Why 20 foot Shipping Containers Are So Versatile

Reasons why should you consider 20 foot containers for your needs

• Readily available:
  Shipping containers used for carrying cargo are almost exclusively 20ft or 40ft long, therefore the 20ft is one of the sizes most often manufactured, upcycled and sold. 20ft containers are therefore plentiful, whether new or used, and don't need to be cut to length, saving time and money on extra labour costs and steel work.
  
  


• Easy to transport:
  Due to its industry standard length, 20fts are easy to transport on trucks, trains and ships, and lift on HIABs, as they are specifcally designed to ISO requirements. So they'll be not nasty surprises to pay for your container delivery or any other future transportation you may require.
  
  


• Space efficiency:
  While not the largest available, the 20ft provides ample space for personal storage and popular conversions such as portable offices, food kiosks and workshops. They provide a great compromise between size and convenience.

• Scalability:
Being so plentiful and easy to adapt, 20ft containers are a great choice if you need to expand later. For example unmodified containers retain their corner castings, meaning they are stackable. Or they be joined up to create extra width by removing the inside walls and welding. Or they can be modifed in response to your changing needs - with features such as side doors, ply lining, electrics and much more.
