FAQs

How big is a 20ft shipping container?

A standard 20ft container has an internal floor area of around 150 sq. ft (13.93m²) and a capacity of 1,160 cu. ft (32.85m³). This makes it large enough to store the contents of a typical three-bedroom house or a wide range of business stock. 

What is the difference between a standard 20ft container and a high cube container?

A 20ft high cube container offers the same footprint as a standard 20ft but with an extra foot of height, increasing capacity to 1,310 cu. ft (37.09m³). This makes high cube containers ideal for oversized items or conversion projects where more headroom is required.

How secure are 20ft containers?

Our 20ft containers are built from heavy-duty steel and come with lockable cargo doors. For additional protection, we recommend our patented Contain-A-Lock® padlock protector shroud, which prevents forced entry and gives maximum security.

Can I customise or convert a 20ft shipping container?

Yes. S Jones offers a wide range of container modifications, including personnel doors, windows, insulation, electrics, shelving, and full container conversions for offices, workshops, classrooms, and retail units.

Do you deliver 20ft containers across the UK?

Yes, we provide nationwide delivery using our trusted network of depots and hauliers. Whether you’re in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow, or anywhere else in Great Britain, we can arrange fast and reliable delivery direct to your site.

Should I buy or hire a 20ft container?

If you need long-term storage or a conversion project, buying is often more cost-effective. If you only need temporary storage, we also offer container hire options. Our team can advise on the most suitable solution for your needs.
