SIZE
Size is one of the most important considerations when choosing a shipping container. There are many things to consider when deciding which size is right for you, including your budget, how much space you have for a container on your property, and your storage requirements.
While the most common sizes are 20' and 40, XCaliber Container is proud to offer many other lengths to choose from.
Don't forget about height! The standard height is good for most storage needs but opt for high cube height if you need to store large equipment, like tractors.
DOORS
The majority of shipping containers only have cargo doors one one end, but there are other options! Side Open Containers work well for loading and unloading pallets or items with a forklift, while Double Door Containers are ideal when you need access to both ends of the container.
GRADE & TYPE
Most containers available for purchase are either in New (1-Trip) or Used Wind & Watertight condition. We are proud to also offer Refurbished Containers, an XCaliber specialty, to provide additional high-quality used container options at affordable prices! Additionally, we have two types of storage options: General Storage and Specialty Storage! Some of our Specialty Storage products include Roll-Up Storage, ATV Storage, Climate-Controlled Storage and more!
