Shipping containers are versatile tools used for a wide range of purposes, from transporting goods across the globe to serving as on-site storage units or even building materials for creative projects. At American Conex Inc., we offer a variety of containers to suit different needs, but it’s essential to understand their dimensions to choose the right container for your specific requirements. shipping container dimensions
