A shipping container, which you may also know as a freight, ISO or storage container, is a standardised steel unit primarily intended for transporting goods by land and sea. Shipping containers are designed to withstand extreme weather conditions and handling during transport, and to provide safe storage for various kinds of goods.
The steel sea container is part of logistics services, but thanks to its versatility it has gradually found uses not only in shipping, but also in construction, warehousing and alternative architecture.
If you are looking for suitable storage space, our range includes steel shipping containers for sale at favourable prices. Besides these, we also offer a wide range of tent halls, which give you a truly wide range of uses: from garages to sports facilities and production halls.
What are shipping containers made of?
A typical shipping or sea container is made of highly durable steel, often referred to as Corten steel. That is why it is also known as a steel container. This material is able to resist corrosion, which extends the service life of the shipping container.
The frames are reinforced and the doors are fitted with robust locks and rubber seals, which increases their security. The floor of a steel shipping container is most often made of durable plywood or a steel frame and grating.
How can you use shipping containers?
You may be wondering what our shipping containers for sale can be used for. There really are many possibilities:
Storage space – Steel storage containers are ideal for construction sites, companies and private individuals. You can use them, for example, for the temporary or permanent storage of various smaller and larger items.
Modular construction – The use of containers in architecture is growing – from pop-up shops and offices to eco-friendly housing. You can read more in our article Container living: designer living in a container home.
Workshops and technical facilities – Thanks to their strength and lockability, shipping containers serve as mobile workshops or technical rooms. Some people even use them as tyre services.
Transport of special goods – ISO containers are also used for special purposes – for example refrigerated containers for the food industry or for explosive materials.
Shipping containers and their dimensions
Just as with tent halls and other storage spaces, dimensions are very important for shipping containers too. What are the most common sizes of the containers we have for sale?
Our range includes the two most basic sizes:
6 m shipping containers – The standard 6-metre shipping container (20 ft) offers the ideal balance between size and ease of handling. If you are a sole trader, have a small construction company or are looking for space for personal use, this container size is sufficient for you.
12 m shipping containers (also known as 40 HC) – The 12-metre shipping container, 40 HC (High Cube), is the choice for those looking for significantly more space. Besides its length, it also offers greater height, creating an even larger volume for storing goods or equipment. This container is ideal for large storage systems, industrial use or container buildings.
If neither of these sizes is sufficient for your purposes, take a look at our wide range of tent halls, which stand out for their quality, great price and, above all, very generous dimensions.
We also have another interesting solution for you in the form of shipping container shelters, which you can attach to two shipping containers to create a quality covered space between them, which you can also use according to your own preferences.
Shipping container price
Wondering what a shipping container costs? At Hagro the price is the best, because we guarantee the lowest!
In general, however, the price of shipping containers depends on several factors – mainly their type, size and condition (new or used), but also on specific equipment or modifications.
Our range includes not only compact 6-metre containers, but also spacious 12-metre 40 HC shipping containers, whose price is slightly higher than the smaller ones, but which in turn offer a significantly larger volume.
If you are looking for a flexible alternative to conventional warehouses, production spaces or halls, our competitively priced shipping containers may be the right solution for you. Besides steel shipping containers, we also offer modern and spacious prefabricated halls for various purposes. Contact us today and find the ideal solution for your needs! We will gladly advise you on your choice.
