5 advantages of container supports for safe and flexible container installation

Container supports are an efficient solution for setting up containers safely, stably and without costly foundations. They are used for storage, office and ISO containers as well as on construction sites or temporary locations. By using high-quality container supports, you not only improve the stability but also the service life of your container significantly, make maintenance work easier and create more flexibility when changing locations or changing application requirements, especially in dynamic logistics, industrial and construction environments with changing loads.

Below we show you 5 decisive advantages of container supports and why they are the best choice for many applications.



What are container supports?

Container supports are specially developed support elements that are mounted under or at the corners of a container. They enable the container to be lifted, aligned and set down safely – even on uneven or unsecured ground – and ensure lasting stability, load distribution and increased operational safety.

Typical areas of application:

  • ISO container
  • Building site container
  • Storage and material containers
  • Office and residential containers

5 advantages of container supports at a glance

Stable and secure container installation

Container supports are designed for high loads and ensure a permanently secure installation – even in changing ground conditions.

No concrete foundation required

With container supports, there is no need to build a fixed foundation. This saves time and money and means the container can be moved at any time.

Protection against moisture and soil moisture

The distance between the container and the ground prevents waterlogging, reduces corrosion and extends the service life of the container.

Flexible height adjustment

Depending on the version, the height of the container supports can be adjusted. This allows the container to be precisely aligned and leveled.

Quick assembly and high mobility

Container supports are easy to assemble, dismantle and reuse – ideal for temporary and mobile applications.
