Shipping Container Dimensions & Sizes

Conex Shipping Container Materials and Construction

Portable ISO shipping containers require no foundations or structural assembly. Modified shipping containers are durable, weather-resistant and secure because they are built with:

• 16-gauge vertically corrugated corten steel
• Double, asymmetrical steel doors with ground-level entry
• Heavy-duty, marine-grade wood flooring
• Die-stamped steel roof

Used and One-Trip Containers

While 20-foot and 40-foot shipping containers are the norm, the age and condition of shipping containers vary greatly. At Falcon Structures, most of the containers we modify and sell fall into the “one trip” or “new” category. One Trip containers have made only one trip from China to the U.S. and are the best option for living and working spaces.

Falcon Structures also offers used shipping containers – those that have made several trips by land or sea – but we only recommend this option for limited applications. Since we always choose containers with modification in mind, we only offer certified, wind and watertight containers.
