The most popular container size in Missouri. 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 Missouri 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 Missouri weather brings, including severe convective storms, meaning straight line wind, large hail and tornadoes and Winter ice storms, which are the more damaging half of a Missouri winter and are the reason a shaded north facing drive can hold ice after the rest of the county has thawed, River and flash flooding along the Missouri and the Mississippi and their tributaries, which is why a low corner of a bottom ground property is worth naming before a container is set on it, Freeze and thaw cycling, which works clay under a set of blocks over a single winter and is the most common reason a container that was level in November is not level in March, High summer dew points, which are the same Gulf moisture that makes this good farm country and makes a steel box sweat on the inside, Earthquake ground shaking in the southeast quarter of the state, which is a genuine Missouri design question rather than an afterthought. Under RSMo 319.200 the state geologist and the United States Geological Survey identify the jurisdictions expected to see the strongest New Madrid shaking, and those jurisdictions are required to adopt seismic standards, Drying and cracking of bottom ground clay in late summer, which opens fissures wide enough to matter under a point load.

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.
Rehab and renovation storage on the brick two families and bungalows of south St. Louis, Old North and the near north side, and on the pre-war lots of Hyde Park, Volker, Brookside and the Historic Northeast in Kansas City, where the lots are narrow and there is often no garage at all.
Contractor tool and material storage on job sites across Jackson, Clay, Platte, St. Louis, St. Charles, Greene and Christian counties, replacing the daily load in and load out and taking the tool trailer out of the equation.
Farm, hay and cattle storage across north Missouri, Little Dixie and the Ozark border counties, keeping feed, mineral, fencing, seed, chemical and small implements dry and locked at the field rather than back at the house.
Ozark hillside sites that will never take a 40ft: on benched pads and switchback drives around Branson, Kimberling City and the Table Rock shoreline, two 20ft boxes place where one long box cannot, and give you two doors in two locations.
Residential placements in Kansas City, where a 20ft standard height box lines up most cleanly with the size and height figures in the city's adopted code, which is worth knowing before you order.
Lake and cabin property at the Lake of the Ozarks, Table Rock, Stockton and Bull Shoals, holding boat gear, mowers, lifejackets, furniture and tools between visits on a lot with no garage and a long drive home.
