Comparison tool
Compare containers side by side
Select up to four products and read their published specifications together. Every figure shown comes from the product record. Where a specification is not published for a unit, the table says so rather than filling the gap with an estimate.
Reading the table
What each column actually tells you
Specifications are only useful if you know which ones change the decision. These are the five that matter most in practice.
External length
Determines the footprint you need on site and the length of truck required to deliver it. Always allow additional clear space in front of the doors.
Internal height
High cube units add roughly a foot of headroom. That single foot decides whether racking, stacked pallets or a standing workspace is practical.
Door configuration
Standard end doors, double doors, roller doors and open sides change how quickly you can load and where the unit has to be positioned.
Insulation and temperature
Refrigerated units include machinery and need power. Insulated units moderate temperature without machinery. The two are not interchangeable.
Condition grade
New one-trip, cargo-worthy used and refurbished units differ in appearance and price far more than they differ structurally.
Delivery footprint
A longer unit needs a longer, straighter approach. Confirm your access before you compare on price alone.
Honest data
Where a specification is missing
Container stock is sourced from different manufacturers and different production years, and not every unit arrives with a complete published specification. Where a figure is not confirmed for a particular unit, the comparison table shows a prompt to check the product specification rather than inventing a number.
If a dimension is critical to your project, contact us before ordering and we will confirm the measurement for the specific unit you are considering. It is a short conversation that prevents an expensive mistake.
- Published figures only, never estimated values

Common comparisons
Three decisions people make most often
20 ft or 40 ft?
A 20 ft unit holds roughly the contents of a three-bedroom house or around ten floor-standing pallets. A 40 ft unit roughly doubles that. The larger unit is usually cheaper per cubic foot, but it needs a longer, straighter delivery approach and a bigger footprint on site. If you are between the two, the deciding factor is almost always access rather than capacity.
Standard or high cube?
A high cube adds roughly one foot of internal height for a modest price difference. If you plan to rack, stack pallets, store anything tall, or spend time inside the unit, take the high cube. For low, dense storage the standard height is fine and slightly easier to site.
New one-trip, used or refurbished?
New one-trip units have travelled once and look it: clean paint, undamaged panels, tight doors. Used cargo-worthy units are structurally sound with cosmetic wear. Refurbished units sit between the two, having been repaired and repainted. For static storage where appearance does not matter, used or refurbished is the value choice. For customer-facing or workspace use, choose new.
Does condition affect the warranty position?
Warranty terms follow the individual product and any applicable manufacturer coverage rather than a blanket site-wide period. The warranty page explains what is covered, what is excluded and how a claim is assessed. Check the product record for the specific unit before ordering.
Do all containers ship on the same terms?
Yes. Delivery is a flat $450 nationwide with an estimated transit of 5 business days. Delivery terms do not vary by size or price.
