Which size fits your requirement?

20 ft Standard

Shorter footprint

Consider this format when the available installation length is limited or a shorter enclosed storage unit meets your space requirement.

40 ft Standard

Longer floor space

Consider this format when you need greater internal length and volume without increasing the standard external height.

40 ft High Cube

Additional height

Consider this format when your equipment or storage layout needs more vertical clearance. Its published external height is 305 mm greater than the 40 ft Standard.
