Are your containers new or used?
We offer both new and used containers to cater to different budgets and quality preferences. New and one-trip containers offer the highest quality, while used containers provide a cost-effective alternative with varying condition grades clearly listed on each product page.

What does a shipping container cost?
Pricing depends on market conditions, container size, and grade. Generally, used containers start from around $850, cargo-worthy containers from around $2,000, and new or one-trip units from around $2,100 and above. Current pricing is listed on each product page and is subject to change based on availability and market conditions.

Can I customize my container?
Yes. We provide modification options including paint, shelving, additional doors, insulation, and other customizations. Contact us to discuss your specific requirements and we will provide a custom quote.

Can shipping containers catch fire?
The exterior structure of a shipping container is marine-grade steel, which provides structural integrity in the event of a fire. The interior flooring is typically marine-grade plywood, which may sustain interior damage in a fire event. The steel structure itself is designed to withstand significant conditions.

Why buy a shipping container?
Shipping containers are a cost-effective, durable, and mobile alternative to traditional storage or construction solutions. They are ideal for secure storage, freight transport, modified offices, cabins, workshops, and more. Buying or hiring a container is one of the most practical solutions for additional space or transport needs.
