ASSESS YOUR SHIPPING CONTAINER REQUIREMENTS.

When purchasing a shipping container, it’s important to think carefully about what you need and what features matter most. This will help you narrow down your options and find the perfect match for your purpose.

Before deciding, take a moment to ask yourself the following questions:

How do I plan to use the container?
(Storage, transportation, construction, or a creative project?)

What size and condition best suit my needs?
(20-foot or 40-foot? New or used?)

Where will the container be delivered?
(Do I have enough space and access for delivery trucks?)

By answering these questions, you’ll have a clearer idea of what type of container will give you the best value and functionality for your project.

Frequently Asked Questions 

Have questions? We've got the answers! 

What is the best size of shipping or storage container to buy?

While it’s important to pick the right size of container for your project, you also have to pick the right size for the job.

For example, you wouldn’t want to pick a 20-foot container for a project that only needed a 10-foot container, or vice versa. You need to ensure that the size of the container you pick will be big enough to store all of your goods.

To help you choose the right size, here are some factors to consider:
– The weight of the items
– The amount of space you have
– The type of goods
– The risk of damage during transportation

What are the factors to consider when renting a shipping or storage container?

– Cost
This is the single most important factor when deciding whether to rent or buy a shipping container. You should also factor in the cost of insurance and the cost of other necessary equipment and inputs needed to set up the container.

– Location
Another important factor to consider when choosing whether to rent or buy a shipping container is the location. You want to ensure that the location is convenient and within your budget.

– Size
When renting a container, you need to first decide on the size. Generally, the larger the size, the more expensive the rental. The size of the container will also depend on how long you want to rent it for.

For example, you wouldn’t want to pick a 20-foot container for a project that only needed a 10-foot container, or vice versa. You need to ensure that the size of the container you pick will be big enough to store all of your goods.
