Smaller Footprint

20ft Standard Container

The 20ft is the smaller of the two standard sizes. Inside, it measures about 19 ft 4 in long, 7 ft 9 in wide and 7 ft 10 in high, and it can be placed in spots a 40ft cannot reach.

It suits a renovation, seasonal equipment, or a business that has outgrown its back room. It needs 110 feet of straight clearance at the drop point.

Common Uses

✓ Boxed fixtures during a Charleston renovation, with the cargo doors facing the work area.
✓ Tools beside a Barboursville project without using its vehicle circulation lane.
✓ Clean packaging stored near the packing area at an Eastern Panhandle orchard.
✓ Replacement parts on a north central field site reached by a firm gravel approach.
✓ Seasonal recreation equipment around Fayetteville after checking the final driveway.
✓ Furniture during a Morgantown property renovation, with enough room to unload each item.

Double the Space

40ft Standard Container

Twice the storage of a 20ft in the same width. The 40ft standard suits contractors, farms and businesses with large equipment or many pallets.

The trade is access. A 40ft needs 130 feet of straight clearance. On a constrained lot, two 20ft units may fit where one 40ft will not.

Common Uses

✓ Maintenance inventory near South Charleston manufacturing, arranged with an aisle to the back.
✓ Long materials for a contractor near I-64, with the doors clear of passing equipment.
✓ Sawmill tooling and packaging on a drained landing beside an existing work area.
✓ Farm equipment in Hardy or Grant County after checking the creek bridge on the approach.
✓ Business stock near Fairmont or Clarksburg with shelves grouped by frequency of use.
✓ Recreation supplies stored on a southern property with 130 feet of straight, unobstructed space for the truck to slide the 40ft container off its bed.

40ft high cube one-trip container with the doors open

Most Space

40ft High Cube Container

Same footprint as the standard 40ft, one foot taller: 9 ft 6 in outside and about 8 ft 10 in inside. That foot can help with tall equipment and overhead services, while insulation and a finished floor reduce the available headroom.

The extra foot suits conversions such as offices, bunkhouses, break rooms and workshops. It needs the same clearance as any 40ft: 130 feet of straight run.

Common Uses

✓ Taller shelving for parts at a Bridgeport work yard with a clear overhead approach.
✓ Stacked clean packaging for an Eastern Panhandle grower, with safe access to upper shelves.
✓ Equipment cases for New River Gorge recreation operators, organized by season.
✓ Racked maintenance supplies near Nitro, with floor access left between storage rows.
✓ A proposed Morgantown workspace where the design accounts for insulation thickness.
✓ Bulky tools stored near Wheeling after measuring the full unloading clearance.

Modified shipping container converted into a finished workspace

Custom

Modified Containers

A modified container starts as a standard steel box and gains the parts you need: doors, windows, insulation, electrical, climate control. The result is a weatherproof structure that can be placed wherever the delivery truck can reach.

Which modifications matter depends on where it will sit. Insulation and ventilation are decided by climate, not preference, so tell us the site and the intended use before the specification is fixed.

Common Uses

✓ A jobsite office near Charleston with a separate tool room.
✓ A north central field workspace for natural gas service equipment.
✓ A farm workroom in the Potomac Highlands with service connections planned before delivery.
✓ An equipment room for a southern recreation property reached by a driveway you have checked.
✓ A renovation workspace in Huntington with the intended occupancy described to the city.
✓ A sheltered sorting room for clean supplies near a hardwood operation.

Refrigerated

Refrigerated (Reefer) Containers

A reefer is a shipping container with a refrigeration unit built into one end. The insulation is part of the original build, not added afterwards.

Available in 20ft and 40ft. It needs a 480V 3-phase connection, or a compatible generator where 3-phase power is not on site. Confirm your power supply before ordering.

Common Uses

✓ Temperature-controlled produce storage for an Eastern Panhandle orchard.
✓ Temperature-controlled storage for poultry products at an operation in Hardy, Grant or Pendleton County.
✓ Food supplies for a recreation business near the New River Gorge.
✓ Food inventory near Huntington with a loading area kept clear for daily use.
✓ A seasonal food operation in the Potomac Highlands with suitable power at the landing.
✓ Separate temperature-controlled stock near Charleston after reviewing the required electrical service.
