Description
20ft Standard Dry
The 20ft standard dry container is the most versatile unit in the fleet — compact enough for a residential driveway, tough enough for a decade of job-site storage. Whether you’re securing tools on a construction site, adding storage behind a warehouse, or shipping palletized freight overseas, the 20ft footprint hits the sweet spot between capacity and placement flexibility.
Every unit on this page ships direct from our regional depot network, graded honestly against our 12-point condition checklist so you know exactly what’s arriving — no surprises when the tilt-bed backs into your driveway. Choose New/One-Trip for a container that’s made a single loaded ocean voyage and looks it — minimal wear, full paint, tight seals — or Cargo Worthy (CW), a rigorously inspected used unit certified structurally sound and watertight at a lower price point.
Lock-box ready, forklift-liftable when empty, and stackable up to the rated limit — this box is built to be moved, modified, or planted for the long haul.

Condition Grading Matrix
| Grade | What It Means | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| One-Trip / New | Manufactured and used for a single loaded ocean voyage. Full original paint, no dents, no rust, floor and seals like-new. | Buyers wanting the closest thing to new, or planning a conversion where cosmetics matter. |
| Cargo Worthy (CW) | Used, multi-voyage unit that has passed structural and watertight inspection — certified fit to re-enter international cargo service. May show cosmetic surface rust, dents, or faded paint, but no structural compromise. | Budget-focused storage or shipping use where function outweighs cosmetics. |
