FAQ’s
What fits in a 20ft container?
A 20ft shipping unit can hold the contents of a 2 bedroom flat – approximately 200 double mattresses or 7,344 gallons of water in the 150sq ft of storage space.
How much space do I need for a 20ft container delivery?
The minimum width requirement for a 20ft delivery is 15ft to access the site and approximately 24ft for offloading (plus the width of the unit). However this will be dependent on the reach required by the crane to successfully deliver a 20ft option. Our containers are offloaded to the side of the vehicle so make sure you calculate the amount of space required for delivery ahead of purchasing.
How much does a 20ft container weigh?
The empty weight of a 10ft container is 2.4 tons

Great service and great company - very helpful and quick service, no problems with delivery and siting the containers.
SJC provided the experience and knowledge to make the purchase and the siting of the container a breeze. Would recommend to first-time buyers - these are the company to speak to!
As usual the service has been very good. We have a slight problem as the left hand door is very difficult to open and close. Hopefully with use this will ease.
Excellent Customer Service, responded to my initial enquiry quickly and efficiently. Everything was done brilliantly from the beginning to the delivery of the container on the day.
