§ 01 Decision: Size ISO 668 Standards
Right Size =
Perfect Fit.
Size is the first decision—get it wrong and your equipment won't fit or you'll pay for space you don't need. A 20-foot container fits one tractor. A 40-foot holds farm equipment, workshop tools, or business inventory.
The Three Standard Sizes
Shipping containers were built for international cargo, so dimensions are standardized worldwide. A "20-foot container" is the same size whether it comes from our yard or anywhere else.
