20 ft Standard Storage Container – Steel Construction

This 20 ft standard storage container is manufactured from heavy-duty steel. The steel construction provides structural rigidity for stacking and transport. The container is designed to withstand the mechanical demands of shipping, including crane lifting, rail transport, and vessel stacking.

The weight specifications are as follows. The tare weight, or empty container weight, is 2,220 kg (4,890 lbs). The cargo capacity, or maximum load weight, is 30,480 kg (67,200 lbs). The maximum gross weight, which is the combined weight of the container and its contents, is 28,260 kg (62,310 lbs). These ratings are based on standard shipping industry classifications.

The internal volume measures 33.2 cubic meters. This volume accommodates palletized goods, bulk items, or loose cargo. The interior height is standard at 2.6 meters (8 ft 6 in). The interior width is approximately 2.35 meters (7 ft 8.5 in), which fits standard loading equipment such as pallet jacks and forklifts.

The container is rated for weather resistance under normal shipping and storage conditions. Door seals and structural joints are designed to prevent water ingress during transport and ground-level storage.
