Shipping Container Dimensions

Container Dimensions

Are you wondering the container dimensions of our shipping container? Well, shipping containers are most commonly built in 20’ and 40’ lengths. The reasoning for this is because these sizes are the most economical on the ships bringing these containers overseas. However, units are available in lengths from 10’ up to 45’ in length. If you are looking to buy shipping containers and the standard lengths do not suit your needs, we’d be happy to source equipment best suited to your needs.

We also have an extensive library of service part manuals and technical drawings for many types of containers. Please contact us and we’ll do our best to get you the information you need.

**Please note: weights and measurements differ slightly from manufacture to manufacture.
