Enough room for the big jobs, compact enough to fit on site
A 20ft container holds roughly 33 cubic metres (about a 3-bedroom house worth of storage) yet still drops neatly onto a standard truck and most sites. It’s our most popular size for good reason.
Whether you need secure storage that lasts decades, or a blank canvas for a modified office or sleepout, the 20ft is where most of our customers start.
