Choosing between a 20ft or 40ft storage container is easier than it seems. Start by considering how many boxes, bags, furniture items, or business goods you need to store — and whether they can be stacked. Our containers are tall enough for safe stacking, which means you can fit more than expected, even in a standard 20ft unit.
To help you visualise the space, we compare each container to everyday storage sizes and typical uses for both home and business customers.
A 20ft container is our most popular storage unit, ideal for both personal and business use. It comfortably stores the contents of a 2–3 bedroom house, business stock, tools, equipment, bikes, and more.
