Shipping Container FAQ

Quick answers to common questions customers ask before buying or renting a shipping container.

What sizes are most common?

20-foot and 40-foot units are common, with standard and high-cube configurations. Availability varies by market.

How much room do I need for delivery?

As a planning guideline, many 20-foot-or-smaller deliveries need around 65 feet of straight clearance and many 40-foot deliveries around 120 feet. Always confirm with the delivering provider.

What does WWT mean?

WWT means wind and watertight, a common category for used containers intended for stationary storage. Cosmetic wear and prior repairs can be normal.

Can I rent instead of buy?

Often, yes. Rental availability depends on location, container type and provider. Rentals are commonly used for temporary storage and construction projects.

Does ConexQuotes sell the container?

ConexQuotes is an independent quote-matching service. It helps route customer requests to relevant container providers; provider pricing, availability, equipment and contract terms come from the provider.
