A 20-foot containerâs overall capacity is 1,170 cubic feet and its maximum gross weight is 6,700 pounds. These limits vary slightly according to where in the world youâre shipping from, so always check with your agent. 20-foot long container is 8 feet 6 inches tall, and 8 feet wide. This gives you an internal space of 19 feet and 4 inches in length, by 7 feet 8 inches in width and 7 feet and 10 inches in height.
Total internal volume: 2,385 ftÂ³ (67.5 mÂ³) Net shipping load: 57,759 lb (26,600 kg) Note: While a 40ft shipping container can typical hold about twice as much (in volume terms) as a 20ft one, it can actually carry less total cargo weight due to the weight of the container itself. Thus, if youâre looking to ship a car and a large household you may need more than 1 container.
