Sea Containers
Sea containers are specially designed for heavy transport and moving large loads. The most common sizes are 10' DV, 20' DV, 20' HC, 40' DV, 40' HC, and 45' HC, which offer impressive loading capacities.

For example, a 40' HC container provides a loading volume of no less than 75.78 m³. Many sea containers are equipped with a CSC certificate (Convention for Safe Containers), making them ideal for use in international sea freight transport but also a quick solution for storage.

Quality of the sea container

Sea containers are available not only in various sizes, such as 10ft, 20ft, and 40ft, but also in different quality grades: A, A+, B, and C. These classifications indicate the condition of the container — from almost new (A+) to functional but visibly used (C). Depending on your application (transport, storage, or other purposes), you can choose the quality that best suits your needs.

Storage Containers

Storage containers are sturdy, portable units used for the temporary or long-term storage of goods. They are often made of steel and provide protection against weather conditions, vandalism, and theft. Storage containers are widely used in various sectors, such as the construction industry.

Thanks to their standardized dimensions, they can be easily stacked and transported, making them versatile and cost-effective. They are ideal for securely storing materials, equipment, or inventory in a flexible and accessible way. This type of container is not suitable for sea transport.
