Used 20ft Low Height Shipping Container – 8ft High
This used low height shipping container stands a full 150 mm under the standard 8′6″ box. That margin is the whole product: it slides under awnings, inside sheds, and beneath rooflines that reject a standard container by centimetres. The footprint stays a full 20ft x 8ft, so floor area gives up nothing. Consequently, buyers who measured their clearance and came up short land here.
Where 150 mm Decides Everything
A standard container stands 2.59 m; this one stands 2.44 m. Under a 2.5 m shed opening, that’s the difference between inside and outside. The same margin matters on the road — total travelling height on a tilt-tray drops usefully for routes with low bridges and awnings. Mine sites with height-limited transport corridors buy this configuration for exactly that reason.
What Wind and Watertight Means
WWT units have worked the shipping lines. Expect surface rust, dents, and faded paint — and a guarantee that wind and water stay out. Every unit passes inspection at the Lowood QLD yard before dispatch. The reduced height changes nothing about the grade; the seal is the spec.

The container shares the standard ISO 668 footprint and corner castings, so ordinary container transport and lifting equipment handles it — only the height differs.
Applications
- Undercover storage — secure steel inside an existing shed or warehouse
- Mine-site transport — height-limited corridors and underground portal areas
- Workshops — lockable stores tucked under the roofline beside the racking
- Verandas and awnings — rural properties squeezing storage under existing cover
