Shipping Container Office: Options, Specs & Buying Guide

OFFICE & COMMERCIAL

Workspace that arrives on a truck.

Site offices, retail units and commercial spaces begin as standard containers. Size and condition grade come first — appearance usually matters more here, which is what pushes most commercial projects toward a New / 1-Trip unit. Fit-out specifications are confirmed per project.

WHAT TO SETTLE FIRST

SIZE

A 20ft Standard gives 160 square feet; both 40ft options give 320. For occupied space, interior height is worth a second look: 8' 9" in a 40ft High Cube against 7' 9-5/8" in a standard.

CONDITION

New / 1-Trip is as new as it gets; used only once from the factory to the U.S., with a 10-year structural and 10-year no-leak warranty. Warranty terms shown apply to containers fulfilled by Container One. Used grades can show visible signs of prior service.

READ GRADES

ACCESS

Delivery needs 110 feet of straight space for a 20ft container and 130 feet for a 40ft, measured from the placement point. The driver cannot turn within that space.
