How to Buy Containers: A Comprehensive Guide
Purpose and Certification
Before purchasing containers, determine their purpose. If you're planning to ship goods, ensure the containers have a CSC (Convention for Safe Containers) certification. This guarantees the container is suitable for safe handling in commercial inter-modal transport environments. Containers must be robust enough to endure the movement between trucks, railcars, ships, and back again.
Container Construction
Containers are constructed from high tensile steel with a reinforced framework, designed to withstand harsh ocean conditions. They feature corrugated steel walls, treated timber interiors, and double doors secured by four full-height locking bars.
Buying Containers for Storage
If your goal is storage, CSC certification isn’t necessary. However, ensure the containers are vandal and tamper-proof. Consider adding padlocks for extra security to the lockable handles on the locking bars.
Depending on your needs, you may require additional fittings like shelves or lighting. It’s advisable to have these modifications done by the sellers, who understand container specifics.
Transporting and Locating Containers
Containers are heavy, with a standard 20-foot container weighing over 2000kg. They are typically transported by container trucks equipped with cranes for safe loading and unloading.
Position containers on level ground to facilitate door opening. Placing them on four level corner concrete blocks is a good practice. Ensure the location has adequate space for the container and the transporting truck, with no obstacles up to 25 feet high. A clear area of 60'x20'x25’ is ideal.
Buy or Rent?
Decide whether to buy or rent based on your needs. Renting often includes a purchase option should you want to own the container later.
Additional Considerations
Containers are durable and require minimal maintenance. You can choose any color for painting them. Be cautious not to stack damp goods against the walls, as containers can suffer from condensation.
Containers are versatile and can be modified for various uses, such as offices, canteens, and shops. They are ideal for work sites. Discuss your specific needs with sellers who can customize containers accordingly.
