For a 20ft container, the vehicle needs roughly 60ft of straight-line space to park and extend its stabilising legs. You must ensure the access route is free of low bridges and overhead obstructions, such as power cables. We recommend placing the container on a hard, level surface such as concrete, asphalt, or compacted hardcore to ensure the doors operate correctly. ## Container Specifications Review the technical details below to ensure the container fits your available space. --- ### 20ft Shipping Container (New) | **SKU:** 20GPNEW **MPN:** 22G1 **Internal Length:** 5.896m **Internal Width:** 2.350m **Internal Height:** 2.393m **Payload:** 28,000 Kgs **Security:** Factory Fitted Lockbox New [20ft shipping containers](https://shippingcontainersofgrangemouth.co.uk/20ft-shipping-container) provide the highest security standard.

Container prices vary by grade (new vs. used) and global market conditions. For deliveries to Campbeltown, transport costs are a significant factor due to the distance from central depots. To get a precise "landed" cost that includes delivery to your postcode, please use our [quote form](https://shippingcontainersofgrangemouth.co.uk/container-quote). #### Do I need planning permission? For temporary agricultural or construction use, planning permission is often not required. However, for permanent placement, or if you are in a conservation area, you may need approval. We recommend consulting the [Argyll and Bute Council Planning Department](https://www.argyll-bute.gov.uk/planning-and-building) to verify local regulations. #### Can I view the container before purchase? We do not permit customers to browse our depot stacks for safety reasons. However, we can provide current photographs of the specific container allocated to your order. This ensures you are satisfied with the condition and appearance before we dispatch the truck to Campbeltown. #### How do I maintain my container? Shipping containers are designed for harsh marine environments and require minimal maintenance. We recommend occasionally checking the roof for debris and lubricating the door hinges and locking bars annually. If the paintwork gets scratched, touching it up with metal paint will prevent surface rust. #### Can you deliver to a farm track? Our trucks are heavy and designed for road use. They cannot drive on soft mud or grass. If your access road is an unpaved farm track, it must be dry, compacted, and wide enough for a large HGV. If in doubt, please send us photos of the access route.
