About Shipping Container Structure
Condition
Shipping containers are graded by condition. New containers have only been used once, while cargo-worthy used containers are usually less than 10 years old. Wind and watertight containers are structurally sound, even with a few dents which is not the case with as-is containers.
Corten Steel
Corten steel is a steel alloy designed for outdoor applications. Corten steel shipping containers are therefore designed to withstand the weather and elements without the need for painting.
Floor
Shipping containers of all sizes have marine-grade flooring that can withstand almost 10 tons of payload. This sturdy flooring is treated to withstand many different contaminants that could spill during shipping.
Doors
Shipping containers typically come with two doors on one end that open to the outside. These doors are sealed with a 2-stage EPDM rubber to withstand temperatures from -100 °C to +300 °C.
Handling
The containers have many features that make them easier to handle and move. In addition to having lifting points at each top corner, they also have forklift pockets for easy loading and unloading.
Security
Each container must meet international safety standards and is designed to protect valuable cargo between ports. Shipping containers have locking bar handles, door seals, and weatherproof vents.

FAQ About Our 20 ft Shipping Containers for Sale
What are the differences between a 20 ft standard and a 20 ft high cube shipping container?
The main difference between a 20-foot high cube shipping container and a standard 20-foot shipping container is the height. The 20-foot high cube shipping container offers 1 extra foot in height. Because it is taller, its doors are also 1 foot higher and its cargo capacity is greater.
How many square feet is a standard 20 ft shipping container?
A 20-ft shipping container is 146 sq. ft. As a general rule, you can fit the belongings from a one to two-bedroom household in this sized container. It can also hold about 60 refrigerators, to give you a better idea of how many items fit into this container.
How much is a 20 ft shipping container?
The price of a 20-foot shipping container can vary considerably depending on the condition, modifications made (or to be made) and inventory levels. At Conterm, we have a large selection of 20 ft shipping containers for sale and can help you find the right one for your needs and budget. Contact us for a quote.
How much space do you need for a 20′ shipping container delivery?
For delivery of a 20-ft shipping container, we need about 70 feet in a straight line on fairly level ground. The space needs to be accessible for a semi-truck to get in and out of. We can help assess the site to see if it will work or help you find an accessible site.
