The numbers that matter
A 10ft standard gives you 70 sq ft of floor and 563 cubic feet (15.9 cbm) of space inside external dimensions of 9' 10" × 8' 0" × 8' 6". Empty it weighs 2,870 lb; loaded it may gross 22,400 lb. In cargo terms that is 4 US pallets or 5 Euro pallets in a single layer.

What it costs
Used, cargo-worthy units currently trade at $1,500–2,500 in the US; new one-trip units at $3,000–4,500. Delivery adds 15–40% depending on distance — always compare delivered prices, not yard prices.
