What types of containers are available for rent?

The most important thing is to find the right container for your current needs. That’s exactly where we can help, with a comprehensive range of options that can be flexibly adapted to a wide variety of applications.

You can rent the following containers here:

Standard container
Thanks to their variety of sizes, our classic standard containers can be used flexibly for a range of applications—whether as a storage solution, on construction sites, or for temporary projects. This ensures you get exactly the space you need right now. In addition, several RAL colors are available, and customizations from our conversion portfolio can be easily integrated into your rental solution.
Mini container
Do you have limited space and need a compact solution? Then you should rent our mini containers. As small as they may seem, they can still safely hold a wide variety of items. Whether for tools, materials, or use at events, mini containers are versatile and ensure efficient use of available space.
Multi-Door Container
When loading and unloading require exceptional flexibility, our multi-door rental containers are the right choice. Depending on your application, you can choose from various access options—ranging from models with doors on both ends to additional side openings, all the way to variants that can be loaded from multiple sides simultaneously.
These containers offer you significant advantages, especially when dealing with changing locations, limited space, or varying loading processes. This allows you to streamline operations and adapt access to your needs at any time. Depending on the variant, sizes of 8', 10', 20', or 40' are available.
Self-Storage Containers
Our self-storage containers are the ideal choice if you need organized and easily accessible storage space. With multiple units, you can clearly separate your belongings and access them quickly at any time—for example, through four double doors or eight individual compartments.
These containers offer significant advantages, particularly for modular storage solutions or changing needs, such as for materials, goods, or personal items.
Refrigerated container
If you need to safely store or transport temperature-sensitive goods, our refrigerated containers are available for rent at any time. They are ready for immediate use, easy to operate, and equipped with all essential features, such as lighting, cooling curtains, a ramp, and safety features.
Project cargo container
Our project cargo containers are available for rent for bulky, oversized, or difficult-to-handle goods. Whether you need flat racks, platform containers, open-top containers, or bulk containers, you’ll get exactly the type your project requires, complete with the appropriate securing and equipment solutions to ensure safe transport.

Which container is cheaper to rent—new or used?

Whether new or used: what matters most is what you need the container for. New models are particularly suitable for long-term or specialized needs, while used containers offer an economical and readily available solution.

Our used containers are carefully inspected and categorized into different classifications:

  • IICL – the highest standard
  • Cargo Worthy – suitable for carrying cargo / seaworthy (valid CSC sticker)
  • Wind and Watertight – now only usable for storage

We’d be happy to advise you and work with you to find the right solution for your needs.

How to rent a container

Not everyone has the same requirements for their container solution, which is why our rental models can be flexibly adapted to your needs:

Short-term rental
Ideal for temporary projects such as construction sites, events, or short-term storage solutions. Whether it’s a few days or several months—it’s up to you.
Long-term rental
For long-term projects or an ongoing need for additional storage or workspace—ranging from several months to several years.
Rent with purchase option (Rent-to-Own)
Once the rental period has ended, you have the option to purchase the container at a previously agreed-upon price.
Rent with service package
Don't want to worry about a thing? With our all-inclusive package, maintenance, repairs, and insurance are all included—perfect for refrigerated containers, for example.
Rent with delivery and collection
We’ll deliver your container at the start of the rental period and pick it up again when the rental period ends—reliably and on time.
Individual rental offers
Do you need a custom solution? We offer custom modifications such as insulated containers, tire containers, or custom paint jobs—with no obligation to purchase.
Leasing
If traditional rental models aren't right for you, we'd be happy to advise you on alternative financing options, such as leasing.
