Choosing The Right Container

When choosing the right container at ContainerOne, there are several important factors to consider. Shipping containers come in two main types: regular and high cube, and High Cube are only available in 40 and 53’ lengths. The cost of the container will depend on its type, size, and whether it is new or used, as well as the cost of transport.  They make it as easy as possible for its customers.

The length of the container is an important factor to consider when choosing the right one. A 20 feet container may be enough space for your needs but the cost of a 40’ in some cases is not that much more expensive and you will get twice the space.  The height of the container is another factor to consider, with a high cube container providing an additional one foot of height that can make a big difference in terms of headroom clearance, ceiling insulation and additional shelving space. Ultimately, the choice is yours, and with a vast array of containers available, you have many options to choose from.

Financing and Rent To Own Payment Options

Container One has partnered with My Container Rental for a Rent-To-Own program for purchasing shipping containers.
