The most popular container size in New York. 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 New York 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 New York weather brings, including lake effect snow and deep winter frost and Deep frost north of the Mohawk from December into March, which heaves the ground on the way out and can set a container rocking on a corner that was level in November, Thaw season weight postings, when towns put limits on their own roads and a loaded truck waits for the road rather than for the weather, Repeated freeze and thaw cycling through the snowbelt winters, which works at any seam that is already holding water, Summer humidity in the Hudson Valley and on Long Island, where an assembly has to dry in both directions across the year rather than mostly outward, Remnants of tropical systems that reach New York as rain rather than as wind, which matters most on the low flats along the Hudson, the Mohawk, the Susquehanna and the Delaware, where the water comes up first.

Inspected and certified to keep wind and water out. It shows the cosmetic wear you would expect from a container that spent years in commercial shipping service: surface rust, paint chips, minor dents. 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.
Renovations on the older city blocks in Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse, where the lot is narrow, the drive runs between two houses and there is no garage to empty into.
Contractor tool and material storage on job sites across Erie, Monroe, Onondaga and Saratoga counties, replacing the daily load in and load out through a short building season.
Farm, orchard and woodlot storage across the Southern Tier, the North Country and the fruit belt, where the container is often the only lockable building on the parcel.
Restaurant, retail and event overflow behind buildings in Albany, Ithaca and Saratoga Springs where the back of house ran out of room.
Sites that will never take a 40ft: two 20ft boxes place on a tight village lot or a switchbacked lakeside drive and give you two doors and two locations.
Camp and seasonal property in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Thousand Islands, where a steel box holds through a winter that no shed survives well.
