Find the right container for your vision

Buy new or used shipping containers

When buying a shipping container, it is not just the size that matters, but above all the condition. A new shipping container is the right choice if you are looking for a clean, long-lasting solution and the container will be visible, for example on company premises, as storage space with customer access, or as a base for a conversion. New containers generally have only minimal signs of transport, are in excellent technical condition, and are particularly well-suited for further modification, painting, or outfitting.

A used shipping container is a practical choice when you need robust storage space and cosmetic wear is not a concern. Minor dents, scratches, or surface rust are normal for used containers. The most important factors are that the container is wind and watertight, the doors close properly, and the floor remains structurally sound. For many applications on construction sites, in depots, in agriculture, or as material storage, a used container is therefore the more cost-effective solution.

Minimize logistics costs through nesting

Putting containers together: How to transport several containers in one delivery

For construction companies, freight forwarders, and industrial clients who buy shipping containers in larger quantities, freight and delivery costs are a key lever for optimizing overall margins. When procuring smaller construction and material containers (such as 8, 9, or 10-foot versions), the logistical nesting process offers buyers a decisive price advantage. In this method, smaller container types are precisely loaded into larger units (such as 20 or 40-foot high-cube shipping containers).

  • Massive reduction in freight costs: Nesting eliminates expensive empty runs.
  • Optimized depot storage & scalability: Multiple ready-to-use units for material storage, tool security, or construction site facilities.

Whether you are buying brand-new ISO containers or certified used shipping containers for your fleet, opting for nested units guarantees maximum utilization of truck loading space.

Typical combination options at a glance:

  • 6 foot container → fits in an 8 foot container
  • 8 foot container (with 6 feet inside) → fits into a 10 foot container
  • Outcome: Up to 3 container sizes can be transported in one unit (6', 8' and 10')

A combination is also possible with 20-foot containers:

  • Insert 1 × 6 foot container in 1 × 8 foot container
  • 2 x of these 8 foot containers fit in a 20 foot container
  • Outcome: With one delivery, you get: **
    • 1× 20 foot container
    • 2×8 foot container
    • 2×6 foot container

Your benefits from interlocking containers:

  • Clearly lower transport costs per container
  • More efficient delivery with just one trip
  • Several stock sizes available immediately
  • Particularly economical for construction, industry and growing storage requirements

This transportation solution is ideal if you want to use smaller storage containers flexibly and at the same time want to optimize logistics costs.

The beginnings of container transport: A revolution for logistics

sea container — often also as shipping container or overseas container — have been an indispensable part of global trade in goods for decades. Their standardized design stands for maximum Efficiency, safety and flexibility in international trade. But these robust steel structures have long since fulfilled much more than just a transport function.

Today become sea containers not just for freight transport, but also as storage container, mobile office containers workshop solutions or even as residential container used. Thanks to their modularity and durability, they can be flexibly converted and used anywhere.

Side door sea container

But how did the container transport success story actually begin?

beginnings: The first modern shipping container was 1956 by Malcolm McLean developed by a US entrepreneur who had the idea of transporting cargo more efficiently. His idea? Standardised metal containers that can be lifted directly from the truck onto the ship and later onto the train or other means of transport. Standardised sizes enabled loading to take place significantly faster, which revolutionized logistics costs.

Introduction of ISO standards: Starting in the 1960s, ISO standards were introduced, which defined uniform dimensions and standards for containers. This enabled global use, regardless of the mode of transport (ship, train, truck).

Significance for globalization: Containers made a significant contribution to advancing globalization by speeding up international trade and making it safer. Today, there are over 20 million active containers in use all over the world.

Learn more about the various types of containers, their technical features and a wide range of applications in commerce, industry and architecture.

Standardised shipping containers: The basis of modern logistics.

Why shipping containers dominate logistics

ISO-Normen: Ensure uniform dimensions and technical requirements worldwide.
CSC-Zertifizierung: Guarantees the seaworthiness of containers for international trade.
TIR approval: Allows use in cross-border road traffic. These standards ensure safety, quality and compatibility across all transport routes.

The standard in logistics — 20' DC shipping container for your business.

The most frequently used containers, ideal for transporting goods, are the standard 20 foot (6.1 m x 2.44 m x 2.59 m) and 40 foot (12.2 m x 2.44 m x 2.59 m) containers.

1. Architecture and design

Container houses, modular offices or creative pop-up stores make overseas containers a popular material for architects and designers.

2. Construction industry

Robust and mobile freight containers serve as storage for tools, construction site offices or even as temporary bedrooms.

3. Retail and events

From mobile sales stands to eye-catching exhibition stands — containers are an ideal solution for flexible, transportable business spaces.
