Frequently Asked Questions About 20ft Shipping Containers
What is a 20ft shipping container?
A 20ft shipping container is a standard-sized metal box used for transporting and storing goods. It measures approximately 20 feet in length, 8 feet in width, and 8.5 feet in height externally. Businesses utilise them for various purposes, including storage, workshops, and modifications.
What are the typical uses for a 20ft container?
Businesses commonly use 20ft containers for secure on-site storage of materials, tools, or inventory. They also serve as temporary offices, pop-up shops, workshops, or for shipping goods internationally. Their portability makes them ideal for construction sites and events.
Can I buy or hire a 20ft shipping container?
Yes, Acorn Containers offers both purchase and hire options for 20ft shipping containers. We provide flexible terms to suit both short-term projects and long-term storage or operational needs, allowing businesses to manage capital expenditure effectively.
What is the difference between new and used 20ft containers?
New (often referred to as 'one-trip') containers have typically made a single journey transporting cargo, presenting in excellent condition with minimal wear. Used containers have seen more service but remain structurally sound and watertight, offering a more budget-friendly option.
Are 20ft containers secure?
Standard 20ft shipping containers are constructed from robust steel and feature heavy-duty doors. For enhanced security, we can supply containers fitted with additional locking mechanisms, such as high-security lock boxes, providing significant protection against unauthorised access.
Are the dimensions provided exact?
The dimensions provided are standard specifications. Minor variations can occur between manufacturers. We recommend contacting us directly for the precise dimensions of a specific container you are interested in, ensuring it meets your exact requirements.
Are 20ft containers weatherproof?
Properly maintained shipping containers are designed to be wind and watertight, protecting the contents from the elements. We ensure all containers supplied are in a condition suitable for secure external storage.
How is a 20ft container delivered?
Delivery of a 20ft container typically involves a truck equipped with a crane (HIAB) or a tilt-bed trailer. The delivery location requires adequate clear space for the vehicle to manoeuvre and safely offload the container. We can advise on site access requirements.
Can 20ft containers be modified?
Absolutely. 20ft containers are highly adaptable. They can be modified with features such as windows, personnel doors, insulation, electrical installations, or ventilation to suit specific applications, such as workshops, offices, or retail units.
What is the load capacity of a 20ft container?
A standard 20ft container has a maximum payload capacity of approximately 28,300 kg (62,391 lb). However, the actual weight you can load may also depend on the transport method and any road weight restrictions.
How much space is required for delivery?
For delivery, you need sufficient space for the delivery vehicle (typically a rigid vehicle or articulated lorry) to access the site and offload the container. For HIAB delivery, a clear area adjacent to the desired container location is required for the crane operation. We can discuss site specifics during your enquiry.
What is the internal volume of a 20ft container?
A 20ft container offers an internal volume of approximately 33 cubic meters (1,165 cubic feet), providing substantial space for storing or transporting goods.
Can I stack 20ft containers?
Yes, shipping containers are designed to be stacked. The corner castings are reinforced to bear significant weight. The number of containers that can be safely stacked depends on various factors, including the container condition and foundation.
Are permits required for placing a 20ft container?
In many cases, placing a shipping container on private land does not require planning permission, particularly if it's for temporary storage. However, regulations vary by local authority and intended use. We recommend checking with your local council for specific requirements in Grimsby.
What is the typical lifespan of a 20ft container?
With proper maintenance, a shipping container can have a very long lifespan, often exceeding 20-30 years, even when used for storage. Their robust steel construction ensures long-term durability.
Do you offer delivery in Grimsby?

What payment options are available?
We offer various payment options. Our sales team will discuss payment terms and methods when you request a quote or place an order.
Are your containers suitable for international shipping?
Our containers meet international standards (ISO). 'One-trip' containers are typically suitable for international shipping. Used containers may require a CSC plate inspection and certification for export purposes. We can advise on CSC certification.
Do you offer container insurance?
While we do not provide container insurance directly, we strongly recommend that customers arrange appropriate insurance cover for their container and its contents, particularly during transit and while on site.
