12 FT Containers
A mid-compact format that adds usable length over a 10 FT unit while staying well short of a standard 20 FT footprint.
About 12 FT containers
Twelve-foot containers suit sites where a 10 FT unit is slightly too small but a 20 FT unit will not fit or would dominate the space. The extra two feet is more useful than it sounds: it accommodates longer materials, an additional pallet position, or a small work area at the door end without losing storage.
These are converted lengths rather than standard ISO sizes, so specification varies by unit and is described on each product page.

Buying considerations
Before you order a 12 FT unit
- Confirm internal length on the product page if you are storing specific materials such as timber lengths or pipework.
- Check the door configuration, since converted units may not use original cargo doors.
- Measure your placement area with delivery access in mind, not just the container footprint.
- Consider whether a 20 FT unit would actually fit, as it often offers better value per square foot.
Questions
12 FT container FAQs
Why choose 12 FT over 10 FT?
Usually because of a specific length requirement. If you are storing material that is ten or eleven feet long, a 10 FT container will not take it and a 12 FT unit will.
Are 12 FT containers watertight?
They are re-ended and sealed during conversion, and the wind and watertight condition of each unit is described on the product page and checked before dispatch.
