Frequently asked questions

How much does a shipping container cost?

Prices vary depending on size and condition. Used containers range from €1,000 to €1,800, while new ones cost between €2,500 and €4,000. Contact our sales agents to receive a tailored quote for your specific needs.
Prices are primarily determined by the container’s condition and geographic location. Costs fluctuate based on available inventory at each depot.
It depends on your intended use. For short-term needs (a few months for a project or temporary storage), renting is generally more cost-effective as it avoids a high upfront investment. For medium- to long-term use, purchasing is more economical. Between 12 and 24 months, rental costs typically exceed the purchase price.
Specific colors are harder to select for used units. New containers come in specific RAL colors, subject to current stock availability.
Transport pricing depends on whether you require delivery with offloading (crane truck) or standard delivery. This is quoted alongside your main order, as transport costs depend on the delivery route and final service specifications.
Ask us about financing options. We partner with financial institutions to help spread the cost into monthly installments.
The main types of containers are: Dry for general cargo, Reefer (refrigerated) for perishable products, Open Top for tall cargo, Flat Rack for large or heavy loads, Tank for liquids, and High Cube, which offers greater height and capacity.
Yes. Containers are versatile and easily converted into storage space, offices, workshops, or residential living spaces with proper modifications.
A new container (often referred to as a “one-trip” or “first-trip” unit) is in prime aesthetic and structural condition. Used containers have years of service history and may show wear or minor repairs, but remain fully functional and budget-friendly.
The most common containers are 20 ft (6.06 m long × 2.44 m wide × 2.59 m high) and 40 ft (12.19 m long × 2.44 m wide × 2.59 m high). The 40 ft High Cube offers the same length and width but greater height at 2.89 m, while the 45 ft HC Palletwide measures 13.72 m long × 2.50 m wide × 2.89 m high (0.06 m wider than standard to accommodate pallets side by side).
A High Cube container is a standard unit—typically 40 feet long—with an added foot of height (approx. 2.89 m instead of 2.59 m), maximizing cubic capacity for voluminous cargo.
Yes, we offer national delivery across Spain as well as international shipping, subject to availability and logistics requirements.
Containers are delivered on specialized container trucks. Ground placement is completed using tilt-bed trailers or crane trucks depending on site access and conditions.
Delivery typically takes between 4 to 7 business days from order confirmation, depending on transport availability.
The surface must be level, firm, and capable of bearing heavy loads. The standard setup involves placing concrete footings, blocks, or a slab directly under the four corner castings (the main load-bearing points). Compacted gravel is also suitable for simple setups. Ensure proper site drainage to keep the base stable.
