What are the dimensions of a 20 ft container?
A 20 ft standard shipping container measures approximately 20′ L x 8′ W x 8’6″ H on the exterior. The interior dimensions are about 19’4″ L x 7’8″ W x 7’10” H, with a total storage capacity of roughly 1,165 cubic feet. The door opening is around 7’8″ W x 7’5″ H.
Can a 20 ft container fit in my driveway?
In most cases, yes. A 20 ft container needs about 60–70 feet of straight, level space for the truck to safely back in and unload, even though the container itself is only 20 feet long. Most standard residential driveways can accommodate this, but narrow roads, tight turns, low trees, or steep slopes may require reviewing the site before scheduling delivery.
Is the container weatherproof?
Yes. All new containers are wind and water tight, protecting your items from rain, snow, and humidity.
How is it delivered?
We deliver using tilt-bed trucks that gently slide the container off at your location. You’ll need a firm, level surface for safe delivery.
Do you offer other sizes?
Yes – we also carry 20 ft, 40 ft, and 40 ft High Cube containers in both New (One-Trip) and Used (Wind & Water Tight or Cargo Worthy) conditions.
How long does delivery take?
Most deliveries are completed within 7-10 business days after payment, depending on your location and depot availability.
How do I order a container?
After choosing your container size and delivery option, we’ll email you an invoice. Once payment is received, we’ll schedule delivery or provide pickup and release details, including the depot location and pickup number.
How do I make payment?
Payment can be made by ACH, Wire Transfer, Mailed Check, Overnight payment, Major Credit or Debit Card.
Do you offer financing?
Sorry we do not offer financing.
What is the delivery process?
Once we receive payment on your invoice to purchase a container and agree on a delivery date. The truck driver will call the contact you provided us once the container is loaded on the truck to advise he is on his way to your location.
How much does it cost to deliver a container?
Delivery depends on the distance of your location from where we store our containers. Call our office at 708 627-2725 and we will provide you with a delivery quote.
How much space is required for delivery?
Containers are typically delivered with a tilt-bed roll off truck. The driver tilts the bed up and the container slowly slides off onto the ground as the driver then pulls out from under the container. For a 20ft long storage container, you will need about 75ft of straight line clearance. For a 40ft long storage container, the truck and trailer will need about 110ft of straight line clearance.
What kind of site preparation is needed?
We will deliver on cement, pavement, asphalt, gravel, grass & dirt, provided the surface is not too soft. However, we strongly recommend that you choose a site that is as level as possible. If the storage container is not level, the container doors may be hard to open and close. The surface area where you place your container should also have adequate drainage to avoid sinking.
Can I arrange my own transport?
Yes, there is no fee to load the container on your delivery truck.
Can the storage container be placed on railroad ties/landscape timbers?
Yes, railroad ties/landscape timber can be placed under the container to lift it up. The truck driver can help you at time of delivery. Please note, we do not provide the railroad ties/landscape timbers.
Do I need a permit to place the container on my property?
Not typically. Because the unit is considered a temporary structure, most zoning regulations do not require a permit. Contact your local municipality to find out the specific requirements for your area.
Can you move or relocate my container?
Yes, in some locations we can move or relocate your container. Please give our office a call at 708 627-2725 to discuss further.
Can you deliver on the weekends?
Container deliveries are typically Monday thru Friday. But we do work with some trucking companies who will deliver on the weekend for an extra fee.
Do I have to be present for the delivery?
Yes, an authorized representative must be there for delivery.
How long will delivery take, once I order a container?
We strive to deliver storage containers to fit your needs. Generally, delivery can take place in 3 to 5 days business days from time of order.
What if container is not what I expected?
All used containers may have some exterior rust, dings, dents & maybe patches but nothing so significant that affects the structural aspect of the container. At Container Sales Group, we offer a water/wind tight guarantee at the time of delivery or pick-up. We ask our customers to thoroughly inspect the container at the time of delivery or pick-up to ensure it is water/wind tight.
