Why Buying A Shipping Container Is A Smart Idea

Buying a shipping container is an effective, affordable, and beneficial way to store and transport goods. As we touched on above, they’re also fantastic for people looking to live, work, and play in smaller spaces.

When you buy a shipping container, you have freedom. You can use it to build a shed in your backyard, store your valuables, or transport large household goods. The choice is yours!

Because shipping containers are long-lasting and versatile, you can also switch up how you use them. Depending on the day, your container could be a storage facility, a workshop, or an office.

Shipping Container Sizes And Grades

Shipping containers come in a variety of sizes and grades. Understanding these measurements is important to ensure you buy the correct product for your needs.

Typically, you’ll find shipping containers ranging from 10 to 40 feet in length (approx. 3.04 to 12.2 metres). For living spaces, 40ft containers are the go-to, while 10ft containers work well for storage and transport.

We grade our shipping containers based on quality. A-Grade containers have minimal defects like scratches or dents. They’re fantastic for modifications or refurbishments and can suit various building applications.

B-Grade containers may have small defects like scuff marks and bumps. However, they will still be suitable for storage and transport. Both our A- and B-Grade containers are structurally sound, wind-resistant, watertight, and vermin-proof.

East Coast Containers also offers containers with bonus features, such as the High Cube. The High Cube is 2.9m high, compared to the standard height of 2.6m, allowing for extra storage and versatility.

You could also select a One Trip container, which comes in perfect condition, making it ideal for building your new living quarters.

Finding the best quality shipping containers on the market

Finding high-quality shipping containers is easy if you know what to look for! Ideally, shipping containers should be 100% watertight and structurally secure to prevent damage to the interior.

It’s also a smart idea to look for a seller or manufacturer offering custom modifications. These modifications can make creating your dream living space or workspace easier than ever.

At East Coast Containers, we offer a broad range of shipping container modifications, including extra doors and windows. We can also add insulation, ventilation, air conditioning, and even electrical fit-outs to make your new container as comfortable as possible.
