Used 8ft Shipping Container. Also known as a mini or half-size shipping container, the 8ft container is extremely popular for residential properties, small businesses, construction sites, farms and workshops where access is limited and space is at a premium.
Although 20ft and 40ft containers are the international shipping standard, used 8ft containers offer the perfect balance between security, portability and affordability for storage-only applications.
