- Neutral gray color to blend in with most surroundings.

The 20-Foot Storage Container
The 20ft containers are a must for residential storage and equally ideal for contractor storage, retail storage, and industrial storage applications. The relatively small size of this portable storage unit allows placement in applications where space is limited.
Uses for these portable storage units are virtually limitless, and due to the 20ft units’ pleasant appearance and versatility, they’ve emerged as one of our most popular products at A.B. Richards.
The 40-Foot Storage Container
The 40ft containers are ideal for the larger storage jobs. Per square foot, it’s the most cost-effective storage solution of our product offerings at A.B. Richards.
Favored by wholesalers and manufacturers for its size, low cost, and durability, this portable storage sea container has become a standard for industrial storage and larger retail storage applications.
The 40-Foot Jumbo Storage Container
The 40ft hi-cube containers are the largest storage units in our fleet at A.B. Richards and are perfect for large-scale storage applications. They’re primarily used in the commercial and industrial storage markets.
This jumbo container features the same floor area as the regular 40ft container, but the entrance and the inside height are one foot higher, thereby allowing for storage of larger items. The advantages of this container are:
- Pallets can be double-stacked.
- Large, awkward items can be stored with ease.
- A standard size industrial forklift can easily fit inside this 40ft freight container.
