Buying Used Shipping Containers for Shipping Cargo

Ironically, the last thing that comes to mind for many people who are looking for shipping containers for sale, is what type of container they should buy. Most customers get confused as to whether or not they need a used or new container for a specific purpose or not! Of course, if you do need to ship cargo securely and efficiently overseas, we have dozens of container designs for that too. Our standard range includes general-purpose 10-foot, 20-foot, or 40-foot shipping containers, as well as high cubes and side-loading containers. Or if you prefer you can choose from the specialized range of open tops, flat racks, and refrigerated and insulated containers we have in stock.

How Much Does it Cost to Buy New or 2nd Hand Shipping Containers in Canada?

Shipping Containers vary in size, condition, and in uses/purposes for which they serve. As a result of this, they would vary in price as well. That is why, at Ports Containers, we don’t usually answer most of the questions relating to the prices of containers on the phone, but very specifically, we ask questions about your needs and prepare a quote for you. At Ports Containers, we believe that satisfying your needs is far more important to us than our prices. As a result of this we ensure you get the best and most competitive price there is anywhere in Canada. Often we recommend that customers should call or send us a quote instead via email or on our website. We offer extremely competitive prices on both new and used shipping containers available for sale, and you will get a no-obligation quote back to you within 24 hours.

Hiring or Renting Shipping Containers from Ports

Ports Containers have three types of shipping container hire services available: General Purpose, High Cube, and Refrigerated. With the cost of hiring a shipping container starting at less than the price of your average morning cup of coffee (Yes, it’s true!), hiring or renting a container on a short-term basis can be a much cheaper alternative to buying one. Especially for those operating on a budget. Simply call our friendly customer service team on 64835353535 and we’ll walk you through the container hire process.

Using Shipping Containers the Next Time You Move House

Ports Containers have a special service right for you whenever you are planning to move your stuff to a new house. Our ‘Load Yourself Container Removals Service‘ is a new and exciting door-to-door removalist service we’ve pioneered, which is available Canada-wide. How it works is that we deliver a storage container to your premises, and you pack your goods at your own pace and time. We then transport the container to your new home where you can unpack your goods at your leisure. No pressure, no fuss, and no worrying about having to pay removalists for every hour they’re on the job! And, once you’re finished unloading your possessions at your new address, you call us and we take the container away again. It’s a wonderfully simple, secure, and cost-effective way to move house in your own time, without all the pressure and stress. No longer do you have to put up with sleepless nights packing up your home, with the clock ticking and your anxiety mounting. With our ‘Load Yourself’ removal service, moving home has never been easier!

Cost of Hiring or renting Shipping Containers?

Again, this is one of those ‘how long is a piece of string’ type questions (as it depends completely on what type and size of shipping container you are looking to hire). But just as our shipping container for sale prices are always competitive, so too are our container hire rates which are surprisingly affordable. Simply request a ‘Quick Quote’ outlining your requirements and we will get you a precise quotation back within the day.

Need modified Shipping containers?

Nobody knows how to modify shipping containers quite like Ports Containers. We have an extensive range of modified shipping containers available, such as site offices, switch rooms, accommodation containers, first aid rooms and ablution blocks, workshops, cafes, and bars ready to order. And for those businesses that require a little extra detailing, we can also install additional accessories and customizations to your modified shipping container such as air conditioning, insulation, windows, extra doors, etc.

We Are Experts in Shipping Container Modifications and Customization

Separate from our pre-modified range, we also love creating amazing, one-of-a-kind, shipping container conversions for our clients. From an environmentally-friendly bush retreat; to custom-built, transportable living facilities for FIFO workers; to a secure storage facility for dangerous goods and perishables; a transportable computer server room; a pop-up traveling stage complete with in-built storage; a branded display center for trade fairs; a unique and quirky coffee shop; an industrial themed restaurant and bar; a portable media center for Tough Mudder events…these are just a few of the permanent, semi-permanent and temporary installations that our shipping containers have been utilized for.

Add Container Accessories to create a Customized Shipping Container Design

Ports Containers have a long list of container accessories that you can choose from to customize your order, such as windows, doors, air conditioning, insulation, lighting, flooring, kitchens, bathrooms, refrigeration, etc. And with one of the largest container modification facilities in Canada on-site, we can build and modify versatile and customized containers to your exact requirements and deliver to you at a specific date or you simply buy one of our already customized containers and we deliver to you within a week

We Offer Nationwide Shipping Container Delivery

With depots situated all around Canada, Ports Containers offer a fast and efficient nationwide and international delivery service. And depending on where you want your container sited, a Tilt Tray, Side Loader, or Hiab crane will be used to deliver and position your shipping container per your order. And if you already have the equipment to offload the container yourself, semi-trailer delivery is also an option.

We Accept Both Big And Small Shipping Container Jobs

At the other end of the scale, you could be someone who works in procurement for a huge construction or mining company and need a few hundred shipping containers for sale, all delivered to your work-site, in double-quick time. Because that’s okay too, as Ports Containers can easily handle any container requirements you have. Be they large or small, modified or off the factory floor, Ports Containers have a solution to match both your budget and your specifications. And of course, if you need to ship goods or cargo to some exotic far-flung overseas destination, safely and securely, Contact Ports Containers and we shall deliver it without any hassle

We Also Have Shipping Container Shelters – Container Shelters

Container shelters are an impressive way to turn a couple of shipping containers into an extraordinarily simple yet cost-effective transportable storage and protection facility against wind, water & vermin proof. Which is a great alternative to building a large, expensive permanent warehouse on-site. Take a look at our container shelters page, and you’ll see the amazing versatility and innovation that can be created with a little bit of out-of-the-box thinking (or should that be ‘out of the container’ thinking!) by our amazing professional team of engineers and craftsmen.

Satisfied Container Customers – Both Large and Small

It probably won’t come as much of a surprise to learn that satisfied Ports Container customers love to use us over and over again. It might surprise you to know that shipping containers are not solely in the domain of corporate behemoths and multinational mining conglomerates, but with many hundreds of containers being bought or hired each month from us by individuals or families who have far more modest needs (and budgets!) than big companies. With our new and used shipping containers available at surprisingly affordable prices, we pride ourselves on our huge list of satisfied and happy customers

Maybe you’re an individual looking to buy a shipping container for a storage shed, garden shed, art studio, or workshop. Or perhaps you’re a Canadian small business with a groovy idea for using a container to launch a one-of-a-kind start-up office, outdoor coffee shop, or snack bar? Or else you might be a local business owner looking to modify a shipping container to make an eye-catching trade show stand for maximum impact. If your answer is yes, you are indeed safe in our hands
