Why used containers?

It's simple: They are inexpensive, immediately available and extremely robust. Used shipping and storage containers were built for worldwide transport — and it is precisely this stability that makes them the perfect solution for many purposes. Whether as a storage room, workshop or individual special solution: With a used container, you get the highest quality at a fair price — sustainable and proven.

Used containers are cost-effective and sustainable

The costs of a used container vary greatly and depend on various factors. This includes the size of the container, its condition, any additional equipment, the current price of steel and the location, whether in a port or inland. As a result of these diverse influences, prices can fluctuate significantly.

High quality and durability thanks to corten steel

Quality A = multitripper (i.e. used several times for transport), trimodal (truck, rail, ship) transportable, 1 — 5 years old, IICL5 basis for CSC badge. IICL5 classifies new or fully operational containers whose repaired condition also allows long-term rental or use in logistics. The CSC sticker (International Convention for Safe Containers) certifies used containers in quality A:

  • Classification according to CSC safety standards
  • Date, country and area of approval
  • Date of manufacture
  • maximum allowable gross weight and maximum allowable stack weight
  • Load value of the transverse twisting test

Quality B = cargo-worthy, good, used quality, CSC badge available, suitable for export, trimodal (truck, rail, ship) transportable, approx. 5 — 15 years old

Quality C = storage quality, wind and waterproof, CSC capable after repairs if necessary, approx. 10 — 20 years old

Quality D for hobbyists = low quality, for hobbyists, not repaired, only conditionally usable as a storage container

‍

Are used containers a sustainable alternative?

Yes, used containers are a sustainable and resource-saving alternative. Instead of using new raw materials, existing containers are reused and prepared — often after many years of international use. This significantly extends their lifespan and reduces their ecological footprint. When converting to storage, workshop or residential containers, it is particularly clear that anyone who uses used containers not only saves money, but also acts in the interest of the environment.
