New and used 20ft (6 metre) containers sourced directly from manufacturers. Standard, high cube, double door, and open side configurations with delivery to all 50 states.
The 20ft shipping container remains the backbone of global intermodal freight. Originally designed to move goods between ships, rail cars, and trucks without unpacking, these steel boxes have become equally valued as permanent storage solutions, workshop shells, and building modules. At Container Coast, we maintain a rotating inventory of 20 ft shipping containers for sale in every condition grade — from factory-fresh one-trip units to budget-friendly wind and watertight boxes ready for a second life on your property.
Every container we sell is sourced directly from manufacturers or vetted international shipping lines. That direct supply chain keeps prices competitive and quality consistent. Before a unit leaves our yard, it undergoes a thorough inspection covering structural integrity, door operation, floor condition, and weatherproofing. We grade each container honestly: one-trip means near-perfect cosmetics and a fresh CSC plate, cargo worthy means structurally sound with cosmetic wear, and WWT (wind and watertight) means sealed against the elements at the lowest price point. You choose the grade that fits your project and budget.
Whether you need a secure, weatherproof storage unit for a construction site, a blank canvas for a container home build, or a simple lockable space on a rural property, the 20ft format delivers. It fits comfortably on a standard residential lot, rides on any tilt-bed truck, and stacks cleanly with ISO-standard corner castings. Configuration options include standard height, high cube (an extra foot of headroom), double door (access from both ends), and open side (full lateral access for oversized loads). This is also known internationally as a 6 metre container — a term widely used by buyers outside the United States.
If you have been searching for 6 metre shipping containers for sale, you are looking at the same product — the standard 20ft ISO container with an exact external length of 6.058 metres. Built to ISO 668 standards, every unit carries a valid CSC plate confirming it meets international structural and safety requirements. The corten steel construction resists corrosion without painting, while marine-grade plywood flooring handles heavy loads and forklift traffic. Whether you call it a 20-footer or a 6 metre box, Container Coast stocks them in all conditions and ships to every state.

Weatherproof, rodent-proof, and fitted with a heavy-duty lock box as standard. The 20ft container is the go-to secure storage solution for construction sites, farms, and residential backyards. Corten steel walls shrug off years of exposure without maintenance, and the single cargo door end keeps access simple and padlock-ready.
At roughly 160 square feet, a 20ft container fits comfortably on most residential lots without requiring special permits in many jurisdictions. The high cube variant gives you a 9’6” ceiling height — enough headroom for a woodworking shop, art studio, or home gym. Cut in windows, add insulation, and you have a durable outbuilding that lasts decades.
Modified with insulation, electrical wiring, HVAC, and interior finishing, a 20ft container becomes a fully functional portable office. Ideal for job sites, remote facilities, and temporary operations. The steel shell provides security after hours, and the entire unit can be relocated by truck when the project moves on.
A 20ft shipping container typically costs between $1,500 and $4,500 depending on condition. New one-trip containers are priced higher, while cargo worthy and wind & watertight units offer excellent value. Contact Container Coast for a quote including delivery to your location.
Yes. A 6 metre shipping container is the metric equivalent of a standard 20ft ISO container. The exact external length is 6.058 metres (19 feet 10.5 inches). Both terms refer to the same product.
A 20ft container offers 1,172 cubic feet (33.2 cubic metres) of internal space — roughly 160 square feet of floor area. This comfortably fits a single-car garage worth of goods, furniture from a 2-bedroom apartment, or approximately 10 standard pallets.
