About 20ft Used Shipping Containers
Small footprint, big possibilities. With an interior space of 150 sq. ft. and a maximum permissible load of 60,000 lbs, 20ft used containers still do plenty of heavy lifting. And as the cheapest used shipping containers available to purchase, it’s easy to see why they’re the most popular choice for both domestic storage and international shipping.
Businesses use them to store tools, materials, and surplus stock. Homeowners love them for storing car parts, gardening gear, and other outdoor essentials on a budget.
CHS Container Group’s 20ft used containers are sold in cargo-worthy condition. Though they’re still able to be stacked, we advise against using them for building projects (try a 20ft new container instead).
Order online today and have a 20ft used conex at your business (or in your backyard) within 5-7 days.

Prepare for a Shipping Container Delivery
- Ensure you have enough space:
- 12ft Width clearance
- 16ft Height clearance- no wires or trees above
- Straight line space needed:
• 75ft – for 1 x 20ft container
• 120ft – for 1 x 40ft container or 2 x 20ft (moved together)
- Check the weather conditions
Weather conditions such as rain or snow can impact delivery. Ensure that the path and container location are dry and firm. - Solid, level ground
Containers need to be delivered on solid, level ground to ensure the doors will open and close properly. - Flat delivery site
It is important that the path leading to the delivery site is a level, flat surface as hills and slopes may cause the tilt body truck to get stuck.

What is the delivery process?
After we receive payment for your container and confirm a delivery date, the truck driver will contact the person listed on your order once the container has been loaded. This call will serve as a notice that the driver is on the way to your location.
Delivery costs vary based on the distance between your location and our storage yard. For an exact quote, please contact our office and we’ll be happy to provide pricing.
How much space is required for delivery?
Delivering a container requires enough space for the tilt-bed roll-off truck to safely position and unload it. The driver tilts the truck bed, allowing the container to slide slowly onto the ground before the truck pulls away.
-
20ft container: Approximately 75ft of straight-line clearance is recommended to accommodate the truck and unloading process.
-
40ft container: Plan for about 110ft of straight-line clearance to ensure the truck and trailer have enough room.
To ensure a smooth delivery, the area should be level, free of obstacles, and easily accessible for the truck to maneuver. Proper planning helps prevent delays and ensures the container can be placed exactly where you need it.
What kind of site preparation is needed?
Can the storage container be placed on railroad ties/landscape timbers?
Yes, railroad ties/landscape timber can be placed under the container to lift it up. The truck driver can help you at time of delivery. Please note, we do not provide the railroad ties/landscape timbers.
Do I need a permit to place a container on my property?
How long does delivery take after ordering a container?
Container deliveries are typically Monday thru Friday. But we do work with some trucking companies who will deliver on the weekend for an extra fee. An authorized representative must be there for delivery.
