New 20ft (6 m) shipping container
The 20ft container - in Lithuania often simply called the "6-metre" container - is the most popular size. It is easy to deliver and fits even a small yard, yet holds 11 euro pallets or about 33 m³ of cargo.
A new one-trip container has made a single voyage, carries a valid CSC plate and is in near-perfect condition, so it is equally good for shipping cargo and for conversion into a store, workshop, office or garden house.
