.

Colorado Ranch Storage

A smaller ranch or hobby farm can use a 20ft container for hand tools, fencing supplies, tack, small equipment, and seasonal items that do not need a full 40ft.

Contractor Tool Storage

A 20ft container suits a smaller job site where a 40ft is too large or too hard to position. It locks and is weather-tight for tools and materials.

Mountain Property Gear

A 20ft container at a mountain cabin in Summit County or Grand County can hold snowmobiles, ATVs, ski gear, and off-season equipment in weatherproof storage.

Small Business Overflow

A small business such as a retailer, landscape company, or equipment rental operation can use a 20ft container for seasonal inventory overflow.

Vehicle & Classic Car Storage

A 20ft container is wide enough to hold a motorcycle or ATV. A closed steel container keeps a vehicle out of hail and direct sun.

FAQ

20ft Container Questions

It fits when the delivery truck has 110 feet of straight, unobstructed clearance to position and tilt the container off. The container itself is 20 feet long and 8 feet wide. If your driveway is tight, send a photo or description with your quote request so it can be reviewed before a delivery date is scheduled. HOA properties may have placement restrictions, so check before ordering.
Used WWT suits general storage, renovation, or moving: it is inspected, certified to keep weather out, and costs less than one-trip. One-trip suits a buyer who wants the cleanest interior or is planning a conversion project (office, studio, etc.).
