About the 8ft standard conex box
A standard dry container is the everyday workhorse of shipping and storage. Built from weathering Corten steel with corrugated walls, a steel roof, and a hardwood or marine-plywood floor, it keeps contents dry, secure, and out of sight.
Double cargo doors on one end swing open wide and close with lockable cam bars, so loading is straightforward and a padlock or lock box keeps it secure. It is the most common and usually the most affordable container style.
Why 8ft?
The smallest unit we offer, it fits in a single parking space and slips into tight yards, alleys, and job sites where a larger box can’t go.
What fits
About the contents of a small closet: tools, seasonal gear, or a few dozen boxes.
Who buys a 8ft standard conex box?
Best for: homeowners who need a secure place for lawn equipment, bikes and seasonal gear; contractors who want a lockable tool room on a cramped urban site; and shops that need a small, weatherproof store for supplies out back.
Because it’s short and light, an 8ft unit can often go where a 20ft can’t: beside a garage, at the end of a driveway or behind a building. Inside it holds about a large closet’s worth, so check your biggest items against the door opening in the specifications. Need shelves or a vent? See 8ft custom builds, or step up to a 10ft standard conex box.

Questions about this container
What fits in a 8ft container?
About the contents of a small closet: tools, seasonal gear, or a few dozen boxes. Exact capacity depends on how the space is packed.
Will an 8ft container fit in my driveway?
Usually. It’s about 8 feet long and 7′ 3″ wide, close to the footprint of a parking space. The delivery truck still needs a clear approach, so mention gates, slopes and overhead wires when you request a quote.
Are 8ft containers sold new or used?
Both. New 8ft units arrive clean and sound, used ones cost less, and either can be customized. Ask about lead times when you request a quote.
Can I rent this container instead of buying it?
Yes. Choose Buy, Rent or Rent to own above and request a quote, and we’ll confirm what’s available for this unit in your area. See how conex rental and rent-to-own work.
Does the quote include delivery?
Delivery depends on your location, site access and the container selected. Share your ZIP or postal code when you request a quote so those details can be checked.
