How to decide what container will work best for you?

To determine what shipping container will work best for you, ask yourself some questions:

What am I going to use this for?
The potential uses for shipping and cargo containers are diverse, ranging from storage sheds and shops to converted homes. Understanding your intended purpose for the container is vital in determining whether a new or used one is more suitable. If you seek a pristine and unmodified structure, a new container might be preferred. However, if you plan to convert it for alternative use, a used container might offer cost-efficiency and environmental sustainability. Evaluate your needs carefully to make the best decision for your project.

Where am I going to put the container?
Deciding the container’s placement is crucial for choosing the appropriate size. Containers can vary in height, with some reaching up to 9’6″, and in length, commonly available in 20′ and 40′. If you plan to buy multiple containers, ensure you have enough space to accommodate them. Additionally, consider the delivery process, as drivers will need sufficient room to safely drop off the container. Properly assessing the available space and location requirements will ensure a smooth and successful container acquisition and delivery process for your specific needs.

What condition is the container in?
Used containers may have undergone numerous trips across the ocean and traveled extensively on highways. Familiarize yourself with container ratings to understand their condition. Ratings like “One Trip” indicate nearly new containers, while “Cargo Worthy” implies they meet shipping standards. “Wind and Watertight” containers may have some wear but remain secure. Lower-rated containers might require repairs. Inspecting the container and understanding its rating will help you make an informed decision, ensuring you select a container that meets your requirements and budget.

Am I going to make any modifications to the container?
This is crucial as it affects the container type suitable for your purpose. If you plan to use it as a storage shed, installing shelves and proper venting might be necessary depending on your stored items. Decide whether you’ll make these changes yourself or if you require them done prior to delivery to ensure the container aligns with your specific needs.
