20ft, 40ft or high cube?
Begin with the items, load and available site space. Compare actual internal dimensions and door clearances; nominal size alone is not a loading plan.

PLAN WITH CONFIDENCE
How to compare container quotations
Put quotations on the same basis: size, type, condition, quantity, location and timing. Identify what is included in equipment pricing and what is separate, such as depot handling, transport, lifting or applicable taxes. Confirm the quotation’s validity and availability before placing an order.
For leasing, compare the minimum period, return conditions and transport responsibilities as well as the periodic rate. For conversions, compare a written specification and drawings so differing finishes or services do not hide a difference in scope.
Your enquiry checklist
- Define the intended use first
- Compare equivalent equipment and condition
- Check inclusions, exclusions and quotation validity
- Review photographs and relevant documents
- Confirm release, delivery and handover responsibilities
BEFORE YOU ENQUIRE
Useful answers.
Is high cube always the better option?
No. Extra height can be useful for volume, but the intended load, site constraints, transport access and actual equipment specifications determine suitability.
What should I check in used equipment?
Ask about doors, seals, roof, walls, flooring, corner posts, previous repairs and any odour or contamination concerns. Confirm suitability for the intended use.
