About 8ft Shipping Containers
With a compact footprint of ~58ft², our 8ft new-build steel containers offer an impressive load capacity of 205 lbs/ft² (1000 kg/m²) anywhere space is limited.
Steel walls 1.5mm thick keep your stored goods secure and stop unwanted visitors—on two or four legs—from getting in, while ventilation openings promote air circulation and keep moisture out.
The 8ft small container provides an extra 15ft² of storage capacity versus our smallest model while remaining ideal for tighter placements on residential properties or downtown construction sites.
CHS Container Group USA’s 8ft shipping containers are sold in new (one-trip) condition.
