What fits in a 20ft container

Inside there is a ~5.90 × 2.35 m floor and 2.39 m of height. The door opening is 2.34 m wide — enough for a pallet truck or large furniture.

~11 EUR pallets in one layer
A passenger car — 5.90 m internal length
Furniture and belongings during a move or renovation
Garden machinery, tyres and bikes
Tools and building materials

The internal height lets you put shelving up to the ceiling. If you need more height, choose a High Cube — it is 30 cm taller.

20ft or 40ft container?

Both have the same width and height — the difference is length, price and how much space delivery needs.

Choose 20ft if Most popular

  • ~33 m³ of space is enough
  • yard space or access is limited
  • a lower total price matters
  • you need it at a house or summer cottage

Choose 40ft if

  • you store pallets, machinery or business goods
  • you need ~67 m³ — twice the space
  • a lower price per cubic metre matters
  • the site has wide, firm access

Compare with the 40ft container or see the full size table.

New or used 20ft container?

One-way (new) For conversions

  • has made only one cargo trip
  • no rust, straight walls and tight-closing doors
  • the best choice for insulating and converting
  • keeps its value if you sell it later

Used Cheaper

  • the cheapest way to get a dry, lockable space
  • may have scratches, rust spots and dents
  • inspected — suitable for storage
  • you can view it in Riga before buying

See new or used shipping containers. If you choose a used one, read how to choose a used container.

Where and how to place a 20ft container

  1. SpaceThe container takes ~6.06 × 2.44 m. Leave room in front for the doors — each leaf is ~1.2 m wide.
  2. BaseFour supports under the corners, 5–10 cm above the ground. How to do it — shipping container foundation.
  3. AccessThe crane truck needs firm access and free space alongside. There must be no wires above the spot.
  4. Delivery priceFrom 200 € + VAT in Riga; further away it depends on distance. Calculate it on the delivery page.

What sets the price of a 20ft container

Two containers of the same size can cost different amounts. Three things set the price.

Condition

For a used container, rust, dents, the floor and the door seals affect the price most. A one-way container costs more because it is almost new.

What to checkPhotos of the inside, the floor and the door seals.
Height

A High Cube is 30 cm taller and gives ~4 m³ more space. It usually costs more than a standard container in the same condition.

What to checkDo you really need more than 2.39 m of height?
Appearance

Colour, old markings and cosmetic defects. If a defect does not affect dryness or locking, the container costs less — and the name says so.

What to checkWill the container stand in view of a house or office?

Prices of available containers, including VAT, are in the section above. To compare all sizes, see shipping container prices.

Labākie tirgū pieejamie jūras konteineri. Man sanāca pat rindā patāvēt, kamēr pie sava tiku. Nekādu problēmu ar savākšanu no ostas teritorijas, visu operatīvi sakārtoja.

Ļoti pozitīva sadarbības pieredze! Aptaujāju vairākus Google atrodamos konteineru piedāvātājus. kontiks.lv tiešām interesēja nevis vienkārši pārdot konteinerus, bet arī pārliecināties, ka esmu izvēlējies paredzētajam pielietojumam piemērotāko risinājumu. Patīkami pārsteidza, ka kontiks.lv tiešām sazinājās ar mani pēc pieteikuma formas aizpildīšanas mājas lapā. Piedāvājumā bija gan lietoti, gan jauni (one way) konteineri dažādos izmēros. Izrunājot detaļas, nonācu pie secinājuma, ka manam pielietojumam piemērotāki būs jaunie konteineri. Kontiks.lv laipni sniedza arī konsultāciju par pamatnes sagatavošanu konteineru novietošanai, kā arī par konkurētspējīgu cenu saorganizēja ātru konteineru piegādi. Noteikti izvēlēšos kontiks.lv, ja būs nepieciešams vēl kāds konteineru risinājums. Iesaku kontiks.lv, ja novērtējat profesionālu un laipnu sadarbību!

Paldies Ričardam par augstu apkalpošanas kultūru un perfekti izpildītu pasūtījumu! Tika piedāvāts un piegādāts tieši tāds konteiners, kāds bija nepieciešams, gan izmēra, gan kvalitātes ziņā. Piegāde tika veikta ātri un profesionāli. Iesaku "Kontiks"!
