MEETING YOUR CONTAINER NEEDS

The containers in our extensive inventory come in various lengths and heights, with differing door configurations. As a result you're sure to discover the perfect shipping container. 

STANDARD CONTAINERS

Standing at 8'6" tall and available in 20ft and 40ft lengths, standard shipping containers are two of the most widely used types of containers in the world. This commonality is what leads them to be among the cheapest storage containers in Charleston.

EXTRA TALL CONTAINERS

High cube shipping containers can be a better choice if you'd like something taller, with a little more headroom. Measuring at 9’6” high, they are 1 foot taller than a conventional container but can still be stacked since they’re the same width and length. With a reasonable price difference, it’s certainly an option worth considering. 

DOOR CONFIGURATIONS

Although most shipping containers only have a door on one end, there are other options as well that may be more suited to your intended use.

• Double door shipping containers, sometimes referred to as tunnel containers, have doors at both ends which makes it easier to load cargo and gives the option to put a partition in the middle.

• Open side containers feature sturdy folding doors that span the entire length of the container, something that can be beneficial if you’re looking for club storage or to repurpose the container for a home or storefront.
