20ft dry container

20ft high cube container  

The 20ft high cube shipping container is the same as the standard 20ft container but with one important difference. It’s got an extra foot of height. High cubes are great for oddly shaped cargo. Or, if you need that extra storage space to pack in more goods, without increasing the floor space (and thus the overall cost of shipping).

Price of 20ft shipping container for sale 

When looking for the best deals on 20ft shipping containers, it’s essential to consider all available options. Our platform offers a wide range of shipping containers for sale, ensuring you find the perfect match for your needs. Whether you require new or used containers, our extensive global inventory and competitive prices make it easy to secure the right container for your storage or transport requirements. Here are the prices for new and used 20ft containers on our platform. 

New 20ft shipping container prices

Why choose a new container for shipping? New containers have only made one trip from the place of manufacture (usually China) to where goods need to be delivered. They’re usually clean and have little to no dents or scratches. 

Another advantage? You know, for certain, there’s been no cross-contamination, as the seller can tell you exactly what’s been in the container during its first trip. New equipment is a great option if you’ve got the capital to lay down.

It’ll last longer and comes with a longer warranty than used equipment. Let’s look at some prices for new 20ft containers now. 

Location Price (USD)
USA $2,300
China $2,124
India $1,395
Germany $2,150

Used 20ft shipping container prices 

Used, or cargo-worthy containers have made many trips to deliver cargo already. They often have dents and scratches and may have been repaired a few times in the past. 

The upside? Cargo-worthy containers are considerably cheaper than new boxes, and they do the trick of delivering your cargo all the same! All used containers have to undergo a ‘cargo-worthy test’, so they’re structurally sound and completely safe, at a price that doesn’t break the bank. 

Check out the prices for cargo-worthy containers in various popular locations below.

Location Price
USA $1,407
China $1,670
India $750
Germany $1,325
