New 20-Foot Shipping Container – Sturdy, Reliable, and Built to Last
A new 20-foot shipping container is a versatile solution for businesses looking for secure and long-term storage. Its compact yet spacious design makes it perfect for international transport, on-site storage, and flexible logistics operations.

Constructed from high-quality Corten steel, this container offers excellent weather protection, strength, and security. With ISO and CSC certification, it complies with global standards for safe shipping. Thanks to its convenient size, it provides sufficient room for tools, machinery, furniture, and building materials.

Whether for permanent dry storage, logistics on construction sites, or integration into a global supply chain, a new 20-foot container ensures reliable performance and longevity.

What does “new container” mean?
A “new” shipping container is a so-called one-trip container – it has only been used once for transport from the factory to its first destination. This ensures minimal wear and tear, perfect condition, and the highest standards of durability and longevity compared to used containers.

When buying a container online, you can choose to have your container delivered with or without a crane.

With Crane

Your container will be delivered on a truck-mounted crane, allowing the driver to lift and position the container without additional offloading equipment.

To facilitate a truck-mounted crane delivery, you will need:

  • Length Clearance: 18.75m (61.5ft)
  • Height Clearance: 4m (13ft)
  • Width Clearance: 3.65m (12ft)

 

Without Crane (Standard Chassis)

If you select delivery without a crane, your container will be delivered on a flat chassis with no built-in offloading equipment. You will therefore be responsible for offloading the container yourself using the appropriate heavy-duty equipment.

To facilitate a delivery without a crane, you will also need:

  • Length Clearance: 18.75m (61.5ft)
  • Height Clearance: 4m (13ft)
  • Width Clearance: 3.65m (12ft)

 

To learn more about these delivery methods, consult our shipping container delivery guide.

For products 40ft or longer:

When buying a container online, you can choose to have your container delivered by side-loader or standard chassis.

With a Side-Loader

Your container will be delivered on a specialized truck called a side-loader (sometimes also known as a side-lifter). This vehicle has hydraulic arms that lift the container off the trailer and set it down beside the truck.

To facilitate a side-loader delivery, you will need:

  • Length Clearance: 18.75m (61.5ft)
  • Height Clearance: 4m (13ft)
  • Width Clearance: 3.65m (12ft)

 

Standard Chassis

If you select delivery by standard chassis, you will be responsible for lifting and placing your shipping container on the ground with the appropriate heavy-duty equipment.

To facilitate delivery on a standard chassis, you will also need:

  • Length Clearance: 18.75m (61.5ft)
  • Height Clearance: 4m (13ft)
  • Width Clearance: 3.65m (12ft)
