A. Alternatives to consider are – hiab truck, crane, helicopter.

- Load the container on a dry day.
- Ask us about fitting extra vents if you are storing household contents for an extended period of time.
Don’t:
- Sit container on bare ground. Sit it up about 200mm at each corner so that air can flow underneath.
- Leave the container unopened for months at a time.
Q. Will you buy my container back when I don’t need it anymore?
A. Maybe. Depending on market conditions we might but generally we don’t as it is not good for our container leasing business.
Q. Is it better to lease or to buy?
A. Depends on lease term. If you need the container for more than 2 years, we recommend to buy it.
Q. What are the container dimensions?
A. Please see our specifications page. |
