Agricultural containers: farm storage, ready in days
On a farm or agricultural holding there is never enough enclosed space: for tools, small machinery, plant protection products or freshly harvested produce. Agricultural containers made from shipping containers solve the problem with no building work, no complicated planning permission and within a matter of days.
They are robust, weatherproof and lock with a padlock. We work with agricultural holdings all over Spain and advise you on the size, the type of opening and whether it is better to buy or rent for the season.

Before installing it on the farm
Truck access
Many rural tracks are narrow or have tight bends. Send us the location or a few photos of the access and we will choose the right vehicle for delivery.
Where to place it
On firm, level ground, ideally with concrete supports or a compacted gravel base that avoids direct contact with mud.
- For plant protection products, check the storage regulations of your autonomous community.
- On rural land, ask your local council whether the use requires any formalities.
Frequently asked questions about agricultural containers
Which container is best for a farm?
To store tools and small machinery, a used 20 ft Dry is the most common choice. If you will be moving machinery or pallets in and out frequently, the 20 ft Open Side, which opens along its entire side, makes loading much easier.
Can I rent a container just for the season?
Yes. The rental is tailored to the duration you need, for example a harvest season, and when it ends we collect the container.
Do you have refrigerated containers for the harvest?
Yes, 10, 20 and 40 ft refrigerated containers, new and used, to maintain the cold chain of your produce.
Can you deliver on a rural track?
In most cases, yes. We need to know about the access to choose the right vehicle: send us the location or a few photos of the track.
Do I need a licence to place a container on rural land?
It depends on the municipality and how you intend to use it. We recommend checking with your local council before installation.
Can plant protection products be stored in a container?
A lockable container is a good basis for a plant protection product store, but storing these products has its own requirements: check the regulations that apply to your holding.
