The most popular container size in Alabama. It fits most residential driveways, holds about as much as a two-car garage, and arrives at your address with delivery already in the price.
The 20ft standard container, sometimes called a TEU (Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit) or a conex box, is the global standard in intermodal shipping. It is the most widely available container size and the most practical choice for most Alabama residential and small-business customers.
At 20 feet long and 8 feet wide it fits comfortably in a standard driveway and can be placed on most lots without special equipment or extensive site preparation. The steel handles what Alabama weather brings, including severe thunderstorms and tornadoes and Tropical systems and their inland remnants, which reach Mobile and Baldwin counties directly and carry rain and wind well up the state behind them, Straight line wind and hail out of spring and summer thunderstorm complexes, common in every county, Flash flooding, in the Birmingham valley where paved ground and clay shed water fast, and along the coastal plain rivers and the Mobile-Tensaw Delta, Winter ice on north facing grades in the Appalachian counties, where a shaded slope can hold ice after the rest of the county has thawed, Salt air on the coast, which is a corrosion question rather than a storm question, and is answered with paint touch up rather than anchoring.

The interior stays dry, the doors seal tight, and the floor is structurally solid. For a full breakdown of every grade we sell, see our container condition guide.
Best for: General storage, construction sites, farm use, any application where appearance matters less than value.
Warranty: 5 year.
It made a single ocean crossing from the factory and is essentially brand new. Minimal cosmetic marks from that one voyage, clean and dry interior, excellent floor condition, like-new paint. It costs more than used WWT, and it is the cleanest container you can buy short of a factory-new unit.
Best for: Conversions, food-adjacent storage, sensitive storage, anyone who wants the best-looking unit.
Warranty: 10 year structural and no-leak.

Residential placements in Huntsville, where the city's portable storage structure allowance is one hundred sixty square feet and a 20ft container fits it exactly while a 40ft does not.
Farm, timber and hunting tract storage across the Black Belt and the Wiregrass, where the container is often the only lockable building on the parcel.
Poultry operations on Sand Mountain and in Cullman County, set at the end of a chicken house lane to keep feed, bedding and equipment dry between houses.
