Exploring The Different Types of Shipping Containers!
Share
When you think of shipping containers, you probably picture giant steel boxes on cargo ships. That’s where they started — carrying goods across oceans. But today? They’re everywhere, on land, powering storage solutions, mobile offices, and more.
Why? Because durable, portable, and adaptable containers are perfect for temporary workspaces, secure storage, and flexible setups. But not all containers are the same — picking the right type is key.
Here’s a quick guide to the main types and how they’re used:
1. Ground-Level Storage Containers
Your go-to for everyday storage. Sizes range from 10’ to 25’, with extra-wide options for oversized items. Easy to load and unload, customizable with shelving, and perfect for construction gear, electronics, or high-volume storage.
2. Ground-Level Office Units
Need a temporary office? These climate-controlled units come in standard and extra-wide sizes. Fully functional, portable, and ready for projects like construction sites, disaster response, or short-term offices.
3. Mobile Office Trailers
Raised off the ground and accessible by ramps, these trailers offer extra mobility. They meet all building and safety codes and are ideal for job sites, events, or locations that require frequent moves.
4. Office + Storage Combos
When you need both, combo units deliver. 20’ or 40’ models provide workspace and secure storage in one container — complete with vinyl flooring and textured walls for a professional feel.
5. Modular Office Complexes
Need bigger setups? Connect multiple trailers to create segmented office complexes. Great for temporary headquarters, remote projects, or long-term sites where teams need dedicated workspaces.
6. Modular Flex Workspaces
Custom layouts, scalable for small or large teams. Stack or arrange units side-by-side for field offices, classrooms, or emergency hubs — fully furnished, with windows and walls, without permanent construction.
7. Refrigerated (Reefer) Containers
Keep it cool. Temperature-controlled storage protects food, pharmaceuticals, and sensitive goods, no matter the weather outside.
8. Blast-Resistant Buildings
High-risk sites need tough solutions. These rugged modules withstand blasts, meet industry standards, and provide safe work zones, break rooms, or admin spaces.
Who Uses Them?
Over 20 industries rely on shipping containers — from agriculture and automotive to healthcare and hospitality. Portable, secure, and adaptable, they evolve with your business needs.
Shipping containers aren’t just steel boxes anymore. They’re flexible solutions that go wherever your business goes— and now you know which type fits your needs.
