The most popular container size in North Carolina. 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 North Carolina 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 North Carolina weather brings, including tropical systems and their inland remnants and Severe thunderstorms with straight line wind and hail, common across the Piedmont and coastal plain from March through August, Tornadoes, with a spring season and a second smaller late autumn season, including the EF2 that crossed east Greensboro in April 2018, Inland flooding and landslides in the mountains, which is what Hurricane Helene brought to western North Carolina in September 2024 hundreds of miles from any coast, Winter ice rather than snow through the Piedmont, where freezing rain on a north facing grade can hold long after the rest of the county has thawed, Salt air on the coast and the sounds, which is a corrosion question rather than a storm question, and is answered with paint touch up rather than anchoring.

Delivery included. North Carolina delivered pricing: starting at $2,540 for a 20ft Wind and Water Tight container delivered in Charlotte. Price always includes delivery.
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.
Renovations in Charlotte's older intown neighborhoods, where lots in Dilworth, Elizabeth, Plaza Midwood and Wesley Heights are small and there is rarely a garage to empty into.
Contractor tool and material storage on job sites across Mecklenburg, Wake, Guilford, Union and Johnston counties, replacing the daily load in and load out.
Farm, timber and hunt club storage across the coastal plain and the Sandhills, where the container is often the only lockable building on the parcel.
Race shop storage through the Mooresville, Concord and Kannapolis belt, holding chassis parts, wheels, tires and tooling next to the shop.
Sites that will never take a 40ft: two 20ft boxes place under the oak canopy in Raleigh or Fisher Park and give you two doors and two locations.
Coastal and sound side properties from Wilmington to the Outer Banks, where steel and a good lock handle salt air better than a wood shed.
