Renting a shipping container can be a practical solution when you need temporary storage or transport. If you need a container for a longer period, regular transportation or permanent storage, buying a shipping container may be the more economical option.
Shipping containers can be used to transport and store goods by sea, road and rail. The right container depends on factors such as the dimensions and weight of your cargo, the required loading method and the amount of storage space you need.
Types and sizes of shipping containers
Our regular stock includes several common shipping container sizes. 20ft shipping containers are a popular choice for both transport and storage, while 40ft shipping containers offer considerably more loading capacity for larger volumes.
We may also have 10ft shipping containers available. If the required size is not in stock, we can modify a larger container to create a solution that meets your specifications.
New and used shipping containers
Alconet Containers buys and sells new and used shipping containers worldwide. Our available stock varies continuously and can include different container sizes, types, ages and conditions.
Used shipping containers are often an attractive option when price is an important consideration. Depending on their condition, they can be suitable for transportation, storage or modification. New containers are generally the preferred choice when appearance, condition and a long service life are the main priorities.
Custom shipping containers
A standard shipping container does not always meet every requirement. We can modify containers according to your specifications, either before or after transportation. Possible modifications include additional doors and windows, electrical installations and extra access points.
Tell us how you intend to use the container and what specifications you require, and we can help determine which container and modifications are suitable for your application.
