Product Description

Our 45ft storage containers are the biggest and best for storing your things. They can be partitioned into smaller units for storing large equipment or moving a heap of goods. These containers are constructed with a tough-as-nails exterior of Corten steel or aluminum and a stainless steel interior so that they can withstand even the harshest conditions. A 45-foot container offers enhanced durability and spaciousness, making it a reliable choice for both commercial and personal storage needs. Moreover, they are secure, watertight, and best of all, they’re ready for your creative touch post-purchase. Interestingly, these containers are a popular choice for transpacific shipping from China to the US, due to their resilience and 45ft shipping container size.

Options A 45ft Standard Shipping Containers

If you’re looking for a cost-effective solution, our 45′ shipping containers for sale provide excellent value with their extended lifespan and robust construction. Pelican Containers understands that you’ve got unique needs, and in turn, we’ve got options. You can choose between new or used shipping containers:

  • New 45ft shipping containers were only used for cargo once and are ready for the next task.
  • But maybe you’re watching your wallet, or you just love a good upcycling project. In that case, our used containers could be more suitable. They’ve seen action, but are still in excellent condition.

Both container options come with air vents to ensure excellent ventilation, and we provide security with lashing points and an extra lockbox feature. They’re built to withstand all weather conditions and are completely rodent-proof.

45ft Standard Shipping Containers Dimensions And Weight

Let’s explore 45ft standard container dimensions and 45ft container weight in the USA:

  • First, feast your eyes on the colossal dimensions of a 45ft standard container. This titan stands tall at 45ft in length, 8 feet in width, and a soaring height of 8.6 feet. That’s about 13.7 meters long, 2.4 meters wide, and 2.6 meters high, for those of you who prefer to consider a 45ft container in meters.
  • Stepping inside, you’ll find yourself in a spacious interior stretching 44.4 feet in length, 7.8 feet in width, and a roomy 7.9 feet in height. A 45ft container in meters is approximately 13.5 meters long, 2.3 meters wide, and 2.4 meters high. It’s practically a palace!
  • With precise 45-foot container dimensions, these units maximize storage capacity while maintaining ease of transport and handling.
  • Despite weighing in at a respectable 10,362 pounds (about 4.7 tons), this container can bear an incredible load. The maximum 45 ft container weight in the USA, including its mass plus the cargo, is a whopping 71,650 pounds. That’s around 32.5 tons or 61,288 lbs. Our 45ft container capacity is roughly 30.7 tons — some serious muscle. Additionally, if you’re comparing options, a container 45 feet provides one of the best weight-to-volume ratios for shipping and storage.

Well, are these 45ft shipping container dimensions enough for your shipping and storage needs? If so, let’s find out how this container is delivered once you’ve purchased it.

Buying A Shipping Container? Measure Your Space!

Most people think that if they have 40ft of space, they can buy a container of the same size. This isn’t true. Actually, your container will be delivered through a standard tilt bed ‘roll off’ style truck bed or trailer. That means you will need twice the length of the container, ie, 80ft plus 10ft space in a straight line. Hence, before you buy a container, see how much space you have.

How is this container delivered?

5ft
Tilt Tray

The tilt tray delivers a container off the back of the truck. Similar to a tow truck, the tray is mechanically lowered at an angle, and the container is slid off, with the truck moving forward at a slow speed. This is the most common delivery method used for containers. Tilt trays are not suitable for sites with overhead power lines, as the container height increases significantly when tilted.

5ft
Side Loader

Side loaders are used to transport our 20-foot and 40-foot shipping containers. This is the best delivery method for containers at sites that have limited space either in front or behind the area where the container is to be positioned. The container is unloaded between the two outrigger feet of the side loader, approximately half a metre from the side of the truck.

5ft
Hiab Crane

Hiab cranes lift containers from a mechanism located behind the truck’s cabin. This is used when there is limited space for a side loader or tilt tray. Using a crane means the container is easily positioned at an angle or up on a raised area. It can also be used to place containers over a fence or other obstacles.

Taking a moment to send a big shot out to the Pelican Container Family…. I’m building a shipping container home using 45’ shipping containers. This project started when I purchased 4 boxes from conexwest who sold me (4) 45’ boxes for 6990.00 each (😳) only for 2 of them to be damaged with holes in the structure. They refunded 1 & refused to refund the other. To keep my project from being delayed during the damaged box dispute. I needed a total of 4 boxes to complete the project. I doubled back to conexwest & purchases 2 more boxes @ 6690.00 for 2 with delivery. This purchase was made on 11/23. Conexwest refused to deliver my boxes from purchase date to 9/15/25 only to refund me 9/16/25 after heing contacted by the new station about my order for the purchase made 11/23. I was without a box and came across Pelican Containers… the price I saw was totally fair. I reached out and was contacted by Roselle, she is absolutely perfect to work with. I wasn’t sure at first yet Roselle’s communication is top notch! The delivery was quick! The driver of the box was awesome! The transport team was very cool and flexible. The box showed up just as a used box should some rust… some dents…. Yet WWT for sure Cargo worthy… I’m very thankful and I will ALWAYS USE PELICAN CONTAINERS for my shipping continue purchases! Roselle thank you and your team & as we shared we will continue this business relationship for the time to come!

Valery was a pleasure to work with! She went above and beyond to locate, secure, and ship a flat rack container that suited our needs. We were on a tight schedule, and her diligence and efforts allowed us to purchase and take delivery of the container in just a few short days. She was a key factor in making our project a success! Thanks again, Valery and Pelican Containers!

We were looking for a unique style of container. The one we originally committed to purchasing was sold before we closed the deal. We ended up with a very nice container that had all the characteristics we required, but had a hinged double door on the side. It worked out nicely and Reniel Villar was true to his word. The 4 rating (still very good) was not a 5 due to timing and circumstance. We wood buy from Pelican again. Also, the logistics company's driver was spectacular.
