Factors to Consider When Choosing a New Container
To buy a new container successfully, you need to take into account these main factors:
- Shipping container size: two main sizes featured in our collection are 20ft and 40ft. 20ft shipping containers are more compact and perfect for backyard storage or a small workshop. 40ft containers, especially in new condition, are great alternative housing or commercial kitchen solution.
- Container height: standard containers come 8'6" in height - great for compact projects or in areas with building height limitations. High cube new containers are 9'6" tall, so they convert into two-storey solutions easily for creative use of space. They are also the go-to when limited footprint is an issue, for example for street vendors.
- Special features: new double door or tunnel access containers create perfect walk-through spaces and new containers with side doors make loading of palletized goods that much easier.
Our New Container Highlights And Features
Every new container in our collection comes built with features that improve security, usability, and long-term performance.
- CORTEN steel construction: Tough steel resists rust and corrosion and will last for decades in any climate.
- Forklift pockets: Reinforced slots allow fast, safe lifting and easy handling.
- Marine-grade plywood flooring: Thick, treated floors support heavy loads and block moisture or pests.
- High-quality locking systems: Strong locking bars and tight seals keep doors secure and weatherproof.
- Extra height, tunnel or side access: Choose the model that delivers more space, double entry, or side loading.
- Flexible for modifications: Add insulation, shelving, doors or windows
These features make our new containers dependable not only for shipping but also for innovative projects such as housing, retail spaces, and mobile offices.
