20ft Shipping Containers engineered for:
SCF Containers’ 20ft shipping containers are built to last. Ideal for freight, storage and more. Our containers are wind, water, vermin and pest proof, and come with features such as wooden floors, roof and floor lashing points and our secure lockbox system.
Our 20 ft containers are intermodal, meaning they are purpose built for use across different modes of transport – from ship to rail to road – without requiring unloading at any point.
As one of Australia’s largest suppliers of shipping containers, we can offer various options when it comes to container size, grade, modifications, doors and payment options. We stock 20 foot containers in standard & high cube design (taller, with more vertical storage room), 20 ft side door containers (single or double side doors) and a range of possible container modifications. We also offer a variety of container grades, and give you the option to hire rather than buy a 20 ft container, so you have more budget flexibility.
