We make buying containers a success

Making things happen – that’s Unitainer’s guiding principle. We’re the go-to partner for large corporations and small and medium-sized businesses throughout the DACH region and across Europe. How did we achieve this? By offering customized solutions from a single source.

With over 30 years of experience, we focus specifically on the sale of containers and create tailor-made solutions for customers like you. Our service doesn’t end with mere provision. We also handle the equipment, delivery, and all other processes, and are reliably by your side every step of the way.

What types of containers can you buy from us?

Buying a container is certainly a decision you don’t want to make on a whim. Neither do we. That’s why we’ve put together a comprehensive selection for you.

We offer the following containers for sale:

Standard container

Our standard containers are true classics. Thanks to their versatile sizing options, they can be used for a wide variety of purposes, offering you maximum flexibility. In addition, you can choose from a range of custom RAL colors for painting and take advantage of the options in our conversion portfolio.

Mini container

If you're looking to buy a small container, our Mini models are the perfect choice. Don't let their size fool you—these containers can still hold plenty of items safely. Whether you need to store tools or keep things organized at an event, our Mini containers are the ideal solution and ensure efficient use of space.

Multi-Door Container

Buying a multi-door container is always a good choice when you need maximum flexibility for loading and unloading. Depending on your application, models with various access options are available—from the double-door version with doors on both ends, to side-door containers with an additional side opening, all the way to models with access from three or even all four sides. This allows the load to be optimally adapted to space constraints, cargo, and workflows. Depending on the variant, these models are available as 8', 10', 20', or 40' containers.

Self-Storage Containers

Our self-storage units, available with four double doors or eight single doors, demonstrate just how flexible they can be. Here, you’ll find a suitable solution that you can seamlessly integrate into modular storage plans. That’s why many people find it worthwhile to purchase these storage units.

Refrigerated container

Easy to use, fully equipped, and built to last—buying a refrigerated container is the perfect choice for anyone who values quality and reliability. With interior lighting, a ramp, cooling curtains, and a built-in panic button, all the essential features are covered.

Project cargo container

Flat rack, platform, open-top, and bulk containers are the ideal solution for bulky, oversized, or difficult-to-handle cargo, as well as for steel and bulk goods. They are suitable for the safe transport of steel, machinery, construction materials, and many other types of cargo. Additional interior fittings and securing solutions ensure that the cargo is reliably protected throughout the entire transport process.

Sanitary & office containers

Sanitary and office containers are ideal for use as break rooms, classrooms, or offices. Not only do they come equipped with technical features, optimal insulation, and built-in lighting, but they can also be stacked in multiple layers and connected via staircases. Our premium models also offer additional comfort in the form of better insulation, more factory-installed features such as air conditioning, larger glass panels, or wider dimensions!

New containers vs. used containers – which one should you buy?

We make buying containers not only a personalized experience but also a sustainable one, because you can also purchase used containers from us.

Which model you choose is entirely up to you. We’re here to advise you and are happy to help you make your selection. And if you don’t want to buy your container right away, you can of course rent or lease it! This gives you even more flexibility.
