This often happens if the container is placed on grass or gravel and then loaded with the weight un-evenly distributed, leading to the container sinking. Each corner must be well supported to avoid racking out. If a full concrete base isn’t an option, we recommend level concrete slabs at each of the four corners of the container, or railway sleepers under the door and end wall, to keep the container level. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"qaef-17664\" class=\"qe-faq-toggle\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"qe-toggle-title\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003ci class=\"fa fa-minus-circle\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e What sizes are shipping containers?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"qe-toggle-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStandard ISO shipping containers are either 20ft or 40ft in length, and all a uniform 8ft wide.

This often happens if the container is placed on grass or gravel and then loaded with the weight un-evenly distributed, leading to the container sinking. Each corner must be well supported to avoid racking out. If a full concrete base isn’t an option, we recommend level concrete slabs at each of the four corners of the container, or railway sleepers under the door and end wall, to keep the container level. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"qaef-17664\" class=\"qe-faq-toggle\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"qe-toggle-title\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003ci class=\"fa fa-minus-circle\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e What sizes are shipping containers?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"qe-toggle-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStandard ISO shipping containers are either 20ft or 40ft in length, and all a uniform 8ft wide.

This often happens if the container is placed on grass or gravel and then loaded with the weight un-evenly distributed, leading to the container sinking. Each corner must be well supported to avoid racking out. If a full concrete base isn’t an option, we recommend level concrete slabs at each of the four corners of the container, or railway sleepers under the door and end wall, to keep the container level. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"qaef-17664\" class=\"qe-faq-toggle\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"qe-toggle-title\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003ci class=\"fa fa-minus-circle\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e What sizes are shipping containers?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"qe-toggle-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStandard ISO shipping containers are either 20ft or 40ft in length, and all a uniform 8ft wide.

This often happens if the container is placed on grass or gravel and then loaded with the weight un-evenly distributed, leading to the container sinking. Each corner must be well supported to avoid racking out. If a full concrete base isn’t an option, we recommend level concrete slabs at each of the four corners of the container, or railway sleepers under the door and end wall, to keep the container level. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"qaef-17664\" class=\"qe-faq-toggle\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"qe-toggle-title\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003ci class=\"fa fa-minus-circle\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e What sizes are shipping containers?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"qe-toggle-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStandard ISO shipping containers are either 20ft or 40ft in length, and all a uniform 8ft wide.
