Shipping Container Sizes & Dimensions

As a leading supplier of shipping containers, we are often asked about dimensions and sizes, as well as storage capacities. Square feet, cubic metres & actual size of shipping containers are always mentioned and of interest to consumers.

Remember that there are different types of shipping containers, each designed and built to store or transport different types and sizes of cargo. It can therefore be difficult for the layperson to figure out what type and size they actually need.

But when it comes to the sizes and dimensions of shipping containers, you need to focus on the length and height, so let’s go over the different container sizes based on height and length to help you determine which shipping container is right for you.

The length of a shipping container is measured in feet, and the vast majority have the same width. But to be precise, our container sizes range from 6 feet (2.43 metres) to 20 feet (6.10 metres) in length.
As for the height of shipping containers, the two popular ones are the standard or general purpose containers and high-cube containers. The former has a height of 8 feet 6 inches or 2.59 metres, while the latter has a height of 9 feet 6 inches or 2.89 metres

High-cube shipping containers have an extra foot in height to expand storage space or to improve air circulation. Just like standard containers, high cubes are used to store and transport all kinds of dry goods. They are also useful for moving freight, especially those with a maximum height of 2.70 metres.

The more common container sizes are 10ft and 20ft – which are among the shipping container sizes we have for hire. They offer the perfect blend of size and versatility. The two others in our fleet are the mini containers (6ft and 8ft) which are ideal for small to medium storage requirements or in places with limited access or where space is at a premium.
