A shipping container, which you may also know as a shipping, ISO or storage container, is a standardized steel unit, which is primarily intended for the transport of goods by land and sea. Shipping containers are designed to resist extreme weather conditions, handling during transport, and to provide safe storage of various types of goods.
A shipping steel container is part of logistics services, but thanks to its versatility, it has gradually found application not only in shipping, but also in construction, warehouses or alternative architecture.
If you are looking for suitable storage space, you will find steel shipping containers for sale at affordable prices in our offer. In addition to them, you will find a wide range of tarpaulin halls, which provide you with a truly wide range of uses: from garages to sports fields or production halls.
What are shipping containers made of?
A typical shipping container is made of highly resistant steel, often referred to as “Corten steel”. That is why it has also been called a steel container. As for this material, its ability to resist corrosion extends the life of the shipping container.
The frames are reinforced and the doors are equipped with robust locks and rubber seals, which increases their safety. The floor of a steel shipping container is most often made of durable plywood or a steel frame and grate.
How can you use shipping containers?
You may be wondering what our shipping containers for sale can be used for. But there are many possible uses:
- Storage spaces – Steel storage containers are ideal for construction sites, companies and private individuals. You can use them, for example, for temporary and permanent storage of various objects of both smaller and larger dimensions.
- Modular construction – The use of containers in architecture is growing – from pop-up shops, through offices, to ecological housing. You can read more in our article Container housing: Design living in a container house.
- Workshops and technical facilities – Thanks to their strength and lockability, shipping containers serve as mobile workshops or technical rooms. Some people also use them as tire shops.
- Transportation of special goods – ISO containers are also used for special purposes – for example, refrigerated containers for food or explosive materials.
Shipping containers and their dimensions
As with tarpaulin halls or other storage spaces, dimensions are also very important for shipping containers. What are the most common dimensions of the containers we have for sale?
In our offer you will find the two most basic dimensions, namely:
- Shipping containers 6m – A standard 6-meter shipping container (20 ft) offers an ideal ratio between size and handling. If you are a sole proprietor, have a smaller construction company, or are looking for space for personal purposes, this size of shipping container is sufficient for you.
- Shipping containers 12m (also referred to as 40 HC) – The 12-meter shipping container, 40 HC (High Cube), is the choice for those looking for significantly more space. In addition to length, it also offers greater height, which creates even more volume for storing goods or equipment. This shipping container is ideal for large storage systems, industrial use or container buildings.
If none of these dimensions are sufficient for your purposes, you can check out our wide range of tarpaulin halls, which stand out for their quality, great price and, above all, very generous dimensions.
In addition, we have another interesting solution for you in the form of shelters for shipping containers, which you can attach to two shipping containers, and thanks to this, you will have a high-quality roofed space between them, which you can also use according to your own preferences.
