There are three "typical" container sizes.
A 1 TEU (twenty-foot Equivalent unit) is 20' long x 8' wide x 8' 6" high. The internal dimensions are approximately 19' 4" x 7' 8" x 7' 10"
There are also 40' units - 40' x 8' x 8' 6" - internally 39' 5" x 7' 8" x 7' 10"
And there are 40' hi-cube containers 40' x 8' x 9' 6" - internally 39' 5" x 7' 8" x 8' 10"
The internal dimensions are approximate. (give or take an inch or so, and may vary slightly depending on the container.)
You may be weight limited (as opposed to volume limited.)
In exporting, it is common to encounter a payload of 17,500 kgs. or less in the 20' container, and 24,000 kgs. or less in the 40' container.
The website linked below has some good (basic) info.
For specific data you'll probably want to contact the company you'll be using to ship your equipment. They will likely want to "suggest" what type of shipping arrangement you should use. They should also be familiar with the customs forms you'll need to deal with to export your heavy machinery.
