Used Shipping Container Types & Specifications

The complete guide to 20ft, 40ft, and 40ft HC shipping containers: dimensions, materials, strength ratings, and more.

Standard Container Types

The global shipping industry runs on ISO-certified standardized formats. For land-based storage, construction, and logistics, you will encounter three primary configurations — 20ft, 40ft, and 40ft High Cube — each engineered to solve different problems.

Standard Container Types

20ft Standard Container

The workhorse of the industry. Compact enough for most residential driveways, yet offers ~1,170 cubic feet of usable volume. Exterior: 20' L × 8' W × 8' 6" H.

20ft Standard Container

40ft Standard Container

Exactly double the floor space of a 20ft at standard height. Requires at least 120 feet of clearance for tiltbed delivery. Exterior: 40' L × 8' W × 8' 6" H.

40ft Standard Container

40ft High Cube

One foot taller than standard 40ft — ideal for tall equipment, vertical racking, or conversion projects. Exterior height: 9' 6". Interior volume: ~2,690 ft³.

40ft High Cube
