20ft Container
20ft Shipping Container
The 20ft standard container is the most ordered size in the UAE, compact enough for tight sites, with enough volume for most storage and shipping jobs.
Specifications
External: 6.06m long x 2.44m wide x 2.59m high. Internal capacity around 33 cubic metres, with a payload of roughly 28 tonnes depending on condition and certification. Built from corten steel with a single set of cargo doors.
Best uses
Site storage on tight plots, secure tool and equipment stores, small site offices, household moves, and shipping single consignments. Its smaller footprint means it can be placed and moved with a smaller truck than a 40ft unit.
New vs used 20ft containers
New and one-trip 20ft containers suit shipping and resale. Used, cargo-worthy, or as-is units cost less and are ideal for static storage. Compare options on our new containers and used containers pages.
Delivery
We deliver 20ft containers across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and the rest of the UAE. Delivery is usually confirmed the same day you enquire.
