Specifications

20ft Container Dimensions & Details

The 20ft standard container, sometimes called a TEU (Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit) or a conex box, is the global standard in intermodal shipping.

At 20 feet long and 8 feet wide it fits in many driveways, as long as the delivery truck has the straight run and clearance it needs.

Condition Options

Used WWT or One-Trip: Which Is Right for You?

Used Wind & Water Tight (WWT)

Inspected and certified to keep wind and water out. It shows the cosmetic wear you would expect from a container that spent years in commercial shipping service: surface rust, paint chips, minor dents. The interior stays dry, the doors seal tight, and the floor is structurally solid. For a full breakdown of every grade we sell, see our container condition guide.

Best for: General storage, construction sites, farm use, any application where appearance matters less than value.

Warranty: 5 year structural and 5 year no-leak.

One-Trip (Like New)

It made a single ocean crossing from the factory and is essentially brand new. Minimal cosmetic marks from that one voyage, clean and dry interior, excellent floor condition, like-new paint. It costs more than used WWT and is the cleanest grade sold.

Best for: Conversions, food-adjacent storage, sensitive storage, anyone who wants the best-looking unit.

Warranty: 10 year structural and 10 year no-leak.

Use Cases

Ways to Use a 20ft Container in Missouri

Rehab and renovation storage on the brick two families and bungalows of south St. Louis, Old North and the near north side, and on the pre-war lots of Hyde Park, Volker, Brookside and the Historic Northeast in Kansas City, where a lot can be narrow with no garage at all.

Contractor tool and material storage on job sites across Jackson, Clay, Platte, St. Louis, St. Charles, Greene and Christian counties, replacing the daily load in and load out and taking the tool trailer out of the equation.

Farm, hay and cattle storage across north Missouri, Little Dixie and the Ozark border counties, keeping feed, mineral, fencing, seed, chemical and small implements dry and locked at the field rather than back at the house.

Ozark hillside sites that cannot take a 40ft: on benched pads and switchback drives around Branson, Kimberling City and the Table Rock shoreline, two 20ft boxes place where one long box cannot, and give you two doors in two locations.

Residential placements in Kansas City, where a 20ft standard height box stays within the size and height figures in the city's adopted code.

Lake and cabin property at the Lake of the Ozarks, Table Rock, Stockton and Bull Shoals, holding boat gear, mowers, lifejackets, furniture and tools between visits on a lot with no garage and a long drive home.

Delivery Info

20ft Container Delivery in Missouri

What You Need for Delivery

  • Clear approach: 110 feet of clear, firm surface for the truck to position and tilt.
  • Overhead clearance: At least 15 feet of height for the truck to drive in and 22 feet of height along the entire unloading path, with no low branches, power lines, or carport roofs in the delivery path.
  • Firm ground: Grass, gravel, dirt, or concrete all work. Soft or waterlogged ground may need gravel prep.
  • Final placement spot: Know where you want it before the driver arrives. Repositioning on site is possible, but it is easier to plan ahead.

FAQ

20ft Container Questions

The container arrives on a tilt bed truck, which needs 110 feet of straight, level run measured back from where the container will sit, at least 15 feet of height for the truck to drive in and 22 feet of height along the entire unloading path, with no low branches, utility lines or carport roofs in the path, and at least 10 feet of width. Describe your approach and your drop spot when you ask for a quote, so the site can be reviewed before anything is scheduled.
Wind and Water Tight units start at $2,332 delivered in St. Louis. What you pay depends on the grade you choose, on what is in stock when you order and on the access at your site. Container One sets prices, and they change without notice; your written quote gives the price for your order, including delivery to your address. Prices as of 2026-08-06.
Warranty runs by grade: one-trip units carry a 10 year structural and 10 year no-leak warranty, cargo worthy and wind and water tight units carry a 5 year structural and 5 year no-leak warranty, and economy units carry a 1 year roof leak warranty.
Set the container on solid bearing at the four corner castings rather than straight onto turf. Pressure treated timbers, concrete blocks or a compacted rock pad under each corner keeps the box level, keeps the doors square and keeps the wood floor out of standing water. Grade so surface water runs away from the corners rather than under them. On new subdivision fill in the Northland or St. Charles County, a few sheets of plywood along the wheel path keeps a loaded truck from rutting the yard on a wet week.
