Shipping containers for sale
Wide selection of shipping containers for sale
A steel box of various sizes primarily intended for transport, that is a shipping container in short. A shipping container is characterized by its size and capacity, which allows it to transport various types of cargo. They can come in different sizes, such as 20 feet, 40 feet, or larger so-called high cube containers, and are designed to store and transport a wide range of goods. Today, they have become an indispensable standard in international cargo transport. In our country, they are also often called shipping containers.
Regarding construction, a shipping container is made of Corten steel. They are designed with a rigid and durable structure that allows them to withstand the challenging conditions of maritime transport. This includes extreme weather, mechanical stress during loading and unloading from container ships, and handling at terminals. As a result, they can safely protect the material stored inside the container even during demanding and long journeys.
Every shipping container suitable for transport must also have a valid CSC label, which guarantees its good condition and quality for international transport. Furthermore, each category of container quality must meet strict standards.
What is a shipping container?
A shipping container is a large, sturdy enclosure, usually made of steel, designed for transporting goods by sea, road, or rail. Containers have standardized dimensions, making them easy to handle and stack on ships, trains, and trucks. The most common sizes are 20 feet (6 meters) and 40 feet (12 meters), but there are other sizes and variations, such as high cube (HC) containers or special containers for transporting unusual cargo.
Advantages of shipping containers:
- Durability and long lifespan: Containers are designed to withstand extreme conditions at sea. They are made of durable steel that is corrosion-resistant, ensuring a long lifespan.
- Flexibility and mobility: Thanks to standardized dimensions and easy handling, they can be easily transported and installed at various locations. This makes them ideal for both temporary and permanent installations.
- Environmental and economic benefits: Transforming old shipping containers into new functional spaces is environmentally friendly. Instead of ending up in landfills, the containers are given new life. Moreover, their use is economically advantageous since the cost of modifying a container is often lower than the cost of traditional construction.

Containers in transport
A transport container is an indispensable element of international trade and the transportation of goods worldwide. They can be used for transporting various types of cargo, including cars, electronics, food, clothing, and other goods. Thanks to standards and certifications, such as ISO certification, their safety and compatibility with various modes of transport are guaranteed.
What to use a container for?
Containers also have economic significance, as they help reduce costs and simplify logistics in the transportation of goods. Furthermore, even after their lifecycle as cargo containers ends, they are often repurposed or reused. For example, they serve as temporary construction cells, storage containers, or even container homes made from shipping containers.
A shipping container is therefore a key element in international trade and logistics. Standard dimensions and sizes of shipping containers and their sturdy construction allow for convenient and safe transportation of goods worldwide. They contribute to the efficiency of the business chain and also offer the possibility of reuse even after their primary purpose has ended.

Container Price Comparison

Sometimes prices are slightly higher, sometimes lower. Everything depends mainly on their current condition, availability, transportation costs, and even the color. It is not possible to determine the exact price of a specific type and size of container, as everything influences the price, aside from the current market price, including all the factors mentioned here.
Promotional Prices of Shipping Containers
We are able to offer discounts on containers if you purchase a larger quantity at once. You can also find promotional offers for shipping containers in our offer. These might include cases where we currently have a large number of containers in stock at a particular depot that need to be sold quickly to make room for containers that are already on the way. And that is precisely why we can offer lower prices on some containers than at other depots.
And if it comes to a well-established and trusted company in the market (like our company HZ containers), there is no need to worry about where a problem might arise in case of low supply. However, be cautious about suspiciously low prices at flea markets (such as half the prices usually found on the market). Unfortunately, these cases do occur, and not only in the shipping container industry. That is why the guarantee of an existing company and positive reviews is a great assurance for our customers.

Condition and Quality of Our Containers
New Containers
New containers can be identified in our offer by their IICL 6 quality category – containers after one maritime journey, and IICL 5 – containers after multiple journeys but still in excellent condition. Of course, their price always depends on their condition.
Used Containers
Used containers can be identified by the Cargo Worthy category. These still have a valid CSC label for international transport and, despite their worse visual condition, ensure the safe transport of your goods without compromising their quality. Purchasing a used container is a great option for storage purposes.
The last category is containers for sale labeled AS IS, which are retired containers from maritime transport. They are significantly used and since they can no longer fulfill their purpose in maritime transport, they are offered for sale, for example, for non-demanding storage, where they can still perform their function excellently.
Comparison of New and Used Containers
Not sure whether to buy a new or used container? It is always a matter of price and your expectations. Don’t want to invest too much in the container and need it only for simple storage, such as for garden tools in your yard? The quality of a used shipping container will be fully sufficient. On the other hand, if you’re a prestigious company that will use the container as a storage space for several years, a higher-quality container will be necessary. This will not only represent the company but also provide a long-term safe storage space.
Uses of Shipping Containers for Many Purposes
Transport and Logistics
The primary function of shipping containers is the transport of goods. Thanks to their robust construction and resistance to weather conditions, they protect the contents from damage during transport. Their standardized dimensions allow for efficient stacking and handling, which increases the efficiency of logistics operations.
Storage
Shipping containers are often used as mobile storage, for conversions into self-service storage units, various storage spaces, and different variations of container storage facilities. They are also known as storage containers. Their durable construction protects the contents from moisture, dust, and thieves. They are also easily transportable to different locations as needed. Businesses and individuals use them for storing tools, materials, or personal items.
However, storage space for shipping containers is also provided in construction or is widely used in agriculture for storing feed. There are also containers for humanitarian purposes or used as “re-use centers.”
Living Spaces and Offices
In recent years, it has become increasingly popular to transform shipping containers into living spaces, mobile offices, or commercial establishments. Due to their modular nature and relatively low modification costs, they are ideal for quick and economical construction. Whether it’s a mobile office on a construction site, temporary housing, or a stylish café, small workshop, the possibilities are almost endless.
Art Projects and Community Spaces
Shipping containers are also used in art and community projects. Artists transform them into galleries, studios, or exhibition spaces. In communities, they serve as spaces for cultural events, markets, or temporary community centers. Since containers are recyclable, their use is eco-friendly, and they are increasingly being used for artistic creation.
Custom Modifications and Conversions
Containers can be used not only for conversions into living spaces but can also be turned into objects for business and private use. These can be, for example, garages made from shipping containers. However, these modifications include adjustments such as cutting the container walls, adding entrance doors, implementing garage doors, windows, and other elements, which our company specializes in as part of “custom shipping container modifications” according to the customer’s wishes. Discover the potential of shipping containers and take advantage of their benefits for your projects!
