Container Fit overview
20 ft Shipping Container
A 20 ft intermodal box swallows almost any single item, so the door opening is the real bottleneck.
20 ft Shipping Container
Typical Measurements
Door opening width
92 in (7 ft 8 in)
Interior length
232 in (19 ft 4 in)
Interior width
93 in (7 ft 9 in)
Interior height
94 in (7 ft 10 in)
Door opening height
90 in (7 ft 6 in)
These are planning defaults. Measure your real opening before buying, moving, or booking delivery.
Fit Notes
- The 92 in door opening is narrower than the interior, so wide items load on edge or diagonally.
- At 94 in interior height, tall wardrobes and appliances clear easily through the 90 in door.
- With 19+ ft of length, long items go straight in; packing density matters more than fit.
