Steel Storage Containers

The OOCL Hong Kong is the largest cargo ship in the world and can carry over 21,000 TEU (twenty-foot equivalent units) metal shipping containers. And that’s just one ship! There are thousands of cargo ships sailing the ocean blue the world over.

These sturdy metal containers are designed to protect their cargo from the harsh elements of a sea journey. For this reason, they are retired long before they have outlived their usefulness. No shipping company wants a reputation of goods being damaged because of old containers.

Since they are still in great shape, these containers are often sold to businesses for storage or other creative uses like sanitary stations on construction sites.

Available Sizes of Metal Shipping Containers?

Though the standard length of an 8 x 8.5-foot container is 20 feet, they come in a variety of lengths.

Small Containers

Cost of Buying Vs Renting Steel Storage Containers in Austin, TX?

The cost of metal shipping containers varies by size and type. However, standard containers in good shape will only cost a few thousand dollars. Since steel containers can easily last 30 years or so, they also hold their resale value well. For this reason, buying a container is usually a cost-effective choice for most businesses.

Buy Used Steel Shipping Containers

But what if you only need the container for a couple of months? Even if the cost is low, if you only need it temporarily the effort of buying one and reselling it may not be worth it. That’s where renting a container comes in handy. For less than $200 a month you can rent a standard container and not have to worry about finding one to buy or finding a buyer when you’re done with it.
