20ft Standard Container

The 20ft is the size most people end up with, and for good reason. It fits a standard driveway or residential lot, holds roughly what a two-car garage holds, and can be placed in spots a 40ft simply cannot reach.

For a renovation, seasonal equipment, or a business that has outgrown its back room, the 20ft is usually the right call. It needs about 70 feet of straight clearance at the drop point.

How Georgia Customers Use It

  • ✓ Renovations in Atlanta's intown neighborhoods, where lots in Grant Park, Kirkwood, Ormewood Park and the Old Fourth Ward are small and there is rarely a garage to empty into.
  • ✓ Contractor tool and material storage on job sites across Fulton, Cobb, Gwinnett, DeKalb and Chatham counties, replacing the daily load in and load out.
  • ✓ Farm, timber and hunting tract storage across Middle and South Georgia, where the container is often the only lockable building on the parcel.
  • ✓ Restaurant, retail and event overflow behind buildings in Savannah, Athens and Macon where the back of house ran out of room.
  • ✓ Sites that will never take a 40ft: two 20ft boxes place on constrained lots and give you two doors and two locations.
  • ✓ Coastal properties on Wilmington, Whitemarsh, Skidaway and Tybee, where steel and a good lock handle salt air better than a wood shed.

40ft standard shipping container
Double the Space

40ft Standard Container

Twice the storage of a 20ft in the same width. The 40ft standard is the working size for contractors, farms and businesses: large equipment, multiple pallets, or everything that will not fit anywhere else.

The trade is access. A 40ft needs about 100 feet of straight clearance for the tilt-bed to set it down. On a constrained lot, two 20ft units often place where one 40ft will not.

How Georgia Customers Use It

  • ✓ Warehouse and dock overflow for metro Atlanta distribution operations that need seasonal room without committing to square footage it will not need year round.
  • ✓ Port and drayage overflow around Garden City Terminal, Pooler, Garden City and Port Wentworth, where owned ground storage beats per diem on a steamship line's box.
  • ✓ Manufacturing and supplier storage at the plant fence line, from the Kia corridor at West Point to the Bryan County supplier park east of Savannah.
  • ✓ Equipment and implement storage on row crop operations around Tifton, Moultrie, Sylvester and Bainbridge, where there is room to work and a straight pull off the county road.
  • ✓ Film and television production storage for set dressing, grip and wardrobe that travels with the production rather than sitting in rented warehouse space.
  • ✓ Pecan, peach and Vidalia onion operations that need seasonal storage which locks.

40ft High Cube Container

Same footprint as the standard 40ft, one foot taller: 9 ft 6 in outside, just over 9 ft of usable height inside. That foot changes what the box can be. You can stand fully upright, run services overhead, and fit equipment a standard container will not take.

It is the usual starting point for conversions: offices, bunkhouses, break rooms and workshops. Clearance requirement is the same as any 40ft, about 100 feet.

How Georgia Customers Use It

  • ✓ Pallet racking for supplier yards in the Chattahoochee Valley around Columbus, LaGrange and West Point, which order high cubes more often than anywhere else in Georgia.
  • ✓ Any build you intend to insulate and finish, because closed cell foam on the walls and ceiling takes headroom you cannot get back in a standard 40ft.
  • ✓ Flooring plants and sample houses around Dalton and Calhoun storing rolls, samples and returned freight upright.
  • ✓ Poultry operations across Hall, Habersham, Franklin and Jackson counties keeping feed, bedding and equipment dry between houses.
  • ✓ Kaolin, granite and quarry operations around Sandersville, Gordon, Elberton and Jasper storing parts and tooling close to the pit.

Modified Containers

A modified container starts as a standard steel box and gains the parts you need: doors, windows, insulation, electrical, climate control. What comes out is a weatherproof structure that costs less than building one and can be set almost anywhere.

Which modifications matter depends on where it will sit. Insulation and ventilation are decided by climate, not preference, so tell us the site and the intended use before the specification is fixed.

How Georgia Customers Use It

  • ✓ Job site offices for general contractors working metro Atlanta and the coastal counties, the two fastest growing housing markets in the Southeast.
  • ✓ Secure tool and parts rooms for the contractor base around Robins Air Force Base in Houston County and Fort Stewart in Liberty County.
  • ✓ Workshops and studios on north Georgia mountain property, where two 20ft units often place where a 40ft never will.
  • ✓ Break rooms and dry storage at kaolin, granite and timber operations that run crews well away from any building.
  • ✓ Hunting camp buildings on Middle and South Georgia tracts that have no structure on them at all.

Refrigerated

Refrigerated (Reefer) Containers

A reefer is a shipping container with a refrigeration unit built into one end, holding anywhere from -25 degrees F to +70 degrees F. The insulation is part of the original build, not added afterwards, which is why it holds temperature the way a retrofitted box cannot.

Available in 20ft and 40ft. It needs a 460V 3-phase connection, or a compatible generator where 3-phase power is not on site. Confirm your power supply before ordering, because that is the constraint that catches people out.

How Georgia Customers Use It

  • ✓ Vidalia onion growers and packers in Toombs and Tattnall counties needing cold ground storage through a short, fixed season.
  • ✓ Peach and pecan operations around Fort Valley, Byron, Perry and Albany holding product between picking and packing.
  • ✓ Caterers, event operators and film production crews who need cold storage delivered to a site that has none.
  • ✓ Restaurants and grocers in Atlanta, Savannah and Athens adding walk in capacity in the lot rather than rebuilding the back of house.
  • ✓ Row crop and specialty growers across South Georgia who need reliable cold on the farm rather than a round trip to town.

Before You Order

Site Preparation and Delivery Clearance

Containers arrive on a tilt-bed truck. Knowing your clearance before the truck is booked is what keeps a delivery from turning into a second trip.

Required Straight Clearance

20ft
about 70 feet straight clearance
Measured from the drop point in a straight line
40ft
about 100 feet straight clearance
Standard and high cube both

Also check: 10 to 12 ft of width, anything overhead (trees, power lines, roof overhangs), and the road surface. Gravel and dirt are fine. Flag steep grades and soft ground, because those are what actually stop a truck.
