Shipping containers - new or used?
A shipping or freight container does not always need to be new - on the contrary! Our used shipping containers are extremely popular with our customers. In addition to the most commonly used 20' and 40' box containers, we also offer High Cube containers for sale.
Used shipping containers can be used in many different ways:
- Tyre and material storage
- As a storage facility at a trade fair
- As a mobile garage
- Or as a transport container
If you have any questions about alternative types of containers, such as "Open Top", and for more information about the CSC label (International Convention for Safe Containers), please feel free to contact our staff who will be happy to answer any questions you may have about your shipping container.
