About Small Shipping Containers

Small shipping containers—also known as mini-containers—have the same steel profiles, corner fittings, and forklift pockets as their larger counterparts and provide secure storage wherever space is limited.

Available in sizes starting at 6 feet, small shipping containers are perfect for private properties, inner-city construction sites, or anywhere where every square meter counts. When empty, they can be stacked up to three units high—for space-saving storage.

Since mini-containers are produced in smaller quantities than standard containers, they are slightly more expensive to purchase—but they offer maximum value when every square meter counts.

What can I use small shipping containers for?

Mini-containers are ideal for any application where space is limited. Popular uses include:

  • Individual rental units in self-storage facilities
  • Equipment Storage at Inner-City Construction Sites
  • Aufbewahrung von Sportausrüstung an Schulen und Hochschulen

Yes, we can convert larger shipping containers into smaller storage units in two ways:

  • Partitions: We can install a partition in the middle of a tunnel container to create two separate, smaller storage units within a single container.
  • Cutting: We can cut the container in half (or cut it to your desired dimensions) to create two smaller, independent units.
