The shaded area is the door opening: it is what determines what fits, not the volume. It loses little in width — 2.340 m against 2.352 m inside — but more than ten centimetres in height, 2.278 m against 2.385 m. A load that fits within the volume but exceeds the lintel remains on the quay. Scale drawing, traced over the dimensions in the table below.

The ISO 668 rating ceiling is not the capacity of the unit offered. Do not calculate a payload by subtracting the indicative tare from that ceiling. Obtain the actual unit's plate and specification for its tare, maximum gross mass and permitted payload, and confirm its current condition before loading or lifting.

Is this container right for your project?

Used standard 20ft shipping container (Dry, ISO 22G1) sold as-is, with condition and watertightness unconfirmed. Assess a written defect report and repair needs before selecting any storage or conversion use; structural, lifting and freight suitability are not established by this grade. Applicable statutory consumer rights remain. Reference size: 6.06 m long, 2.44 m wide, 2.59 m high.

Storage for equipment and stock

Just over 6 m long, this size can suit furniture, site tools or business stock. Measure what you need to store and allow room for access. Confirm the required capacity, delivery access and condition.

A standard design

Corrugated steel walls, doors at one end and a timber floor. Confirm the actual unit's condition, lifting points and assessed capacity before lifting or stacking it; the original container design does not establish the safety of a damaged or altered unit.

As-is: assess the actual condition

Condition, structural suitability and watertightness are unconfirmed. Obtain a written defect report and assess repairs before choosing a use. The description does not remove applicable statutory consumer rights.

20ft container delivery: access and offloading

Enquire about delivery to England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Coverage, lead time, transport and offloading charges depend on the postcode and site assessment. Request delivered price and confirm the full amount before agreeing to buy. Islands, remote locations and Northern Ireland may require separate transport arrangements.

Allow for a footprint of about 6.06 × 2.44 m, door opening and the proposed vehicle and lifting equipment. Ask the delivery team to assess gate width, turning space, overhead obstructions, ground bearing capacity and outrigger space. Confirm the actual unit weight and lifting points; access and crane reach cannot be approved from container dimensions alone.

Questions about the 20ft used as-is container

What is the price of a 20ft used as-is container?
Our sale price is £672 incl. VAT per container (£560 excl. VAT; VAT rate 20 %). Delivery and offloading are extra, depending on your postcode, lorry access and unloading method. Optional repainting or alterations are quoted separately. Request the full delivered total before any order.
Where do you deliver, and how much does delivery cost?
You can enquire about delivery to England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland; availability must be confirmed for your postcode. Delivery and unloading costs depend on your postcode, lorry access and unloading method. Ask for a written quotation including applicable VAT, delivery, offloading and any mandatory charges after access and the planned location have been checked. Remote locations, islands and Northern Ireland may require a separate transport arrangement.
What needs to be prepared on site?
Agree load-bearing ground, foundations or supports, vehicle access and the unloading plan with the supplier and a competent site professional. Mention overhead power lines, narrow gates, slopes and buried services. A generic footprint is not a foundation design or lift plan.
Can I see the container before confirming?
Request recent photos and, where possible, an inspection of the proposed unit before agreeing to buy. For a used container, they show the real condition of the doors, floor and walls.
Cargo-worthy, wind and watertight used or as-is: what's the difference?
Cargo-worthy describes a unit offered for freight use: verify inspection, current CSC examination status and carrier acceptance. WWT describes wind and watertight storage condition, not shipping certification. As-is means condition needs careful assessment; ask for a written report. Applicable consumer rights still apply.
