All SPAREBOX shipping containers are purpose built to be versatile, secure and portable. Our most popular shipping container size is the 20ft container. You get multi-purpose, affordable and convenient storage that can easily be transported to wherever you need it.
Originally used for shipping cargo goods around the world, 20ft steel boxes are still used for this purpose today. However, over the years 20ft containers have grown in popularity to be repurposed or modified and used for many more uses like site offices, retail spaces, pop up stores, temporary accommodation and clever custom storage spaces!
They retain the same characteristics which make them suitable for transporting cargo across rough open seas: our 20ft containers are super strong, durable, wind and watertight. In a standard size that is the ‘go-to’ for many of our customers, this mid-sized container is ideal across all conceivable uses, from transporting goods, as a storage unit, and as a base for conversions (fashioned into residential or commercial structures).
We will give you expert advice and a great price on a SPAREBOX 20ft container. Why not contact us to get a recommendation based on your needs?
