Standard Size

20ft Standard Container

The 20ft container is the smaller of the two standard sizes. It has an interior floor about 19 ft 4 in by 7 ft 9 in and 7 ft 10 in of height. Its delivery needs 110 feet of straight, unobstructed space, compared with 130 feet for a 40ft.

The 20ft suits renovation storage, seasonal ranch equipment, and small-business overflow.

Example Uses

✓ Houston homeowner renovation storage
✓ Houston and DFW residential driveway placement
✓ Texas ranch seasonal equipment storage
✓ Small business overflow inventory

Double the Space

40ft Standard Container

Twice the storage of a 20ft in the same footprint width. The 40ft standard suits large equipment, multiple pallets of inventory, and properties with a long, accessible driveway.

Note that a 40ft requires 130 feet of straight, unobstructed space, plus at least 15 feet of driving clearance and 22 feet of clear height along the unloading path. Urban properties with limited access may be better served by the 20ft.

Example Uses

✓ Texas contractor job-site storage
✓ Ranch & farm equipment across Central and West Texas
✓ Business inventory overflow in Houston metro
✓ Landscaping & irrigation equipment storage
✓ Large property archival or equipment storage

Most Space

40ft High Cube Container

High cubes suit conversion projects: container offices, ranch bunkhouses, worksite break rooms, and custom builds.

Example Uses

✓ Ranch cabin or bunkhouse conversion
✓ DFW and Houston construction site office
✓ Tall agricultural equipment (Panhandle, Central, South TX)

✓ Retail or pop-up structure for Texas events

Example Uses

✓ Job site office trailer: DFW and Houston construction
✓ Hunting cabin base: Hill Country and South Texas
✓ Ranch manager's office: rural Texas
✓ Lake house or rural retreat bunkhouse
✓ Texas retail or event pop-up

Refrigerated

Refrigerated (Reefer) Containers
