Container Guide
Shipping Container Sizes & Types
Not sure which container you need? Here is a quick, plain-language breakdown of the containers we buy, sell, and rent across the UAE.
20ft container
About 6 metres long, 2.4 metres wide, and 2.6 metres high. The most common size for tight storage on site, a small site office, or moving a single household. Easy to move and place with a smaller truck.
40ft container
About 12 metres long, double the floor space of a 20ft unit. The go-to choice for shipping companies and freight forwarders, and a popular pick for larger storage needs on construction sites and warehouses.
40ft high cube
Same footprint as a standard 40ft container, but about 30cm taller. That extra height adds useful volume, which makes it a good fit for bulky goods, furniture, or stacking shelving inside for storage.
Reefer container
A refrigerated container with its own cooling unit, used for transporting or storing perishable goods like food and pharmaceuticals. Available for sale or rent, with both 20ft and 40ft options.
