20ft or 40ft Shipping Container for Sale in Asheville: How to Choose
A 20ft container is usually the easier fit when access is tight. It weighs 4,914 lbs, is 8 feet wide, and has a standard exterior height of 8 feet 6 inches. It works well when the delivery path or final spot does not leave much room for a longer straight run.
A 40ft container gives more space and usually the better cost per square foot, but it weighs 8,159 lbs and needs more run-out space. A 40ft High Cube keeps the same footprint, weighs 8,747 lbs, and raises exterior height to 9 feet 6 inches. These container sizes follow ISO 668, ISO 1161 and ISO 1496.
