Choose your footprint.

Compare typical dimensions before selecting the container that will support your project.

Container	Typical exterior dimensions	Common starting point
10′ standard	10′ × 8′ × 8′ 6″	Compact storage
20′ standard	20′ × 8′ × 8′ 6″	Storage & workshop planning
40′ standard	40′ × 8′ × 8′ 6″	Larger storage & equipment
40′ high cube	40′ × 8′ × 9′ 6″	Build-outs & added headroom
53′ container	53′ nominal length; width & height confirmed by unit	Larger inventory & specialty layouts

Nominal exterior dimensions for typical units. Internal clearances are smaller and vary by manufacturer, condition, and modifications. Confirm the exact unit before designing foundations, interiors, or equipment layouts.

Standard vs. high cube

A typical standard unit is 8′ 6″ tall outside. A typical high cube is 9′ 6″ tall outside. That extra foot can help with insulation, ceilings, and equipment clearances.

Think beyond floor area

Plan door openings, turning space, shelving, insulation thickness, ceiling finishes, and equipment access. Usable space is always more specific than exterior measurements.
