Questions
How much fits in a 20 ft sea can?
About 10 standard pallets on the floor, or the contents of a typical two- to three-bedroom home. It is also the right size for a riding mower, ATVs and garden equipment with room for shelving.
Can a 20 ft container go on a pickup or regular trailer?
An empty 20 ft weighs about 2,300 kg, so it needs a tilt-deck truck, a flatdeck with a loader or crane, or a heavy equipment trailer. Most sellers arrange delivery.
